Have You Got Your Turkey? A Cuban in Louisville Prepares for Thanksgiving

Wednesday, November 27, 2024 by Oscar Fernandez

Yisle, a young Cuban known as @yisleblogs on TikTok, is charming her audience with laughter and likes as she shares her Thanksgiving preparations from Louisville, Kentucky. Her video kicks off with a straightforward yet crucial tip: “Sweetie, let’s go get the Thanksgiving turkey, because three years ago I was late and ended up having to eat turkey breast out of necessity.”

With her signature humor, Yisle jokes about the challenge of keeping everything in check: her home, her son Caleb, and the “responsibilities I’ve taken on myself.” She narrates how this time she planned ahead and hit the supermarket on Monday to avoid missing out on the turkey, reminding everyone that in America, more than abundance, the shelves are bare if you arrive too late. Still, she was stunned by the prices: “I bought three little things and spent almost $70, I’m still trying to figure out where that money went because it’s crazy.”

Reflections and Humor

Yisle also reflects on how her life has shifted since arriving in the United States, acknowledging that she used to be more laid-back but now feels constantly on edge. Nevertheless, she maintains a humorous outlook on daily life with her son: “Caleb can’t hear a door because he runs out immediately; that boy drinks more milk than a calf.”

Engaging with Followers

Yisle’s followers were quick to respond. Comments like “I’m going to buy the turkey today too,” “Sweetie, Caleb is the king of the street,” and “I saw you on your porch the other day, it’s a small world” filled her post with affection and laughter. One fan even commented, “I like your videos before I even watch them.”

Alongside showcasing her turkey shopping process, Yisle invited her followers to share their Thanksgiving traditions: “Tell me, do you make turkey at your house? Give me ideas, of course, I’ll share mine.” And, as always, she closed her video with her trademark charisma: “This body doesn’t run on prayers, sweetie, I’m going to make lunch.”

The Holiday Rush

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, Yisle’s message is clear: it’s best to get your turkey early, and do it with a sense of humor, even if the supermarket bills are anything but funny.
