Popular Post tybeegb Posted November 23, 2017 Popular Post Share #1 Posted November 23, 2017 Oven pre-heat started 30 minutes too early. Turkey not even ready to go in yet. Turned it off. Checked the oven. Cookie/cupcake/pancake pans in it. Took those out. The cooler with the turkey and brine in it weights more than I can pick up. WofTy helped. Turned the oven back on to pre-heat as she gets it ready. Convection takes about 10 minutes. Got the turkey ready. Opened the oven. Lots of smoke. WofTy remarks "I really need to clean that. Let me get something", as the smoke pours out of it. Not happening. Turn the exhaust fan on and open the back door. Smoke detector starts going off. "Need to remove that top shelf in the oven", she says. Why didn't she tell me that when I took the other stuff out? And we've only just begun. All I can really do is open the can of cranberry sauce. I will be drinking by 10:00AM. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted November 23, 2017 Popular Post Share #4 Posted November 23, 2017 Rejoice and be glad. My wife one year had broken up bread for stuffing the night before. She didn’t want to leave it sit out all night so she stuck it in the oven (it was in a large Tupperware bowl). Thanksgiving morning she turned on the oven to preheat for the turkey. By the time we smelled plastic burning we had a mess. We still had a great Thanksgiving. Roll with the punches and be thankful for all you have. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

team scooter Posted November 23, 2017 Share #6 Posted November 23, 2017 The Mrs has started the day. I hear pots banging, cabinet doors slamming and a little cussing under her breath. If I were foolish enough to ask if there was anything I can do to help, she would slowly turn and give me the same look my MIL would give anyone who would dare walk through her kitchen on the holidays. "You can clean up the doggie pooh outside, and take your dogs with you!" The doggies and I are holed up in the bedroom for a while. At least until the guests start arriving. Thanks Happy Giving everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tybeegb Posted November 23, 2017 Author Popular Post Share #9 Posted November 23, 2017 About the cranberry sauce. According to her I was supposed to get it from the store, but she is the one who made the list up and did the grocery shopping. So, I got to exercise Elvis and drive to the IGA to get not just one but two cans; berry and jam. Then, before I got back to the house she calls me. "Did you get the cranberry sauce? Okay, well I thought I had enough eggs but can you get a dozen more?" Sure. Back to the IGA for the eggs. I made it until 10:10am before opening the first PBR. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted November 23, 2017 Share #12 Posted November 23, 2017 I bought fresh cranberries to make cranberry sauce and was going to make it last night. My wife got home from work and said that her sister in law had cranberry sauce. I’ll bet hers is canned? I think I’ll make mine for leftovers.

That sorry excuse won't get you off the hook, and very little sympathy either. It's still your fault - you should have figured this out on your own; it's not your wife's responsibility to tell you something she believes you should know already. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post groupw Posted November 24, 2017 Popular Post Share #15 Posted November 24, 2017 My Turkey Day run was 15 minutes away as opposed to 1 hour away in years past. Previously, I had asked WoW to start the oil when I started for home after the run. This year, with the short drive home and warmer temps, I decided to wait until I got home to start it. As I was about to drive home, I get a text to pick up some pie filling and ice. No grocery stores on the way home. Started the oil and drive then went to the store. It was warm enough outside that the oil was already up to temp by the time I got back. WoW thought I was putting the turkey in too early. I assured her with cook time and rest time, it would be about right. WoW is not quiet in the kitchen. I started the turkey, grabbed a lawn chair and sat in the sun listening to Arlo Guthrie. We let Mom carve the turkey. She pronounced it perfect! It was moist and falling off the bone. WoW did a great job in the kitchen on most of the other fixins! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
