Do you think she'll have time to read all those answers? I saw 1,350. Why don't you say here what your disaster was, I'll read it! And no, I don't dislike Martha, she is fine with me.

I've wanted to answer a question of yours and then this. I cannot believe I'm answering this. Ahhhhh!
We had 25 people over for dinner, and everthing was on the table and my ex goes, I forgot to make the gravy, it will take a minute. 20 minutes later, being young and not wise enough, I was embarassed, everything was cold, we have burned gravy.
But you know what, disasters make life fun. I mean, who remembers the perfect dinners. Later in life, we enjoy the disasters the best. We do not laugh about perfection, not do we even remember it.
So I'd suggest, before Thanksgiving is here, if you want to create memories, plan to create a heck of a disaster, and never admit it.

No where near as many as she would be doing if she was still incarcerated. I'm sure everyone would want a tossed salad by Martha. And her dessert of Wild Turkey and nose candy flambe!

I'm guessing she hired someone else to read all the responses. I personally have never had a Thanksgiving disaster. I am however cooking the dinner for the first time this year...so we'll see.

While in college, my husband and I invited about a dozen friends over for an evening Thanksgiving dinner. Early in the morning, a friend called and said that her boyfriend (a mutual friend of ours) was threatening to kill himself. We didn't think he was really serious, but she wanted me to come over and help talk to him. I worked for a crisis hotline as a volunteer. We didn't want to leave our guests out in the cold for Thanksgiving and our friend didn't want us to tell them about a very personal situation, so we decided to go ahead with Thanksgiving. My husband stayed home and I called him periodically to tell him how to cook a turkey, etc. After several hours of talking to a stubborn and depressed friend, he was finally feeling better. Then, I had to go home, clean house and help set up for dinner. When our guests arrived, we made up a story about why this couple was not coming to dinner. Unfortuntely, everyone kept asking about them, so we had to keep embellishing the story. My husband did a good job of cooking his first turkey, but just before dinner he was sitting in a chair trying to open a jar of homemade pickles. It didn't want to open, so he gave it a karate chop on the top of the jar. Well, the bottom of the jar fell out and he got a lap full of pickles and brine. After dinner one of our female guests, who was the director of the hotline where we volunteered, got very drunk on starawberry daiquiri's. She fell off the sofa and was pretty much of an embarassment to everyone. In the end, we had a good time but really had to work at it. Most of the problems we couldn't have prevented, but my husband never opened a jar of pickles with a karate chop again.

My great grandma got smashed and fell asleep on the turkey. We don't let it sit infront of her anymore, she drools a bit when she sleeps...

I was going to tell her it was that time I was in the can with this dopey decorator embezzler person. But I'm not a nasty person.
