OT who is already cooking for tomorrow
The fires are a blazing 16 hours to go before the food goes on
and we run out to the Thanksgiving sales. Not I, but I'm picking up a fresh turkey from Whole Foods tonight. One year, when I was a teenager, my father bought a live turkey right after Thanksgiving. He told the farmer to just keep it until nearly Christmas. Two days before, the farmer called my dad and said, 'Uh...how big is your oven, anyway?' The turkey had grown to 35 pounds!! My mother roasted that baby for most of the night, and we had all of the fixings. Fortunately, the family at the time consisted of one adolescent boy and *four* teenagers, a hungry hoard at best, so we managed to polish off the turkey and all leftovers in a week. It was the juiciest, best-tasting turkey I ever remember, too. It'll never happen again. Just one of those one-in-a-million things. Jane - owned and operated by Princess Rita |

She did the very best Thanksgivings in the whole wide world. And directed some epic feasts after she was past able to do it all herself. We have a huge family so 25 or 30 for dinner wasn't unheard of. Jo |

My daughter saw how tired and frazzled I got last year, and on the way home she told her husband she was going to volunteer to do it this year. She had forgotten, but he reminded her a few weeks ago. I am taking my frozen cranberry salad and the pumpkin pies. I made the salad yesterday, and the pies are baking right now. I cheat with the pies and use a bought graham cracker crust. Unfortunately, that comes in a foil pan. I usually get the 10-inch size, which are barely manageable. This time I got a 12-inch one, and is my oven a mess! I cleaned up as much of the spillage as I could, but I still found out that my smoke alarm works. Joy |

I don't think I could individually pick out a live animal and then eat it later. I am way too squeamish. This one is fresh in the sense of not-frozen, not fresh in the sense of still living. Well, I guess it could still be ... Okay, not gonna think about that. Just gonna enjoy the turkey. -- monique, who spoils Oscar unmercifully pictures: http://www.bounceswoosh.org/rpca |

Joy With my daughter living with me, I have a built-in chef (somehow the cooking gene skipped a generation and went directly from my mother to my daughter - although I *do* cook a mean Thanksgiving dinner). We decided to change dessert (I wasn't too sure about baking a pecan pie from scratch and we're having *LOTS* of company). So here's the new menu: Dinner (recipes provided upon request): Roasted Turkey (marinated with Cajun Injection marinade) Giblet Gravy (made from scratch) Cajun Stuffing (made from cornbread which was made from scratch, and with pork and venison sausage, and fresh veggies and herbs - to die for!) Stuffed Merletons (with shrimp - my daughter made this today from my mother's recipe - *OHMYGAWD* it's good!!!) Mashed Potatoes (tip, boil the potatoes in chicken broth) Sweet Potato Crunch (with fresh pecans) Baked Macaroni (recipe from a famous New Orleans restaurant) Homemade Cranberry Sauce Homemade Rolls Dessert (recipes provided upon request): Homemade Chocolate Turtles Homemade Heavenly Hash Candy Homemade Pecan Pralines Boy are we thankful this year!!!!! ; Hugs, CatNipped |
