Who's Cooking for Thanksgiving? (Take a break from politics)

Posted on 11/20/2004 6:03:08 PM PST by annyokie

What do you make, besides turkey? My Italian relatives made lasagna or ravioli.

I make a terrific cheesecake and the recipe is available for all who ask!

Thank you so much!!!!

I plan on trying it on Thursday!!!!

These oysters came out of the water yesterday, so I'm not worried about keeping some of them until Thursday. I love living so close to the water!!!

But I sure do understand why shucked oysters can run up to $12.00 a pint..........I lost track of how long it took hubby to shuck them!!!!

That's great - I've been woatching the buzzards around here lately, I've been seeing a lot of them lately. It's hunting season and there are a lot of critters moving around, so lots of road kill.

Friday after election day when hubby and I encountered a bunch of them in the road I wondered aloud if they were finishing of the carcass of the left. He nearly drove off the road!!!!!!

"Greenbean casserole is gross. I made it for my thankless former in-laws. They loved it, of course."

Try this one. It is about the tastiest thing you will ever eat. I only eat it on Thanksgiving because it is very rich and unhealthy.

Grind some oyster crackers and coat some select oysters with them. Saute the cracker coated oysters in real butter at a low temperature for about 10 minutes on a side (very low temperature)in a teflon fry pan. They will become golden brown and crusty on the outside. The cracker crumbs will soak up the butter, yielding an artery clogging treat.

These are 10 times better than deep fried oysters. They have been a family tradition in my family for over 150 years.

"I've already got the EPA disposal permit for all the grease a goose sheds when you cook it.

Freeze it if you have dogs...a spoon a day in their chow will make their coats thick and shiny.

It was AWESOME!

Don't know yet about this year.

You can't walk 3 steps without seeing deer around here these days. I routinely slow down at least 20 mph below the speed limit on the road leading up to my place due to all the deer this year.

We really do need an open season on deer for a year or two. I've seen 3 of them on the side of the road (hit by cars) this week alone.

I don't, sorry. We eat ours candied at Thanksgiving.

I might be able to help, though. Do you want them fresh or canned? Chunked or mashed?

I'll save a little for the cat - no dogs here though (although all the neighbors have pooches).

You want them, you can have them. I'll stick them in the mail on Monday. No one here likes pecan pie besides me.

The allergy is only pecans. I can eat peanuts, macadamias, cashews, etc.
