Jack's meat stuffed with meat

So, I have this friend Jack and he really defies description but we can call him quirky for the purposes of this note. Of course he's also funny, smart and loyal, but to illustrate the quirkiness, I shall tell you about his Memorial Day celebration. Instead of the traditional barbecue, he is cohosting a Thanksgiving-style dinner. For which he created a turkey partially deboned and stuffed with a chicken, a pork tenderloin, sausage and bacon, all exquisitely and fragrantly herbed. Of course my professors would be aghast at this Frankenstein beast, but I am happy to be along for the ride in the eccentric experiment. Tomorrow the monster starts roasting at 8am.

On a side note, while he and other friends were here preparing dishes for tomorrow, we invented a delicious cocktail with watermelon juice, gin and lime on the rocks, some with seltzer. Jack pointed out it tasted like candy. Of course a quick googling shows me we didn't invent it per se, but without knowing it was a real drink, we came up with a good one.
