Well, my worst is fried turkey — to avoid boring those who already know this shameful incident in my life this will be a brief piece of advice. Never stuff a turkey before deep frying. You will hear a rumble that sounds ominous like thunder approaching… then this innocent bird turns into a large caliber weapon. That’s right a turkey bazooka that shoots stuffing everywhere.

I also "painted the town red" on my first raspberry jam attempt. Exploding jars of goo. Seeds for days (actually years — they kept turning up) and ants for months! Now after filling jam jars I put a towel overthem while they cool.
