Thankful It's OVER
My back hurts and I'm sleepy. Today was just loads of fun! I promised my mother-in-law that I'd fix our Thanksgiving dinner. Although I bought a frozen turkey weeks ago, my husband wanted the pre-cooked, smoked turkey from Sam's Club. Okey-dokey. According to the directions, it would only take about 2 hours to warm the bird and our goal was to eat around 5:00 p.m.
At 1:00 p.m., the MIL was saying, "Are you going to start dinner?"
At 1:15 p.m., "Are you cooking?"
At 1:30 p.m., "When are you going to start the turkey?"
At 2:00 p.m., "How long does it take to cook dinner?"
I finally replied, "Velma. I know how to cook. I told you I would fix dinner and I will fix dinner."
She got mad at me. So my oldest daughter and I fixed a beautiful meal. I put it on the table.
Then I waited.
And I waited.
I thought the sweet potatoes looked really good (they were).
Then the kitty tried to join me.
We watched the ice melt together.
And we admired the canned cranberry sauce. Mmmm-good.
My family finally came and enjoyed a nice, cool meal together. I didn't tell them it was because my mother-in-law was right. The turkey was still frozen inside.

Oh NO! Dumb turkey. Well, this will be one of those Thanksgivings you'll remember :)
damn those mil's . lol. At least you'll have a funny thanksgiving story to tell future generations.
Grrr. I hate it when they turn out to be accidently right. I have taken meat back off the plate and finished it in the microwave before. I refer to that time as appetizer time.
Nice cranberry sauce shot though.
