Turkey Day roundup! The Bryans were all scattered this year, and Craig and I journeyed out to Virginia Beach to spend a few days with Momma Dale and Wes. We had chilly days full of a cozy fire, lots o' food, football games galore (watching, not playing - who do you think we are?), movie and shopping outings, and general family good times. But that "culinary misadventures" leading note? Yeah...
Let's just say that last year's Thanksgiving, hosted at our house, had a couple of...mishaps along the way. The things I was really worried about, like Craig deep-frying a turkey, went off without a hitch. Things I hadn't thought about, like slicing off the end of my thumb with a mandoline and visiting the emergency room and leaving the rest of the Thanksgiving work to the crew at home...yeah, those were the things that happened. So my mishap led to another mishap, which involved a certain Pendarvii placing the turkey thermometer in the oven...when it's made of plastic and has batteries and really isn't intended to go in the oven...resulting in a bit of a molten electronic mess. Oopsie.
You would think everyone had learned their lesson, but I give you...
...molten thermometer, round two, from THIS year's Thanksgiving. We really have to get the Pendarvii to stop doing these things. Here's hoping next year is free of both emergency room visits AND molten thermometers...we're getting better!
