Freaky Foodie Friday Trainwrecks! 
I've had many a 'trainwrecks' in the past years..but I must say the earliest and most memorable one happened in 1971 with my Mom in the hospital I was delegated to cook Thanksgiving Dinner! MY first one, mind you, and no one giving me much instruction. Being the dutiful daughter I read up on getting the turkey ready, making stuffing and all the trimmings. I had all the side dishes prepared and ready to go on the table. Just waiting for that little 'pop-up' doohickey to pop up on the turkey signifying it was done. Waited and waited..finally my Dad said just to take the $%^& bird out of the oven. As it turned out, I had taken the packet of giblets out of the turkey but on one had mentioned the frozen neck in the neck cavity! (Which will delay the po-up timer) All in all it turned out to be a somewhat delicious meal, and one which I was reminded of by my brother and Dad for almost EVERY Thanksgiving afterwards!!
