GREEN VALLEY LAKE, CA — Local man Landon Collings, 45, heroically volunteered to do the most important part of Thanksgiving meal preparations this year: staying out of the kitchen so his wife, Carla, could actually get things done.

Collings successfully did his part by not going into the kitchen at all, just playing around on his smartphone, and "generally making himself scarce," according to sources.
"I'm not a hero or anything," he told reporters as he lounged outside the family cabin sipping a morning coffee. "We all have our part to play. My part is not to go into the kitchen where my wife will constantly be bumping into me and telling me to get out of the way. It's ain't much, but every little contribution helps."

Sources confirmed that Collings had learned his lesson in years past, when he would go into the kitchen and keep offering to help, only to have Carla get increasingly frustrated as he did things wrong, stood in all the wrong spots, and just generally annoyed her with his presence. So this year, he says, he's just gonna "kick back" and let the women of the family do their jobs without any interference from him.

"This is the kind of wisdom you only get with experience," he added, smiling, as he looked off into the distance. "Oh man, I bet the football game is on.

I handled ALL my Thanksgiving feast preparations today, all by myself!

Popped the frozen pizza in the oven, opened a beer, and watched.the Lions game.

And I've been fed... Coral tried a new method of preparing the Turkey & it was excellent... Mesquite Turkey Yum!!!

I cooked the turkey and never entered the kitchen

I always ask my wife for a written list of what is expected of me. I will do more if she asks me, but this way there is no issues. This has worked for me over the years. I stay completely out of the kitchen until it is time to carve the meat, and this year my son helped with that.

X2, I'm as handy as a pocket on a shirt, but don't make me guess, I'm not clairvoyant!!

drove 2 hrs to saginaw, watched the Lions barely pull it off, ate a killer meal, caught up with the northern family, great time, then 2hrs back. The drive is getting to be a chore anymore, but beat the snow moving in, alot to be thankful for. I'm very rich in family. and didn't cook or prepare one Item, mission accomplished.

I always help out in the kitchen, my son even comes over to help too. First step is to make a LARGE Bloody Mary!!!!!It all goes easier then!!!
