If it smells like farts.....
Sooo, as I go down to the basement get some food out of the freezer last night...what do I stumble upon?
A bag with our Christmas dinner.... 2 turkeys & a large ham.... sitting BESIDE the freezer... completely thawed...
When Bjørn arrived home, I asked if he had taken the stuff out of the freezer? Hmm? NO... Oh, maybe he had on Saturday night.... But it was probably still OK... (I could see him calculating how much the 2 birds & pig had cost him...about $100...this is crazy expensive Norway remember...& wondering if they could be saved)
I insisted that they would have to be thrown away... yes our unfinished basement is COLD...but not the COLD... hubby did the only logical thing... he called his MOTHER.... during his conversation I hear him repeat the advice his mother gave him...
"if it smells like farts...don't eat it...." (in case you are wondering...NO I do not make this crap up.... MIL & I come from 2 VERY D I F F E R E N T worlds.....)
"if it smells like farts" I heard Bjørn say to himself as he walked back to the kitchen & proceed to SMELL the Turkey.... finally he asked me opinion.... I too gave it a sniff...
"yep, smells like farts to me...."
With a heavy heart & sigh...Bjørn acknowledged that his Christmas dinner was going to have to be thrown away... he then admitted that he wasn't sure it had been in the freezer at all...
NICE...
I doubt I will EVER ...Ever FORGET the method my MIL uses to determin if food is still good...If it smells like farts.... Boy am i glad I will be doing the cooking this year...
"Happy Little Christmas Eve" as they say here in Norway...

Sorry the dinner didn't turn out.
Hope you guys have a great holiday and yes, hope we get the chance to meet next year sometime!!!
Merry Christmas!
So sorry about your turkey! The Ham should be OK though- It takes pig longer to decompose, heatening thought.
Have a Jolly Happy whatever anyway.
Cheers!
That's hilarious! Hope your holiday goes well after this though. ;)
Whatever you guys have for Christmas dinner will be wonderful!
Happy Little Christmas Eve to you!
Merry Christmas
But, I so cannot imagine my mother saying such a thing. My MIL. Well. We come from different worlds, too. And I can totally see her doing that :-)
Merry Christmas! God Jul!
