“Right!” Alice hopped up and scratched her hair as she made her way into the kitchen. “We can follow Lenore’s recipes and easily have a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner like when I was a child.”
Alice pulled out all the recipes that were meticulously labeled and placed the rest of the boxed cards off to the side. She looked at the first one, labeled turkey, and flipped it over.
“What the hell?!”
“What?” Dana was fastening her apron as she leaned over Alice’s shoulder. “Hmmm, there’s nothing written on that card, Al, but a number.”
“I see that, Dana,” Alice shot back as she grabbed the box once more and rifled through the cards realizing most of them had nothing but a phone number on them. Alice picked up her cell phone and dialed her mother’s number.
“What the hell is this on these recipe cards?”
“Who is this?”
“Mother,” Alice spoke loudly. “Focus on what I’m saying. Where are the recipes for Thanksgiving dinner, for all the food that was so delicious and that my childhood memories surround?”
“I never cooked a Thanksgiving meal, heavens no, Alice! I catered it, threw flour on my face after keeping you kids out of the kitchen all day so I could polish off a bottle of wine and a joint.”
“And these numbers?”
“Likely out of business,” Lenore laughed. “It was from your childhood, Alice, you’re not a spring chicken anymore.”
Alice hung up the phone in frustration and turned to face Dana.
“We’re screwed, utterly fucked with no lube, Dana!”
“What?”
“There are no recipes and we’ve never even cared to watch how Tina made things! Call Shane, I’m in a panic!”
“Shouldn’t you call Tina?” Dana wisely suggested as Alice frantically shook her head.
“And give Porter the satisfaction of carrying the torch and telling me she was right?” Alice’s mouth gaped open. “I would rather freeze my butt cheeks together and stick myself in the oven to thaw them!”
“This can only end badly,” Dana muttered as she began to search the internet for turkey roasting instructions.
“How hard can it be? You throw the turkey in a roaster.”

This is a really funny story.Please Gumby come back to the site more often.
Very funny, thank you
Hahahahaha! That was pretty funny, my family divides up the Thanksgiving cooking, the host makes the turkey and everyone else just brings a dish
Happy to see your name my friend. So funny!!! Thank you
Classic Gumby…clever, fun, witty! Alice is hysterical! Love it Gumby…thanks! For the past 10 years, we go to my sister’s sister-in-law’s…TERRIBLE cook. We don’t have the heart to tell her…so we eat Chinese BEFORE going over to her house. LOL
Oh, funny and spot on! Thanks for the Thanksgiving Treat. Hope you have a great and tasty holiday! LOL.
Pulling off a holiday meal with all the trimmings is hard work. Thank goodness the takeways are open here practically year round! Lenore (and Tina) had the right idea. ;) Thanks for the post!
I like the version of your story with all the girls alive and well and funny as hell. So Tina was very crafty with her Thanksgiving Dinner and Bette knew this but let Alice act of though she was doing them favor by taken over the meal, and then her and Dan end up making out instead of preparing the meal. I wish I had a little more of Angie in the story though.
I know several butternut squash recipes but that Aunt Jamima substitute had rolling that was a great laugh thanks G
True Gumby style, a story that makes you laugh out loud. Thanks for the post and have a great holiday!
Wonderful story. Thank you loved it. Happy Thanksgiving!
i’m glad challenges are back because all my favorite writers are back :)
I’m ROTFL at the scene in Alice’skitchen. Tina Bette is one heck of an actresses..Imagine all the pref just so they have a “Perfect” Thanksgiving? Thanks for the one off. ^_^
As nigella would say, take as many short cuts as you can! I loved Alice’s solution for the food scale lol genius. Thank you for the fun Danish. I miss them greatly.
Very nice. Rings a bell too ;-)
Suddenly I´m a bit relieved not being from a Thanksgiving celebrating country – however I think Bette made the point.By the way…any chance of an update on Loves Recovery…happy Thanksgiving!
That was funny, love it. Happy Thanksgiving!
Gumby, you’re always so funny! You have a wry sense of humor. I sorely miss your outstanding stories.
That was laugh out loud funny Gumby. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving!
I thought it was weird that Lenore had her own recipes. And Tina outed as a poseur, LOL. Although I do think that the show’s Tina actually made her own pies, etc.
Aren’t these ff challenges great? Not only they are fun to read they also bring back the best writers of this site and that definitely includes U Gumby!:-) Your Halloween treat was sweet and this Thankgiving fic is hilarious! Im such a fan of your stories and seeing new posts from you is really awesome:-) Thanks!
