I have the same problem with bread and that's the thing I always ask someone else to bring. <br /><br />When my great grandmother was 99 (she lived to 104) she cooked a big dinner for everyone. Lots of folks were cranky that day and it made her mad that she'd cooked all day for a house full of grumps so after the turkey was done she stuck 4 firecrackers inside of it. <br />When it was time to carve it everyone was sitting at the table and she managed to light the firecrackers without anyone noticing. <br />Those things went off and that turkey exploded all over everyone at the table. <br />When the screaming stopped she told everyone they could go home and fix their own damn food. <br />Then she took all of us kids out back and fed us dessert. The grownups got nothing. <br />Best Thanksgiving I've ever had!Sandcastle Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909850898687059507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427017606136667147.post-48536840955267650632010-11-25T06:48:57.785-08:002010-11-25T06:48:57.785-08:00Happy Thanksgiving!

Doing these things in this order will have you "happy" and the angry mob will be so "happy" they won't notice you overcooked the turkey, burnt the bread and forgot the jelly cranberry sause!!! After all, it has been said that Wine is God's proof he wants all to be HAPPY! Happy Thanksgiving From Charming Cousin's Girlfriend....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
