My favorite day of the year! My birthday AND Thanksgiving.....
Only a few more years until I can taste the DOTD's legally.

Hope everyone in the states has a nice Thanksgiving.

I'm interested in trying those 'special' yams of your's Laurie... Never liked them before but who knows.

Make mine a double Raspberry Martini! Happy Thanksgiving everyone! RICHARD, I hope you're feeling better, now that you've come out of the closet. You DID hide in the closet when you were sick, right??

MM,
Double rasp Martini?

Done!

Hi K!

Hi Laurie....

I don't do yams at all and I know someone would ask for some....

_____________________________________

The DOTD? Mulled wine!

One bottle of red wine (suggestions: Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, Merlot)
One peeled and sliced orange (keep peel to add zest to taste into cooking pot)
¼ cup of brandy
8-10 cloves
2/3 cup honey or sugar
3 cinnamon sticks
1 tsp fresh or 2 tsp ground ginger (allspice can be substituted)
Serves 4-6
PREPARATION:
Combine all ingredients in either a large pot or a slow cooker. Gently warm the ingredients on low to medium heat (avoid boiling), for 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure that the honey or sugar has completely dissolved.

When the wine is steaming and the ingredients have blended well it is ready to serve. Ladle into mugs (leaving seasonings behind) and enjoy!

Must. Behave.
Will not mention anything about Richard's yams or willies....

Happy Thanksgiving, everbunny!

Yams and willies? EWWW!

Not a yam fan either. Smashed taters for me!

DOTD? It's too early for eggnog, so here I sit, sipping my Trader Joe's Wintry Blend spiced coffee-- YUMM! A topping of whipped cream is all that it needs.

Sunny & 70's here.

I just finished the cinnomon rolls for breakefast and sweet rolls to go with dinner. Homemade by hand no machine. My arms hurt
How a bout a small bit of that mulled wine.

**catland** · 11-23-2005, 02:35 PM

Happy turkey day everyone. We're going over the mountains and through the woods to my sister-in-law's house in central Oregon. Her husband and I are kindrid spirits when it comes to eating the Thanksgiving feast. We believe in getting the turkey (mostly dark meat), dressing, and mashed potatoes on our plate before smothering the whole thing in gravy.

Of course, now I'm starting to hear that there might be snow in the mountains for our return trip home.

I'm not a big mulled wine fan, but a spanish coffee might go well with the invoicing that I have to do this afternoon before I leave work.
