We have an under mount sink in the kitchen. 5 gallon bucket in sink lined with a food safe bag filled with brine water. In goes the turkey. Down goes the sink. Can't finish the dishwasher cycle and all food prep has come to a hault while they deal with the sink. You win!

I am known for my desserts. I tried a brand new cake today from Pinterest. Needless to say it tasted delicious but completely crumbled. My best friend memed it on Facebook as a Pinterest fail

I was the first one awake and was trying to finish the last minute cooking before the baby woke up. I am short, and needed a box of cereal for casserole topping, which was in a high cabinet. I was too lazy to go in the other room and get a stool. So my dumb butt decided to try to knock the box down with a really long baguette (still wrapped) that was nearby. I felt silly swiping at my cabinet with a loaf of bread.. but it worked. I also accidentally knocked a bunch of cans down, one of which shattered a plate and then rolled off and landed on my toe. Our dog started barking like there were home invaders. And of course all of the commotion woke the baby. Next time I'm just gonna go get the step stool.

The giblet gravy did not thicken. Also someone (Maxthebeagle) peed on my bed. I had to sequester him in there for 3-4 ten minute intervals while people were coming in the door with armloads of food. I do this so he will not opportunistically escape, instead he vindictively Peed. And he ended up escaping at one point anyway!

We had plans, like every year, to travel north 2 hours for Thanksgiving. It's potluck style, this year I prepared about 70 stuffed mushrooms (big family), 1 pie, and some rolls. I came down with the cold from hell at the last minute, and we had to stay home. So for thanksgiving dinner, guess what we had! Lol. Luckily my husband and kids didn't mind!

Is blackened cheesecake a thing? LOL Perfect, no crack cheese cake, except the top was BLACK. I cut the blackened parts off, dabbed the sour cream topping on, and sprinkled on the chopped pecans liberally, to distract from the crumbs caused by removing the smooth, black top. It looked fine, and tasted great. Whew!

The turkey turned out terrible. My dad bought the wrong kind. So, I wasn't surprised. The others seemed to like it though. I ended up tossing mine in the dog's bowl.
The biggest disaster is my big dog stole the turkey neck from the trash. Ate the darned thing whole. It was cooked. I've googled. Now we are waiting to see if it comes out the other end ok. I'm scared to death it's going to create a blockage. But, others feed their dogs turkey necks (usually raw) all the time. As long as she keeps going #2, all will be well.

My mother in law decided to bake an apple pie. No biggie. Except she made it without any sugar, and used no fat whatsoever in the crust. My husband tells me it was the grossest thing he ate yesterday (I hate normal apple pie on a good day).

My mother always orders the turkey from Whole Foods. This year she ordered a fresh turkey (not frozen) and specified that she'd pick it up at 2:00 pm on Thanksgiving day giving her time to put it in the oven and cook it, to have it ready for the family for dinner. She sends my father to pick it up from Whole Foods. He comes home with a frozen turkey. She says, "Do you know how long it takes to thaw that out? Two days!" She already had all the sides planned and most of them ready and cooked. What to do? Whole Foods is now closed and so is almost every other single store.
In desperation my parents decide to order duck from a Chinese Restaurant 40 minutes away. They ordered it and my father had already left to pick it up before I found out any of this. I would have said, "just put it in the fridge and we'll have it in two days", but it was Thanksgiving and they wanted to save the holiday. It was a great meal even without the turkey because really family is what Thanksgiving is about.

BTW-even though I am a vegan when my mother makes a special meal I will eat meat. I think it would be very rude for me to show up with a tofurkey on Thanksgiving when my 75 year old mother has spent time in the kitchen making a holiday meal. On those special days I take a special enzyme supplement that allows me to digest the meat without painful consequences.
