Morgana for her Thanksgiving MST3K threads, always funI'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.

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!
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!
Morgana for her Thanksgiving MST3K threads, always funRemember Americans in need, who struggle to keep a job, feed their kids, pay their bills, heat their homes, and find affordable food for their tables.
Meanwhile........the parasitic BIDEN CRIME FAMILY are all going to posh Nantucket for Thanksgiving.......sucking up tax dollars on AF ONE, LUXURY HOTELS AND ENDLESS FEASTING.
ON OUR DIME.
Contact Congress
U.S. House of Representatives: * Telephone: 202-225-3121 * Website: http://www.house.gov/
U.S. Senate: * Telephone: 202-224-3121 * Website: http://www.senate.gov/
Demand Congress obtain this information NOW.
How many Bidens are going?How much is it costing taxpayers to house, feed, and convey the Biden family’s Thanksgiving in Nantucket?
They’ve done this before.......did Joe Biden use his VP or Senate resources for earlier Nantucket thanksgivings?
Wonderful idea, Texas Booster
Always searching for new recipes.
Thank you from a fellow Texan (north Texas, Sherman/Denison)
New traditions:
joining the family before the feast to sing Praises
to our Lord.
Be Present At Our Table, Lord

Thanks for doing this. Always enjoyed these threads. Got some wonderful ideas from them too.
Need a positive dose of nostalgia after everything that’s happened this year.
Very nice.
I had no idea he passed away :(
I ordered a cookbook from him, long, long ago.
Spent a little time doing a web search this morning. I’ll check with my sisters but they all seem to have crs and my mom was one of those who kept most recipes in her head. I think this is pretty close to my mom’s stuffing
Cracker Stuffing for 12-14 pound Turkey
4 sleeves saltine crackers
2 stalks celery diced
1 cup butter
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 medium onion, chopped
4 eggs
1/2 cup milk
With the crackers still in their sleeves, crush them with your hands (easier to crush this way, and it keeps your hands cleaner) then empty the sleeves into a large bowl. Chop celery into small pieces and add to the crackers. In a frying pan, saute the butter, onion and black pepper until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes. No need to add salt since you are using saltine crackers. Add cooked onions to the crackers and mix well. Add eggs and mix well. Add milk a little at a time (you might not use all of the milk), until the cracker mix is moistened. Cracker mix should form a ball which you can hold in your hand. When stuffing a turkey with cracker stuffing it does not expand, so you want to pack it in tight. With traditional bread stuffing you would pack it in the turkey loosely. When the turkey is ready, you pull out the cracker stuffing in one big chunk and slice it. Also great on a turkey sandwich the next day!

I don’t recall my mom trying to get the stuffing out on one piece.

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.
