Rolling down

oh man, that's funny

I know this is an old thread but it reminded me of my sister's nightmare Thanksgiving. She is cheap and refused to buy a good roaster pan. She buys those cheap aluminum jobs and then puts a 25 lb turkey in it. So she goes to pull it out, juice spills over the side which must of had a lot of oil in it. The juice drops through a crack and hits the pilot light. POOF! She lost her eyebrows and eyelashes. She is darn lucky she didn't get seriously injured. She laughed about it later of course and then purchased a turkey roaster.

There are so many turkey disasters. Homes have been burned down from trying to cook a turkey in an overfilled propane deep fryer on a wooden deck. It makes me wonder if people in other countries laugh at Americans and their craxy turkey fetish at Thanksgiving. We think other people are crazy - every year horrible things happen at events like the Running of the Bulls in Barceloa, the Carnival in Rio, pilgrimages to Mecca, and so on. We Americans may be just as laughable!

Next year I'm trying my homemade napalm flamethrower to brown the outside to perfection. What could go wrong?
