Thanksgiving Gone Wrong: Hilarious Stories from Sioux Falls Families

I remember a trip to Minot, North Dakota to spend Thanksgiving with a friend and his family long ago. There were three of us traveling, so the conversation was lively and there was plenty of laughter. The car was warm, but the wind was blazing.

So it began as a fun adventure on what seemed like a weeklong trip to the Great (Almost) White North. I mean Minot isn't the end of the earth, but...(well you know the end of the joke).

In any case, the end of the trip was sketchy, but it's the middle we're concerned with here. Our host decided to grill the turkey on a charcoal grill in the bitterly cold wind. When that didn't work, he thought he could microwave it, while his wife looked on in amusement.
