*Note1* My review is based on professional editing points. It is meant to be honest, encouraging, and respectful in accordance with WDC guidelines.

*Reading* THE STORY

Hank wants to fry a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner, but Amy suspects he's not up for the task.

*Smile* WHAT I LIKED

I liked the characterization. Hank was an easy going guy and Amy decided not to sweat over the small stuff.

*Star* POV NARRATION/TENSE

This is told in the third person omniscient. Good job with narration. Past tense is used appropriately.

*Star* DIALOGUE

The dialogue drives the narration. Dialogue tags are used appropriately. The dialogue does a good job to conveying the characterization.

*Star* DESCRIPTIONS

The best: "Hank and Bill in a flurry of activity, flames leaping out of the fryer. Precious beer was being poured onto the now smoldering, blackened turkey." - great visual here. I can see two guys, totally flummoxed, trying to put out the fire.

*Star* SETTING

TIME: modern day
PLACE: kitchen & garage

This is something that was clarified for the reader.

*Star* CHARACTERS

Hank and Amy

Amy knows precisely what is going to happen if Hank tries to cook a turkey and she ends up being right.

*Star* MECHANICS

I did not spot any spelling/punctuation mistakes.

*Star* PARTING THOUGHTS/SUGGESTIONS

The opening engages the reader. Amy saved thanksgiving with some creative alternatives. A warmhearted story that will make one smile. Good luck in the Bard's Hall contest.
