...With so many holidays coming up on the calendar, I'm reminded of some "holiday disasters" that are now a story that everyone laughs about. One year I spent hours preparing a very elaborate chocolate cake for a holiday meal. Our dog ate most of it, which we didn't know until I went to get it from the picnic table where it was placed to cool. The dog was miserable, but survived. the chocolate overdose. The cake was a total loss. It's funny now, but then? Not so much.
Have you a holiday mishap that everyone laughs about now?

I once had a New Year's party that I didn't see.
My friend and I spent the entire evening in the kitchen making grog and fondue .... apparently the party was a hit!

A neighbour of mine was abandoned by his wife who had run off with his workmate, she also left their 4 kids, I invited them out with us for the day at the beach and to have a picnic, I decided to try and make it special, did all the usuals,chicken salads etc, but decided to make a salmon mousse in a huge fish mould, took me all the previous day to finish, paper thin cucumber slices to resemble fishscales, it was truly a masterpiece, I was so proud of myself, we got to the beach set a beautiful table and went down to see how cold the water was, we turned to go back for our lunch to see a red setter finishing off the mousse and licking his lips, we bought hamburgers.

In my cigarette smoking days I was making a big pot of home-made applesauce. My husband then was from a huge family and they were all coming over for Thanksgiving dinner. Some of my cigarette ashes fell into the mix ... I just stirred in it and never said a word to anyone! HAH!
