Baste. Wait. Baste. Panic. Sticker

About this design

Cooking the Thanksgiving turkey looks calm from the living room. In the kitchen it's a loop of opening the oven, checking the thermometer and quietly doing math about when everyone arrives. Here is the whole process in four words.

A golden-brown roast turkey rests on a teal platter, cranberries scattered around it and paper frills on the drumsticks. Below it, “THANKSGIVING COOK” is set in small black capitals, “BASTE. WAIT. BASTE.” follows in red condensed type, and “PANIC.” lands at the bottom in huge red letters with a black drop shadow.

Stick it on the meat thermometer case or inside the recipe binder, right next to the roasting times.

Who it's for

Get it for the first-time host, the mom who has done this for twenty years and still checks the bird every ten minutes, or whoever volunteered to deep-fry. It makes a good host gift, too.

Questions

It's made for them. Hosts laugh hardest because they've lived every step.

Does the design show a turkey?

Yes, a roasted turkey on a teal platter sits above the words.

Can the sticker go on a water bottle or cooler?

Yes. It's a durable vinyl sticker that holds up to everyday handling and the occasional splash. Hand wash anything it's stuck to; dishwashers wear stickers down.
