At his workshop, we found a spread of treats, all completely inedible, of course. It i remarkable craftsmanship, show, which marino first learned wow. My father always said before you eat something, observe it, he remembered. Study i i color,patterns, then you can dig in. Making it look just right takes a lot of trial and error.

Reporter literally. This Graphic Designer used to paint the Old Fashioned way. Untillhe day he became fascinated by his cup of green tea. And i thought, i wonder if i can make this into a painting medium, what that would be like . Reporter browns and greens were easy enough. But keeping other clears stable, not so much. Whatats the hardest color to make stick . Hardest color to make stick is probably the reds. Reporter are you still working on mastering the reds . I recently have just got it. Reporter you just got it after how many years . The whole process has been about ten years. So now i have a full c cor spectrum, so i can get flesh tones, purples, silvers, grays, blacks, whites, the whole works.

My political director is getting pecked by totus. America is after all a country of Second Chances and this turkey has earned out a Second Chance to live out his life on 1,000 acres of open land complete with a barn called the white house on turkey hill. By the way, can i just i am going to publicly thank malia and sasha for once again standing here with me during the turkey pardon. [ applause ] they do this solely because it makes me feel good. Not because actually they think this is something i should be doing. I know some folks think this tradition is little silly. I do not disagree. Ive got to listen to my critics say im often too soft on turkeys. With that, i hope that everybody has a very, very happy thanksgiving, and i now am going to go over and with the power vested in me and officially pardon this turkey.
