Not I, but I'm picking up a fresh turkey from Whole Foods tonight. DH's parents are in town, and I think we're all in agreement that we're best off if my MIL orchestrates the whole event while we kids follow directions. Wah!! I want my mommy! 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 I'm sorry you miss your mom, Jo. She must have been a great cook! Mine never did anything spectacular at the holidays, especially since she discovered frozen and boxed foodstuffs in the 1970's. And that canned chilled cranberry sauce that came out, well, looking like a CAN. And somehow she always managed to burn the rolls (frozen, not from scratch). Hello, it's called a TIMER? She used packets of dry gravy mix for the turkey and instant mashed potatoes. I'm not opposed to convenience foods but this doesn't evoke any especially fond holiday memories for me. Jill OHMYGAWD! That border on child abuse! ; Hugs, CatNipped LOL! We don't even want to discuss the "turkey roll" she found in the freezer case. Shrunk up to about the size of a complimentary roll of bread at some restaurants, so she'd bake two of them for the five of us. But it was eat, or starve. I don't like starving. Yes, I'll take two slices. And that "gravy" to smother the boxed dehydrated mashed potatoes. Thanks! Jill |

oups.com... I'm really curious about what you call the merletons. I have seen them called chayote squash but was never sure what to do with them. Would like to try out your recipe...sounds delicious!. Thanks! Have a good holiday! -PatM Sorry, Pat, I'm not ignoring your request, I'm just waiting for my daughter to email her recipe to me (I've never made it, but hers was a *HUGE* success today). I'll post that to the group as soon as she gets it to me. Hugs, CatNipped |

Oh, man. I don't think I could individually pick out a live animal and then eat it later. I am way too squeamish. Me neither. My father, however, grew up on a chicken farm, so he was used to it. Nope, not me. If it were ever to become necessary, I'd probably be the first vegetarian survivalist. As far as I'm concerned, meat comes on a styrofoam plate with a little pamper under it, covered with plastic. It was never running around. lol Jane |
