Locked turkey in oven self-clean mode. (Advice: Don’t panic! Reset timer, wait for oven to cool.)

Turkey ready at 10 a.m., guests arriving at 4 p.m. (Carve bird, refrigerate, reheat. Use Polaroid shot of pre-sliced bird for centerpiece.)

Put turkey in tub to thaw; kids jumped in for bubble bath, (If still wrapped, bird’s OK.)

OK to hide surprise engagement ring in stuffing.? (Better to slip it on drumstick to avoid choking fiancee.)
