This was shortly after indoor ovens and light bulbs were invented. I became hysterical and when I tried to rescue the turkey, which was now full of glass shards, I dropped it on the floor. Not to worry - I just picked it up, dug out the glass (hoping I would get it all) and served it. Everyone thought it was one of the best turkeys they had ever had.

Having been warned by family, media and recipe books that turkey seemed to be highly suspectible to causing food poisoning I didn't want to take the turkey out too soon to thaw it. I think I took the bird out of the fridge on Christmas morning! <BR/><BR/>We ran to the neighbours and threw it in their microwave (this was 1982 and they were still a pretty newfangled invention and this microwave was the size of a small garage.) So, in went the bird, on went the oven and while parts of it thawed, parts of it cooked! Finally we just took it out and stuck it in a pan on the counter. Dinner was at 11 PM Christmas Eve!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-29158960719050376642007-11-24T19:56:00.000-06:002007-11-24T19:56:00.000-06:00melody ~ You commented while I was writing this, I...melody ~ You commented while I was writing this, I think.

Everybody brought their specialty, so no one had to work too hard. The guys fixed the turkey outside in a propane turkey fryer. However Friday wasn't so great. The septic tank backed up in the basement from all the extra people taking showers. Two plumbers and a lot of hassle later, everything is back to normal. And I too am grateful to be back in my own house. (Not nearly so grateful as Dad is to have his house to himself again!)Melody Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00442985285647041700noreply@blogger.com
