You basically liked your own comment. Great puns are great. Yours... not so much. :)

Why would you want things to heat up with your family? This is thanksgiving dinner, not a porn video. (and no, you aren't)

You're really good at making bad plays-on-words.

I asked my husband to check it periodically for me; since I had a whole bunch of other dishes to make and prep-- he told me he'd been checking it and it was doing sooooo good. Turns out he's lazy.

Well I guess that's the last time you trust him with checking on your cooking.

That seems to be an easier mistake to make than not noticing the oven's off with a raw turkey inside until it's time to eat, since turkeys take much longer to thaw than people would think: 1 day per 4 pounds inside the refrigerator.

Fair point. And she did learn something from the experience. We still joke about it almost every year, and she laughs along because she knows she was a dork.
