For those that missed the posting, Carlo Morelli passed away January 10 2021.
I thought that I would post a thread that links to many of the great Thanksgiving and Christmas threads posted through the years by many FReepers.
I'll post links below where I can make use of my limited HTML skills.
Please feel free to join me and post favorite food threads for Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays, especially ones that link to the early days of Free Republic.
For those that missed the announcement on FB.
Thank you hope for posting this in January.
From 2002.
I will be posting various threads throughout the day, as work allows.
All I’m craving is some good cranberry salad
:)
Someone gave us a turkey. It’s missing the tag with the weight on it. It does have the little popup deal. I might bring it to the grocery store to get it weighed.
What a lovely idea! Thank you!
A popular Christmas libation sans the calories. The only cals are in the rum...
figure one cal per each “proof” of alcohol. 100 proof rum is about 100 cals per shot.
SKINNY HOT BUTTERED RUM
Mix tablespoon rum, teaspoon butter buds (in spice section), bit sweetener.
ASSEMBLY Add to cup of boiling water in pretty mug. Float 3-4 whole allspice on top.
SERVE HOT.
My wife has 10 brothers and sisters (she’s Italian Catholic and they have big families) and with their kids and grandkids our thanksgiving dinners generally have about 60-70 people. She’s the cook of the family and since her mother died she’s become the matriarch of her family. She started cooking today in order to feed a group that big. She’s the acknowledged chef of the family and she is gifted in that regard. I’m the lucky guy who married her and gets to eat like a king not only on thanksgiving but pretty much every night. God is good.
bookmarked! thanks!
We have a large family as well, but growing up at the end of the family ... well, all of the older children went their own way.
At least everyone on our family was expected to pitch in, and so each of us younger ones learned how to do something in the kitchen.
As my wife and I get older we are working hard to keep the holiday events a big part of our children and grandchildren.
Then when they are old they will not depart.
Thank you, Liz.
That’s exactly what we need on this thread, links to favorite recipes and stories.
You beat me to it!
Your Thanksgiving postings have become one of my favorite things to try.
I will be trying to dig up older threads so that we do not lose our memory of what Free Republic is.
I suspect that we are all getting older, and I (for one) tend to mis-remember things.
I miss those days.
I understand. My wife noticed one of her nieces has an aptitude for cooking and she’s has been schooling her for the past couple of years to take over when she is gone. And the circle continues. Family is everything.
Bathroom scales? Weigh yourself once with turkey and once without and substract.
If you have a people scale, weigh yourself. Then weigh yourself again holding turkey. You/turkey weight minus your weight = estimate of turkey weight. (I am rural, so improvise sometimes;D
Same idea, one minute apart from each other. We don’t own a bathroom scale.
