[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 392238, member: 3444"] Ours went fine, mostly. Except the power went out in the neighborhood about 30 minutes before the bird was done and just as my mom had set pots of water to boil for various things... and she has an ELECTRIC stove! Fortunately it went back on about 20 minutes later. But about 1/3 of the people coming to her house today were an hour or more late for the previously announced serving time for dinner. At first, my mom told the kids to go ahead and eat, but husband and my mom's younger brother decided that meant THEM too! Mom and her sister in law and I were going to wait for the other guests to arrive. But after waiting an hour, we all decided we'd warm up the food and go ahead and start without them. Some people in our family are notoriously tardy and we've learned not to worry about it too much. I guess we just thought they were closer to getting there than they really were. [/QUOTE]
