tvashtarkatena Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 So...we were about to put our 19 lb bird (smallest we could find the night before) in the oven, with T minus 5 hours to go until our 2 guests arrived, when... Discovery: "Hey, is this frozen?" Denial: "No. Couldn't be. It was fresh when we bought it...wasn't it?" Anger: "SHIT. How could it be frozen? You put it in the fridge, not the freezer, right?" Bargaining: "Maybe we can microwave it." Depression: "One of us might have go to QFC to get a roast or something" Acceptance: "I'll go, you clean the house." Things coulda been worse. My brother's turkey caught fire. It had to be put out with a fire extinguisher. Then there was the year the dog dragged the turkey off the counter and ate the ass end off of it....

Sherri Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 Our puppy did a face plant in the dip bowl of the veggie platter we put on the coffee table. Unfortunately, our guests saw it happen so we had a to dump it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selkirk Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Happened to us too, morning of Thanksgiving and we're sending out the hunting party looking for Turkey breasts And of course it wouldn't be Thanksgiving is someone didn't get sick: Tally to date: 1 case of stomach flu, 2 cases of regular flu, 1 bad cold Aww the joys of plague bearers (i.e. toddlers). I'm sure there will be more in the coming days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvashtarkatena Posted November 28, 2011 Author Share Posted November 28, 2011 How many pounds was the puppy? You probably coulda served it up before the bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
