Thanksgiving day turns into chaos when the turkey catches on fire

The fire began when the wife tried to take the turkey out of the oven and grease spilled out of the pan. Thankfully, no one was hurt and the turkey was salvageable. 'Yes, we ate it,' he said. 'It was smoked and cooked -- it was actually pretty good.'

oven = horno...............spill = derramar ........................pan = fuente de horno, sartén

Thanksgiving Day in United States

Thanksgiving Day in the United States started as a way of giving thanks to food collected from a good harvest or problems that were fixed. It originated in 1621 and was a religious festival, but is now largely secular. It is now a holiday on the fourth Thursday of November.
It is traditional for families and groups of friends to get together for a large meal. This often consists of a turkey, stuffing, different types of potatoes, cranberry sauce, gravy and maize and other seasonal vegetables. The meal also often includes pumpkin pie.

harvest = cosecha...................get together = reunirse...............cranberry sauce = salsa de arándanos
fix = arreglar...........................stuffing = relleno........................gravy = salsa de carne
largely secular = mayoritariamente secular
