My First Hosting of Thanksgiving!!!!




Has anyone heard of an oven catching fire while the turkey cooks inside??? Yeah, MiNe DiD!!! The turkey had been in for about 2 hours and all of the sudden we here a loud noise from the oven and a burst of a flame......Frantically we called out for Tony( my firefighter brother in-law) and Aaron cuz we are girls what do we know........Well of course as soon as they run up from the basement where the football marathon was being held most of the flames had died down and upon further investigation we discovered that is was the coil inside! So what did we do you ask? Well, we called our neighbors ( Aaron and Jacque ) who were smart and were eating at their parents house!!! Anyhoo, they let us barrow their oven for the turkey, rolls and stuffing....So all was well....So I guess I couldn't expect things to be uneventful....I mean its me we are talking about!!! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!!!
(Note- the images above are reenactments of the actual event...with the help of Aaron's imagination and a fog machine:)

oohh yeah, I agree with Mindy, if someone had toasted their kitchen cooking turkey, and then asked to use my kitchen, I woulda said, "Over My Dead Body!!!!" hahah
That is seriously funny though, ahhhh the joy of creating forever memories... and burnt kitchens!!
