This probably isn't new but it gave me a laugh! :)

THANKSGIVING FORECAST

Turkeys will thaw in the morning, then warm in the oven to an afternoon high newa 190F. The kitchen will turn hot and humid, and if you bother the cook, be ready for a severe sqall or cold shoulder.

During the late afternoon and evening, the cold front of a knife will slice through the turkey, causing an accumulation of one to two inches on plates. Mashed potatoes will drift across one side while cranberry sauce creates slippery spots on teh other. Please pass the gravey.

A weight watch and indigestion warning have been issued for the entire area, with increased stuffiness around the beltway. During the evening, the turkey will dimish and taper off to leftovers, dropping to a low of 34F in the refrigerator.

Looking ahead to Friday and Saturday, high pressure to eat sandwicches will be established. Flurries of leftovers can be expected both days with a 50% chance of scattered soup late in teh day. We expect a warming trend where soup develops. By early next week, eating pressure will be low as the only wish left will be the bone.
 
:D !!!!!!!!! Reminds me of the good, old Christmas Rum Cake recipe:

Christmas Rum Cake

1 or 2 Quarts of Rum
1 Cup Dried Fruit
Brown Sugar
1 Tsp. Soda

1 Cup of Nuts

Before starting, sample rum to check quality. Good, isn't it? Now proceed.

Select large mixing bowl, measuring cup, etc.

Check rum again. It must be just right. To be sure rum is of proper quality, pour one level cup of rum into a glass and drink it as fast as you can.

Repeat.

With electric mixer, beat 1 cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.

Add 1 seaspoon of thusar and beat again.

Meanwhile, make sure rum is still alrighty. Try another cup. Open second quart if necessary.

Add leggs, 2 cups of fried druit and beat til high. If druit gets stuck in beaters, pry loose with drewscriber.

Sample rum again, checking for tonscisticity.

Lori - I had lost my rum cake, recipe thanks for helping me find it! I have been making up my own recipe, though, and usually had excellent results.
