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!!

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.

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!

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.

....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.

Thanks - but it turns out that I am allergic to nearly everything in the tomato aspic except the tomato and the gelatin, so I won't be making any after all.
