Jimmy Fallon invited people to share weird Thanksgiving Fails in his Hashtags segment, and the experiences of others serve to remind us just how memorable ‘imperfect’ dinners and zany relatives are. In fact, just stop striving for perfection. You’ll be less stressed when you’re wearing your ‘turkey trousers’ – just don’t stand up and sneeze! This advice- and other oddities will soon make sense to you.
If I may offer one cooking suggestion. The thumbnail photo bears witness to the wisdom of sticking to the tried and true when it comes to cooking. I’m certain someone told this cook that you haven’t lived until you’ve deep fried a turkey!
My other tried and true advice is to say ‘yes’ when people ask if they can bring something. Done correctly, you can slide by with only a turkey to cook, and everyone feels good having contributed their best dish to the feast…Yes, I’m always thinking of others.
