Thanksgiving family recipes?

[Randi]

I'm sorry, but we don't do turkey over here much. I find it is quite dry and doesn't taste of much. Of course, a good stuffing helps.

We have roast duck for Christmas, which is one of my absolute favourites!!

Gini, the food you have as a child that your mom or grandmother made is so special, isn't it. I loved the pickled? prunes my mom used to make - it was a recipe my grandmother also used. I managed to get the recipe before my youngest aunt died, so I have made it several times after. Have to be on your toes, though, because those prunes you can only get in August.

I searched the web for a Danish duck recipe written in English, so here is a typical one:

If you can get a good duck, you really should try it! So yummy! If you have questions about this, do ask!

The dessert "Ris a la Mande" is also one of my favourites.

A question for you, Caseysmom: Half and half of what? And I think a turkey would defrost in a fridge in 3 days.
