Hey, why don’t they tell you to look in BOTH ends of the frozenturkey before you cook it (or do they, and I just ignoredit???!!!)? Ha!

Because I nearly cooked a plastic bag full of giblets(eeeuuuwwwww!!!) the last time I attempted to cook a turkey for theholidays. Therefore, that was the last time I ever attempted such athing. TEEHEE!

Thank goodness, my mother-in-law was there as I got ready to putthe turkey into the oven, and she happened to check inside the birdand found the bag. Disaster averted.

But I remember one year when we couldn’t avoid disaster. Thatwas the year when the oven’s pilot light blew out and Mom couldn’trelight it – and we couldn’t think of anyone to call for help. So,she pulled out the electric skillet. Oh, yes, I said ELECTRICSKILLET. And that’s where she cooked our Thanksgiving turkey. Yeah.Not so good. Ha!

So, what’s YOUR biggest turkey-cooking/Thanksgiving Day mealdisaster (or near-disaster)????
