The Holiday Dinner Disaster You Don’t Expect

Growing up in South Dakota my family would always gather during the holidays and enjoy a big meal together.

Now, here in Montana, it's my turn to host people and cook those big family gathering meals, but all the excitement can be dashed if you find yourself with things not working properly.

However, it could end up being what makes your perfect holiday dinner turn into a disaster pretty quickly.

Just think about how many people will be over and how many won't completely clear their plates or scrape all food into the garbage can, and now if your garbage disposal isn't working, it's going to ruin the whole dinner.
