It looks as though the bar isn't open yet.........and I won't be here tomorrow or near a computer for the next few days.
So I opened up this thread to just wish each and every one of you a glorious day filled with lots of good food, friends and love.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING............have a DOTD on me!
XOXOXOXOXO
You'd better check in when you return.....I have your number and I know where you live....;)

Have a wonderful day Gini, wherever you are! :D :D :D
Say Hey ya'll! Going out of town Gini? Have a safe and wonderful few days. Funky down Slick! And KKKaren... I'm meeting Emily-The-Spoiled (Cheryl) for lunch today and we will hoist a Thanksgiving toast to you. See you guys in a few minutes over at Thursday's (or is this the starter thread?? hmmmm :confused: )
I'll be on the road tomorrow and Friday so I won't be checking in either.
I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving and ask that you enjoy your time with loved ones. I also ask that you say a prayer for those who are struggling this season. Hugs to all.
Might as well make this the starter thread. I don't think Gini has started one before....so let's make this one officially Thursday #82!Quote:

Unless Richard has other plans, that is.....
WOO HOO HOO, WE'RE 82 :D Funny, I don't feel that old :rolleyes: I'm sorta like Logan here Slick with the "brown liquor" yuk. So I'll skip the Wild Turkey but I think Gini left a lovely bottle of dry, white California wine for us to celebrate with. Maybe later we can share a glass of champagne with some fresh strawberries and pretend we're "Pretty Women".
Gini, have a good time and a safe thanksgiving!! A nd I'm speaking for Donna, too!
Ooh, I'll join you in a nice white wine, since you're celebrating a holiday!
David, are you now Donna's official spokesperson?!
Oh Laurie, I just loved that movie so much I went out and bought it...but we must not forget the floss!:D I'd love to share a glass with you.
Hi KK, Hi David.
I'll make some more Bailey's if anyone is interested. Speaking of which....I really need to start gathering my ingredients. I always make Bailey's at Christmastime and give away as presents. Too bad it's not "shippable". ;) :(
I need that recipe again Slick. Wasn't it on a previous thread somewhere? Great idea for Christmas presents! By the way, Mario said he absolutely loooooves my sweet potato souffle with LOTS of marshmallows on top. So there. :p Here you go Karen, and look! I brought out the fancy glasses for the holiday!
Ooh are we watching a movie again this week? Excellent!
Yes, I'd love to taste your Baileys, Slick. Are you sure it's not shippable? I mean, if you can buy wine over the internet ...
:D I wish, but I don't have the proper packaging for it. You know that there would be a bottle on your doorstep if I could arrange it! Karen, a few weeks ago there was a mention in some thread about a group of us travelling to England. Gini and I have decided that we are not going to let this idea die...maybe when it happens we can take a side trip up to see you and I can make some for you in purrson. :)
Laurie..for your drinking pleasure:
In a big bowl, whiz up all the following ingredients until it gets nice and foamy. Then taste, then bottle, then taste again. :D Does not have to age. Can be consumed right away.
1 mickey Rye
1 large (1 litre) whipping cream
1 small (1 pint) 1/2 & 1/2 or creamo
2 eggs
4 tblsp. chocolate syrup
1 1/2 tsp. coconut extract
2 tblsp. instant coffee
1 can Borden's sweetened condensed milk
This recipe may be doubled or tripled depending on the size of the bowl and the amount of consumption.......And of course, the amount of Rye may vary depending on taste......I always put a little extra in........
Makes three 26-oz bottles. Because it's made with dairy products, it only lasts about 3 weeks in the fridge. Unfortunately, it will have to be used up in that time........
Now as for the conversions:
1 mickey of Rye is comparable to a "fifth"
1 liter = 33.8140226 ounce [US, liquid]
1 liter = 35.1950797 ounce [UK, liquid]
1 pint [UK] = 20 ounce [UK, liquid]
1 pint [US, liquid] = 16 ounce [US, liquid]
You can't possibly go all the way to England and not come to see me!!!!! Not just for the Baileys, obviously ...
Now as far as the recipe goes, what's creamo?
Karen, creamo is a thicker version of milk and with a higher fat content. Sometimes going under the name of 1/2 & 1/2, it's used in coffee and tea mostly. It's found in the dairy section and is slightly thinner than the whipping cream in the carton.
:D Thank, you! Go on then, I'll have one with my coffee - A baileys that is, not a creamo!
DONE!Quote:

