Good morning 11/29

I know that my dining room table would not collapse with an obese person sitting on it.

That would be a terrible catastrophe. This never happened to us, but it happened to a friend of us. She was bringing the food from the kitchen to the dining room using a rolling buffet cart. A leg of the cart broke and several dishes fell on the floor, not everything at least.

Oh, no. I’d feel so sick to my stomach. I don’t think my family ever had a Thanksgiving catastrophe, thankfully.

I do recall one huge Thanksgiving mess. My sister and I were at my Aunt's house in St. Louis. She was a great cook, the house was full of great food smells, it was nearly time to eat. The kitchen had a wall oven. The turkey was huge, my uncle had been the one to actually put it in the oven but he never cooked anything, so he was in the living room with his football game. Aunt called to him to come and get the turkey out of the oven, so he did...and for some reason he pulled it out and set it on the open door of the oven! It snapped from the weight, the turkey and all of it's drippings and gravy hit the kitchen floor. It was a huge, huge mess!

Not a Thanksgiving Day food catastrophe but you've inspired me to write a post about another holiday food catastrophe
