Defrosting champagne and other Christmas disasters
Comments
We forgot one once and it exploded in the freezer, whay a bloody mess! ….just stick it in the fridge to defrost
Lady BMcH says don't defrost champagne in the microwave.
You don't have time to defrost it in the fridge now. Your only solution is to put it in the oven with the turkey.
I put two bottles of beer in the freezer once and forgot. My daughter opened the freezer door and they exploded as soon as the warm air hit them a fraction of a second later showering her and the kitchen with glass. No injuries thankfully, but they made hell of a mess.
Champagne sorbet?
If you smash the glass you can put it on a stick & have a breakfast of champions ice lolly. Minus one of the important ingredients that makes up a breakfast of champions, that is.
Put it in a bucket of water and throw some beers in with it. It can keep your beers chilled as it defrosts outside. Fridge space is precious today..

OK you can all stop refreshing the thread now and get back to your families :) it’s safely defrosted and is in the fridge ready for when we get back from lunch.
Hopefully the uncertainty of the fate of the champagne hasn’t spoiled your day!

6 guys rented a flat long before AirBnB in York
the guy who was a chef arranged a turkey.
After a boozy Xmas Eve, it was time to out the turkey in the oven, but it was miles too big
we hacked off uncooked legs, but still had to take the panels off the inside of the oven and hang the baking tray on
the electric heating elements

I prefer a breakfast of champignonsRevolutions said:If you smash the glass you can put it on a stick & have a breakfast of champions ice lolly. Minus one of the important ingredients that makes up a breakfast of champions, that is.
I took all the pre cooked food to my parents today and went into the kitchen where my dad told me to put it on the side. All the food was in a big box so I couldn’t see the side and put it down straight on a bowl of hot fat which spilt all over the side, my trousers, shoes and all over the kitchen floor so had to mop the floor before finishing lunch and go home to change.
There's not mushroom for that level of joke here.SteveRobinson said:I prefer a breakfast of champignonsRevolutions said:If you smash the glass you can put it on a stick & have a breakfast of champions ice lolly. Minus one of the important ingredients that makes up a breakfast of champions, that is.
Speaking of other Christmas disasters.
Currently in casualty, friend fell down the stairs, top to bottom. Heard the bang, an unmistakable sound when somebody falls down the stairs. Get to her, eyes open but not conscious, awkward position, blood coming out of her head.
Thought the worst, but now, one CT scan later, she is awake and awaiting a head stitching.
Possibly too much wine who knows, but very scary.

She’s been stitched up so will hopefully out after a few more checks, could have been much worse.
Got a bargain bottle last night - was even given a student discount - popped it in the freezer to chill and promptly forgot it.
Makes everyone who forgot to defrost their turkey look like a lightweight :lol:
