So easy!!!
A couple of years ago I made a long-distance trip to spend Thanksgiving with my family and it turned out that I had to get the meal together. Not really a mishap, but we ate pretty late that day!
Forgetting to turn on the oven when we put the turkey in.
I think the biggest mishap was totally undercooking a turkey….so frustrating.
We’ve tried to make cookie bowls…they type on pinterest where you cook the dough on the back of a cupcake tin….not so much. Mess everywhere.
the mishap we had was over fry the fried turkey once but now we have it down pat
