Who is bringing turkey?

The turkey’s partially raw

Is turkey always pink?

Stuffing?!?!?, where's the dressing?

&

Potatoes?!?!?!, where's the rice?

Poodle ate the dessert.

Haha yayagal, we had that happen once where the dog (a new stray who adopted us) took big gulps out of the middle of each of gramma's pies...Dad threw the dog out of house...I thought it was real nice of him to open the door first. :)

The deep-fryer tipped over!

-----

One year while visiting my brother for Thanksgiving, I took a walk around his neighborhood after we finished our early afternoon feast. A neighbor several houses down was working with a large propane-fired deep-fryer in their driveway as I walked past. Fifteen minutes later as I was coming back to my brother's house I passed the same neighbor, and this time the deep-fryer was tipped over, the turkey was on the grass next to the driveway, surrounded by a flaming pool of hot oil.

Turkey's still not done.

----

A friend from college invited the two of us over, and although there was only going to be 5 people at dinner, my friend really liked leftovers, so he had bought a 24 lb turkey. I think the plan was for an approx. 5 PM dinner, but the turkey wasn't done, and still wasn't done, and still wasn't done (perhaps because he kept opening the oven to check whether it was done) In the end I think we started dinner at around 9:30 P.M.

Bob, either that turkey was still frozen or the oven wasn't working. No way it should have taken that long if the oven was set to 400 degrees. I've bought 14 pounders that were done in a little over an hour.

We invited your mom.

Who wants "Rare" Turkey?

I'm fresh out of inspiration, I fear, while laughing heartily after viewing such a variety of great messages.

I was thinking that it would be sorta fun to add a question mark after some of them.

ole joyful

I hate her cooking

Spoken by the cook:

"Anyone seen my teeth?"

Why are 'they' here?

My cousin is coming.

Spoken by a Mr. Bean-type cook: "I lost my watch!"

Where's the pumpkin pie?

Kids eat in kitchen.

That's not homemade gravy.

Table's not big enough.

We need more chairs.

Women wash the dishes.

Call the Fire Department!

Can turkey be microwaved?

One year, at the new house of a friend who hadn't really figured out what each of the controls on her oven actually did. Instead of the timer, she used timed cooking, so the over went off at a certain point. When she realized the error and turned it back on, something caught fire. Smoked, partially raw turkey. Ugh.

Another true one!.... x son in laws father said he didn’t need a whole turkey so he cut the frozen whole one in half with his chain saw.

The neighbor invited us. ( She was a horrible cook) :)

Your house this year.

Dog ate the turkey.

One year got invited to a friend's home...first thing her brother said was, "I thought it was just going to be us"..(I know too many words). I've never accepted another invite because of that.

Meeting my son's future in-laws.

We'll bring the turkey!

In laws pulled that stunt one year. I have full meal planned for the holiday four immediate family. In laws decided they were coming to our house. They were already cooking turkey for their side so wanted to bring other half for us. Fine. They didn't show up until four or five hours after they said they would. I didn't bother cooking the mashed potatoes, etc. I had a veggie tray made up and probably dessert. I fed the kids grilled cheese sandwiches and let dh deal with his family.

hahaha mimi! I can see DH doing that, but with his sawz-all! He's an engineer and it's all about getting the job done!

Women in the kitchen. Of course. :(

"The oven won't unlock!"

True story. My first time hosting, the oven went into self-clean mode while the turkey was inside.

The propane tank's empty!

While visiting family on Block Island a few years back, their house's propane tank ran out in the middle of cooking for Thanksgiving, and the only place that could fill it was closed for the holiday. Fortunately the smaller tank for the outdoor grill wasn't empty and my BIL figured out how to connect it to finish cooking.

Elmer will be there.

"Running two hours late"

"No, we just ate"

...said in that order by in-laws...

I've sure enjoyed reading these - thanks for all the laughs!

Ran out of food!

Eeew, that’s a hair!

You only made breast????

(Seriously, the dark meat is the edible part.)

We need canned gravy...

(ex sister in law who didn't want to try Mom's homemade gravy delight, but wanted that starchy tasteless white canned stuff.)

We're staying home

Boa got out again.

these are great- thank you for the chuckles. I think the winner though has to be the first post.

Where is the turkey?

Wait, It's this week?
