Can you believe it? Lunch is already done. The evil MIL needed to get home before dark. This meant that I was up at 5:30 a.m. to start the bird.
Speaking of white trash… the local TV station where my mother lives had a Happy Thanksgiving message it played during commercials.
All you saw on the screen was a glass bowl. You could hear a can opener running, and then suddenly a maroon lump of jellied cranberry sauce plopped in the bowl, followed by, “Happy Thanksgiving” on the screen.
I about died.