Purrsonally, I don't like Baileys...it's too sweet for my liking. On a cold morning I'm told that 1/2 c hot coffee and 1/2 c Baileys works wonders. :D
Hello to everyone!
Thanks Gini....hope you have a nice few days....
I'll be in and out all day long....Let's stoe up the fire and everyone grab a seat!!!!!
DONE!
Wow you guys really got going early this week. I'll be here today inbetween cookie batches . Trying to get all but the cut out ones done to day for christmas. I'll go to my daughters to make the cut out mess on her day off. they are her favorites she can clean up after them. oops timer rang back soon.
Hi Richard...don't worry, I'm home for a couple of hours and will try to fill your shoes...:eek:
Fireplace....DONE! (hee hee....I feel like a real bartender now)
YUM! Thanks for this slick...I think I will be whipping this up for the holidays this year! I'll even put a label on it: Slick's Irish Cream! :DQuote:

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!
I'll be heading down to LA to spend Thanksgiving with my uncle's family (actually Simi Valley...but it's not too far from LA) like we usually do. Have a safe and fun holiday everyone!
**hugs**
Karen
Not officially, Karen, I guess it sort of slipped out!Quote:

David, are you now Donna's official spokesperson?!
I was thinking of a different name for it Karen... since it's Irish Cream I was going to call it McSlicks :p
*waves*
Hi, everyone!
Oh, what's cooking? It sure smells great in here. Be sure to keep the door to the L&F closed. Don't want to ruin the atmosphere!
Could I have some hot cider and 4 catnip teas for the kids?
Oh, and how about a big slice of pumpkin pie?
;)
:D :D Would you like fries with that???Quote:

Hi Connie, make yourself comfy by the fire and I'll bring over your order. The pies are in the oven.
Oh, Connie you were reading my mind! (very light reading) A big piece of pumpkin pie for me, too. May I also have a big cup of coffee and two catnip teas for my two sleeping beauties?Quote:

MOFF, that sounds good! I would like a hot cider and slice of pie too.
Hi, Wolflady & David!
Everyone, try to keet the whipped cream away from Mario!
He made one big mess last week!
Maybe we can distract him with some cherries or blueberries?
Of course, he's been known to make a mess with those too.;)
David
DONE!
Karen
DONE!
Pumpkin pies hot out of the oven
DONE!
Mario...put the whipped cream down and slowly back away!!
:D
Hi everyone. Happy early Turkey day to all of us USA'ers. A baileys and coffee sounds wonderful right about now.
Oh Mario - those aren't cherries, those are cranberries - they're not quite as sweet.:eek:
6 dozen toll house done 4 dozen molasses/oatmeal done Boiling raisans for the boiled raisan cake then the now bake cookies( joyfully called cat crap cookies here.sons faviotes)
Thought I would make his as he is actually working to day. Don't tell Andy but hes getting a fatten up care package from me.:D
Catland
Here's your coffee and you can help yourself to the Baileys on the bar. I take no responsibility for how much you put in.... ;)
Corinna....that's one heck of a cookie show.....I'm sure Andy will be pleased.
Brilliant idea, Laurie!! :D :D I'll have another McSlicks. No fries, thanks. Oh thank you, some Pumpkin Pie? Don't mind if I do. I'll just settle myself down before the film starts.
You sound like you're working hard Corinna! Have you some time to relax by the fire?
The cake stays in the oven for an hour and 45 mintues so I have a little while. A nice peppermint tea sounds really nice right now.
Peppermint tea?
DONE!
I am also making a giant pot of Catnip Tea!!!!!
I'll just put a table cloth over the pool table and set the pies cakes and cookies there....
Let me gather up some wood for the fire and some clean glasses for the "buffet".......
Mario,
Do you want to go out and play on the porch while I push the wheelbarrow around?:D
My cats THANK YOU for the pot of tea. They will be wanting refills soon. They highly recommend it to all the other kitties!Quote:

I think Mario would rather ride in the wheelbarrow than play on the porch!:D
I brought a big batch of my pumpkin pudding. It's just whipped topping mixed with a can of pumpkin pie mix. It's sure good though!
Done !!opps sorry I mean with the cookies I brought my shrimp dip . Cream cheese on plate spread out cocktail sauce canned shrimp, then shredded cheese (mozzella and sharp chedder) here are the crakers to scrap it off the plate.
Its a standard party dish at my house. Hope you all enjoy it.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!!! :D I have missed you all this week. It has been "one of those weeks", and hopefully I can be around more starting next week. I'm certain I'll be scarce over the next few days, anyway.
Corinna! What a thoughtful thing for you to do for Andy! :) If that doesn't "fatten" him up, I just don't know what will!!!! :D
Hope all of you have a wonderful holiday and weekend. Drink one for me!! Cheers!! :)
Logan
Speaking of cranberries MARIO, DIDN'T YOU LISTEN TO CATLAND! STOP SPITTING CRANBERRIES! they aren't cherrys see? * jeezy peezy Mario * I like a cranberry relish that's made with smushed up cooked berries with a bit of orange zest mixed. Just a touch on the turkey is quite nice. I DO NOT like that jelly kind out of a can. it wriggles and jiggles and tiggles inside ya
