There were 12 people coming for Xmas dinner so after mega preparation over the weeks before everything seemed to be running to plan. I went to bed on Xmas safe in the knowledge that the oven was set to come on during the night to cook the rather large turkey needed to feed the hoards. I woke up about 5 am and i could hear the whir of the oven( the bedroom door had been left open for this purpose) so i went back to sleep contented all was ok.
I got up about 7.30am and went to the cooker to check how all was progressing (as ya do).
I opened the oven door and donned in oven gloves i gingerly lifted out the aforesaid turkey. Removing the oven gloves i gently lifted the foil of the bird with my finger tips. It was at this time i happened to hit the foil with the back of my hand and i jumped back and sucked in my breath (as ya do) only to realise i wasnt burnt or even sore.
Enter panic stations and mega hyperventilation.
I had carefully prepared the turkey and placed in the oven set the timer ( i should have known t was all going to easy). My only fault being i had placed the turkey in the bottom oven and had been ever so careful in setting the top one.
Aw well it all ended ok. The turkey was cooked fine in time for lunch and i only needed the valium until early afternoon. :lol: :lol:
