Brynly gets alarmed as she is in her room and ends up smelling the disgusting smell of burnt turkey and immediately knows that she needs to run to the kitchen and take action.
“Dad what happened????” She asked him in a worried and alert tone.
“Well I was trying to make your moms famous pineapple turkey but the recipe is just way to complex and I just can't make it as good even when I check the recipe over and over again” Brynly and her dad jump in shock from the sound of the alarm going off
“Oh! I made your grandma's pudding that you used to have when you were a kid. I'm sure this one will turn out well. Could you go grab it for me please.” She opens the fridge and grabs the pudding but as she does so the dish falls out of her hand and she comes to the realization that the pudding had never set.
“Uh dad, I think you might have read the recipe wrong again.” she told him in shock.
“That's ok dad do you want help making the brussel sprouts”
“Nope I already made those they just need to be plated” Brynly looks over and realises she is not going to be eating today. She knows that her dad has probably worked really hard trying to make these meals for her to maybe make Christmas a little better with the sadness of her mom moving away. She really loves that her dad puts in the effort to try and make life less sad but it just never seems to work. With all the Christmas decorations that he had accidentally broken and all the traditions that he has tried to recreate. There always seems to be something wrong with them or some mishap. She always tries to reassure him that he doesn't have to do this much and worry about having to recreate the past and just try to move on.
Brynly grabs a dish and starts plating her food trying to not make it look like she is about to barf. They sit down and her dad looks at his food then back at her then to his food then to her.
“Wow this doesn't look too good.” I look up at him and laugh.
“Well it's not the worst… at least the turkey is undercooked.” But just as she says that she cracks through a piece of what looks to be burnt but then finds that the turkey is completely raw on the inside.
“Well here's an idea, how about we start a new tradition and order KFC from now on?”
“I agree that's a great idea.” She told him in excitement. They smiled and Immediately threw out their food as quickly as possible and indulged in the amazing deep fried goodness that just got delivered on their doorstep.”
