My turkey triumph - One year, I forgot we didnt have an oven at the old home place so I had to throw the turkey into the microwave. Thankfully, the microwave was large (ha, last week, after daily use, it died after 35 years! Well, it didnt die, the door latch broke.). It was the best turkey and the family still talks about it.
My turkey disaster - Not a disaster but a had to be there funny. One year I searched and searched the turkey looking for the packet of giblets. Everyone was laughing at me throwing a fit because it just wasn't to be found. We wuz robbed! No giblet gravy! Of course, when I was carving it at the table, guess what falls out. Every year now someone has be ask if I found the giblets.
That made me laugh!
