The holiday dinner also sometimes asks the most of those who are the least capable (consider this funny spot involving a turkey fryer and William Shatner). What's been your greatest Thanksgiving triumph or failure?

Dillo-Isnt scoured turkey considered a delicasy....at several local homeless shelters?
A group of friends and I were making Thanksgiving dinner in Berkeley. Of course each one of us had a specific task. The girl who was going to cook the turkey was told that she should wash it out before putting it in the pan and putting the suffing inside. Let's just say she was not the brightest candle in the chandelier - she washed the turkey with a Brillo pad!!!
A couple years ago I was supposed to prepare the turkey. I carefully put together a wonderful brine and all the usual prep work. I purchased a styrofoam cooler to put the turkey in and it fit perfectly. Then, I poured the brine over top. Everything was going according to plan...until I went to put the cooler and hit the corner of it on the shelf of the fridge. The cooler broke in half and I had brine spill out all over the kitchen floor and a big old turkey in the middle of the mess.
That's the last time I prepared a turkey. Now I just let my parents do everything at their hous. I don't even take a side dish anymore!
TRIUMPH-Realizing that a few nice restaurants offer a decent priced Thanksgiving meal that we make a reservation at, eat and go home to a clean house, put a log on the fire and enjoy one another's company instead of de-boning turkey and finding 14 containers for leftovers. (how's that for a run on sentence)
