Turkey day is for family and friends giving thanks for what they have....and since it's centered around a meal...there's always been a few disastrous dishes that may have made it to the table...or the trash. (like a tofurkey).
For my husband...when he and his brother were teens, their mom fell asleep while cooking the Turkey, and it burnt to a crisp...smoke filled the house. No fire thankfully...but I think that year they had burgers.
One of my girlfriends....who shall remain nameless...cooked her very first dinner...and it wound up being "hooked on plastic". Forgot to pull out the giblets and stuff....nice plastic flavor for the bird, mistakenly made a graham cracker crust on top of a plastic pie top inserted in the disposable aluminum pie plate. Thankfully...it was a Cream pie...and didn't need to be baked. I could go on...but I think I've rubbed it in enough.
For me....it took me awhile to figure out how full to fill my apple pie. I followed the recipe...but always managed to have that sticky, velcro-like substance called apple pie juice dripping on the bottom of my oven or on the cookie sheet...causing that ever so popular smoke and "isn't something burning?" comment from my family.
There's gotta be some good stories....let's hear 'em!
Happy T-Day!

Oh yeah! I forgot one! It's called the homemade gravy that's perfect for spackle...or as mortar for your brick walls! Or the homemade date nut bread that's so dry it takes 3 gallons of milk to wash down one piece! (I think that was the prototype for the Christmas fruitcake!)

How about leaving the plastic protector over the bone of a ham while baking. The only disasterous thing for me is i over do the desserts and if one is a frozen pie and gets left out...soup pie. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!
