When I first got married, the very first turkey I prepared, instead of baking it at 325 degrees, it was on pre-heat ALL day... we finally ate dinner at 9:00 PM. The second turkey I prepared the next year I made sure it was on bake, but this time I used a meat thermometer, and not a metal one. You know the kind, the one with the red fluid in it? Well, the thermometer burst and the red fluid was inside the turkey. I was so scared that I was going to poison my family that I called Poison Control. They told me just to "cut out the red meat" ... later I found out it actually was only vegetable dye .... we really had a good laugh over this. My kids still tell the story 20 years later.

One year we were all enjoying appetizers, talking, having fun. Then my mother in law (at the time) went to get the turkey out of the oven. She'd been slaving over the other foods all day...she forgot to put the turkey in the oven!!!
So we ordered 5 pizzas from the only place in town open on T-day. My brother in law's girlfriend and I went to pick them up and we had a girl-talk about birth control pills and having pizza for T-day. When we got back to the house we couldn't stop giggling and my mother in law didn't know why!

My mother is a devout catholic. One year I purchased a 120 oz bottle of some kind of Belgian beer. My brother , father, and myself, killed the bottle. None of us are big drinkers. We three were tore slam up. The priest from the church didn't seem to pleased in this. My father was telling some of his old Navy stories in the Navy way( if you know what I mean ). My brother was falling asleep at the table, and of course I was the one to throw up everywhere. The priest left and he hasn't been back since. Although there has been numerous invitations. I guess thats why you should stick to water at the Thanksgiving table.

One year I made kitty litter cake for dessert. I didn't tell anyone what I was bringing. I went out to my van and put the cake on the counter while everyone was eating.
My nephew walked into the kitchen, seen the litter pan and yelled, "What the....". My husband said, "oh great, you brought the dessert in." He grabbed a shaped tootsie roll and ate it. People turned green and started gagging.
Only a few people were willing to eat the cake. They did enjoy it. Watching their reactions was pure enjoyment!!!

Could I get back to you Friday? With my guest list I'm sure that it will either be funny, or a complete disaster.

my aunt was making cheesey potatoes and the dish exploded in the oven. the cheesey potatoes is everyone's favorite part. the dish wasn't supposed to explode. it was supposed to be able take that kind of eat. but it exploded anyway. so we lost our cheesey potatoes that year because the pan exploded in the oven.
