Raw Divan

Why Taffy was known for her cooking, we’ll never know, given how many horror stories we have.

Chicken-Divan-Stage-2The first night we were all back at Taffy’s getting read for a small service, dinner was being cooked. Supposedly. The timer goes off, we open the oven… it’s not on. As it happens, Taffy’s oven is electric. The rest of us all have gas.

But this isn’t the first time it happened, and Taffy herself wasn’t able to avoid these mistakes.

At New Years Eve, Taffy got frozen Chicken Divan. In the grand sceheme of things, she forgot to turn on the oven. Undaunted, or perhaps over imbibing on an empty stomach, none of the guests noticed that they were eating raw chicken. At least not until the kids got home and were offered some.

It’s a miracle no one was killed.
