Christmas Disasters.

[rhubarb]

Post yours here.

Ours: We decided not to risk the year old turkey from the freezer. Bought a fresh one and put it in the fridge.
Took it out this morning and it's half frozen! Must have been touching the back of the fridge which is always thick with ice.
Bugger.
So, vegetarian dinner today then :-)

Happy christmas.

Got my massive leg of pork out on wednesday to defrost, saw the missus off to work yesterday and got my calculator out. 2.59kg at 70 mins per kg plus 35 mins for good luck

great, goes in the oven in three hours.

jush better check me calculation, like all good developers do.

HOLY BAT sh1t man

its £2.59 per kg
actual weight is 4.29 kg

it has to go into the oven half an hour ago.

I know, turn the oven temperature up ten degrees - brilliant


by the time the smoke had cleared, the missus arrived home from work and she has informed me that we are having a steak and kindney pie next year and she is cooking it

I broke the fan oven dial on the cooking range yesterday (Dropped a glass shelf on it and snapped it off).

Had to strip the range down, nick the dail from the grill and put it in place of the oven switch.

and all before the missus got home from work.

Told her what happened, and that Christmas dinner was nearly a disaster.

HER = Er! it's a range, there are two ovens and I only ever use the one, you could have left it until after Christmas

And my windscreen on the car cracked

Last year the TV packed up

Year before the Fridge Freezer packed up

Year before that The washing machine packed up

All a few days before Christmas

I've just taken the foil off the turkey and it doesn't look cooked enough!

Then I have the other half come down stairs saying, "Is the turkey off? It smells disgusting!"

Oh dear.

I wondered why you were setting off at 6am to pick up the goose.

Did you get it from somewhere near Sellafield/Windscale/Calder Abbey/Seascale*?
