Nope. My mom insisted on cooking and it just went from bad to worse. She doesn’t like to use seasoning because she ‘still wants to taste the turkey’ and tried to rip the salt and pepper out of my hands when I tried to season the bird behind her back. She shoved that bird with no butter or oil into an oven bag, but not before shoving a handful of prunes into the cavity. It was a small bird (maybe 10 pounds) and at 350 degrees it was way overcooked when she pulled it after two hours of cooking. The thing hadn’t browned at all in the bag so it was this unappetizing pale color and dry as hell. She also served pre-made frozen mashed potatoes, jarred gravy, and canned creamed corn. I did what I could with the stuffing and green beans but overall that meal was just sad. And before you ask why I or my boyfriend didn’t help, she insisted that she knows what she was doing and refused to listen to any advice or accept any kind of help. I had to strong-arm her into letting me at least taste and season some of the side dishes." —just_justine93
