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.
Nice pictures but didn’t see a single recipe.
That was my thought.
Oven roasted turkey, brined and stuffed
Stuffing w LOTS of sage, celery and onions
Smashed potatoes w a whole stick of butter and pint of heavy cream
About a gallon of gravy
Green Bean Casserole
Corn pudding
Cranberry sauce served just like grandmas, on a fancy glass tray sideways still retaining the shape of the can
3 store bought pies. Pumpkin, apple and cherry. Had my eye on blueberry too but there will only be 3 of us!
I will be doing all the cooking cuz this is my idea of a good time and I know my way around the kitchen.
Shooting for noon.
Forgot the dinner rolls.
Click on the two links in the first sentence. They go to two recipes.
I did a Goigle and found what I was searching for. I was wondering how much milk to add to the mushroom soup.
Um...no poultry seasoning?
Holy cow!! Minus the ice box, this described my Grandparent’s place in East Chicago to a tea!!
My Dad grew up outside of Boston, some scenic location called Dorchester.
They moved further out every few years as the city grew up around them.
His stories about growing up in the Depression were amazing, and the housing sounds much like this.
But they always found enough food (and ale) for the holidays, some years borrowing a little from the neighbors, most years “loaning” a little to others.
Nice post. You’re lucky.
“green bean casserole with mushroom soup?”
That traditional dish grosses me out. Too slimy for me. I do love the fried onions on top, though!
