Comments on: It’s Not Thanksgiving Unless the Fan Ends Up in the Window Sucking Smoke out of the House http://www.bloggingawaydebt.com/2006/11/its-not-thanksgiving-unless-the-fan-ends-up-in-the-window-sucking-smoke-out-of-the-house/ Our Journey to a Debt-Free Life Sat, 20 Mar 2010 16:02:56 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Mandi http://www.bloggingawaydebt.com/2006/11/its-not-thanksgiving-unless-the-fan-ends-up-in-the-window-sucking-smoke-out-of-the-house/comment-page-1/#comment-4020 Mandi Wed, 29 Nov 2006 04:01:30 +0000 http://www.bloggingawaydebt.com/2006/11/its-not-thanksgiving-unless-the-fan-ends-up-in-the-window-sucking-smoke-out-of-the-house/#comment-4020 My mishap is intentional, but derived from an accident. The first time I even made a turkey I put it in upside down. It ended up being the most juicy tender breasted turkey we'd ever had. So I roast mine upside down on purpose now. My MIL has a Nesco 18 Quart Roaster Oven. We put an 18-20 pound turkey in at 9:00am and it normally is finished by 12:00pm. It leaves the oven open for other baking all day. As for the initial cost, I really don't know, but we do use it about twice a month and we are also able to bake it in. One year we had hot dogs for my sons birthday party, I just put the hot dogs in water in the Roaster and the rest was history. My mishap is intentional, but derived from an accident.

LOL. Jen - I wish I saw that Julia childs show. That would have been great. That menu tip is a good one too! ;) Sheri – I guess these mishaps make the dinner more exciting, right ? LOL.

The first was from the Julia childs TV show. She was doing an episode on the Thanksgiving meal, and during filiming she dropped the turkey while taking it out of the oven. Julia put the turkey back in the roasting pan, and then turned to the camera and said, "Your guests will never know." The second is from an NPR show several years ago about Thanksgiving meal tips. One tip was never tell your guests what is on the menu. The example the person used was a blueberry pie. While taking it out of the oven if you drop it, it can then become blueberry cobbler... but that works best if your guests never knew blueberry pie was on the menu ;) Anyway, glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

I was trying to transfer the graham cracker crust for my pumpkin cheese cake pie to another pie plate when it crumbled to pieces! I had to go to the store and buy another one as the crumbled one was beyond repair. The pie was served in the tin pan! Not very decorative but tasted fine. I had a minor mishap myself.

Just avoid those turkey fryers:-) Seems they tend to cause fires, even among experienced users. Happy Thanksgiving.
