Thursday 343! Thanks you very much?

[RICHARD]

Well,
We have a week before we get to the U.S. Thanksgiving Day...A whole week to prepare!

What are your fave Thanksgiving Day foods?

Back with a DOTD!

[Karen]

I miss the tomato aspic Ma used to make - no idea of a recipe, couldn't find one anywhere after Ma died. I loved the "French" stuffing we used to have - two kinds of stuffing were available, the bread-crumb based kind, and the mashed potato-based one. Lady's Human finally found the actual recipe for that one!

There's really no traditional Thanksgiving food I didn't love, and I can still eat many of them which is good.

Apple pie with a slice of sharp cheddar ... yummmmmm!

[Pinot's Mom]

Karen there are MANY versions of tomato aspic available in Joy of Cooking (my cooking Bible) as well as Joy on line. My mother was very fond of that as well; she made it for every ladies luncheon - that and beef consomme. I don't eat either.

Now - on to Thanksgiving! Turkey skin right out of the oven, crescent rolls, broccoli casserole, yams with marshmallows!!

[happylabs]

Anything with gravy on it...mashed potatoes and stuffing. Pumpkin pie with Breyer's all natural vanlla ice cream on top.

The day after...more gravy with turkey cut up in it over stuffing.

Yes, but do any of them have Worcestershire sauce? That's the one Ma made ... and of course, I'd be allergic to it now, anyway as Worcester sauce has many ingredients to which I am allergic. Sigh.

Pumpkin pie with Breyer's all natural vanilla ice cream on top.

TURKEY (White flavor, please) WITH Cranberry Jelly AND Gravy
Stufffing - stuff that was STUFFED in the Bird - not on the stove
Green Beans - any kind of casserole (don't look - I'm gonna smother 'em in GRAVY!)
Beets or Beet Salad (skip the gravy)
Mini-Onions cooked together with most any veggy - Grammy's Specialty
(She even tried Mini-Os and Baby Lima Beans once - I ATE 'em!)
{Even had seconds - but I fished for just the Mini-Os }
Couple Sweet Taters - gravy optional
I'd take on most any Veggy --- as long as it sat still for the Gravy Dump!
(Mom always let out a >>GASP<< as I dumped Gravy on EVERYthing!)

Desert?? SURE!
Hunka whatever pies ya got - just skip the NUTTY ones and any of 'em
that got CoCoNut sprinkled on or in 'em. Whadda way to ruin a good pie!
Not enough room? Short on desert plates? ... Dinner Plate is fine for me!
Just pile the ice cream on top.

MidNite Snack? ... Thought you'd never ask!!

White bread / Mayo
Slab of White meat
Layer of Cranberry Jelly
Lettice leaf
Top off with another bread
(ALL COLD - fresh out of the ice-box!)

Side of COLD Stuffiing, topped with warm Gravy.

Don't wake me before noon ... then we'll start with another Turkey Sammich!

A Clockwork Tangerine recipe


12 oz Sprite® soda
1 packet Kool-Aid® Tangerine mix
1 oz Bacardi® gold rum
1 oz Smirnoff® vodka



Combine all ingredients in a beer pilsner. Stir together, and serve.

DONE!

My favorite is all the leftovers the next day, and the next, and the next.........

I really don't enjoy a big Thanksgiving Day dinner. By the time it's ready to eat, I have no appetite after spending many hours preparing a huge feast for everybody. Of course if someone else was doing the cooking, I'd probably thoroughly enjoy it.

And dark meat turkey is the best part of the meal - along with homemade cranberry sauce.

[Pinot's Mom]

....and Richard - even though it's 8:45, set up the bar! The Holiday Season is fast approaching!!

[Queen of Poop]

It's only 7:37 am here, don't really need a drink, but a hot tea would be spectacular, any blend is fine.

Do we have any cookies? I'm in the mood for a cookie.

[Lady's Human]

Cookies?

Oatmeal or Chocolate chip, your choice!

One cup of tea, as well.

Personally, I'm going to have something a touch stronger.....Fresh decaf at the bar for Irish.

[Queen of Poop]

I'd go for a chocolate chip please and thank you very much. Chocolate is good for the soul!!

[Lady's Human]

One dozen chocolate ship cookies comin up!

(If you put 'em on top of the fridge for a while the calories get scared and jump out, so they're good for you, too!)

Put your order in!
DONE!

POM,

Homemade Cran sauce!!

DONE!

**yawn**
Good morning - forgive me for rubbing the sleep from my peepers. The West Coast is just becoming conscious now.

I'll join Q of P for a nice cuppa but I'll have some toast with peanut butter please and thank you.

Tomato aspic??? Yikes, I haven't eaten that for decades. I was at a family "do" once, can't remember if it was dinner or lunch, but there was a tomato aspic there to die for. It suited my taste buds with lots of worchester and tobasco and tiny bits of celery - I guess that's why I love a good Bloody Mary to this day.

I'm freezing cold - going to get some logs for the fire.
