Just reminded of that time my mom stuck the turkey out on the porch on a fairly warm Christmas morning, hoping to get it thawed the rest of the way in time. Plus out of the way in the busy kitchen. Figured a couple of hours at under room temperature wouldn’t be a problem.
No idea if anyone got food poisoning from that, though, because it wasn’t there when she sent me to bring it back in 🙄
99% sure it was a human that made off with it, too. It was a big wrapped up half-frozen turkey, and it would have taken one hell of a dog to carry that thing away with no trace. The only other thing that ever got stolen from outside there was when some shitty kids took the lawnmower until their mother saw it and made them bring it back, but somebody must have really been desperate for a turkey that year!
Good thing we had a ham too, or that could have been one creative holiday dinner with family coming over. Had to laugh more than anything else, it was just so unexpected.
