The great-grandmother's recipe (Part I)

I went to see my friend Joe some hours before dinner on the Thanksgiving Day. When he opened the door, I found him with his suit covered in paint.
I asked him: "What have you been doing? "Your clothes are covered in paint!"
"I’ve been decorating the kitchen” he replied me. “What a great idea! Then, I suppose you don’t remember that you invited me and Mary Mary and I for having a dinner with you this evening!”
“No, don’t worry! I remember it very well. I’ll finish within 15 minutes. I’ll have five hours to get dinner ready and to lay set the table before you come here (or arrive)”.
“I’m not sure it’s a good idea to have dinner with paint’s smell such a strong smell of paint in the room. Couldn’t you wait to do it?”
“No, no, it that was impossibile, I wanted to cook a big turkey with the recipe of using my great-grandmother's recipe.”
"How does this touch on What does this have to do with the decoration of your kitchen?"
Meanwhile, we came in entered the kitchen and I said: ”mmmhh, what a lovely smell! What have you been cooking?”
“I’ve been baking a chocolate cake”
Looking at Joe I exclaimed “But, I see that you’ve been crying” “Have you been crying?"
“No, no” said Joe a little embarassed "I’ve been chopping onions”
"I see, have you been putting onions in your chocolate cake?” I burst out laughing,
“Absolutely not! ehm….., well, I’ve been telling you about the turkey!” “Yes!…tell me about this fabulous recipe”
“Something went wrong with the turkey!”.
“Joe, you seem a little under the weather, what the hell have you done with this turkey?
“Oh Mark! I’m shaking on my legs (weak in the knees), I’m afraid I’ll screw it up!”
“Joe, what are you saying? I can’t understand a thing! Have you been putting chocolate inside the turkey? Talk to me and explain what you’ve done!!”
“But….Oh Joe!"
“You must talk turkey about this damned turkey! :) If you messed up the dinner but I still have time to book a table at the restaurant! Get down to brass tacks!”
