Read this interesting article about holiday hotlines on about.com a couple of days ago. I wonder if any of you need to ring up any of these numbers listed in this article while you are roasting that turkey (hopefully not after you burnt the turkey!)?

I wonder how the operators will sound like? "Good evening. Welcome to the Christmas hotline. For Turkey, please press 1. For Cakes, please press 2... You pressed 1. For tips on how to roast a Turkey, please press 1. If you have burnt your Turkey, please hole while we fetch the numbers of the restaurants with roasted turkeys in stock..."

Seriously, I think most of us love hosting dinners. Perhaps we treat it as a cooking challenge. Or just another time to show off our new kitchen set. Either way, the guests would expect a palatable meal. So impressing them with your cooking and baking skills is really fundamental. However, (as I've realised) do not attempt any dishes that you have not tried before on a holiday season. Try the dish before hand. You do not want to invite your guests over and have them starving because the turkey (the main course) is burnt. Yeah.. me and burnt turkeys!

Housewives have the least thankful job especially when it comes to holiday season. She cleans the house, shops for everything and yet have to cook for everyone. At the end of it all, she just hope those stuffed stomachs will be a little happier. But she will not stop at that. Scrubbing the dishes, cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, it's all down to the housewife again. So what we can do for them is, get her a nice present. Give her a hug and say "Thank you"!
