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!
2 cups flour
1 cup dried fruit
1 tsp baking soda
2 eggs
2 tbsp lemon juice
dark rum to taste
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup butter
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Before starting, sample rum to check quality. Good, isn't it? Now proceed.
Select large mixing bowl, measuring cup, etc. Check rum again. It must be just right. To be sure rum is of proper quality, pour one-half cup of rum into a glass and drink it quickly. Repeat.
With electric mixer, beat 1 cup butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add 1/2 crup of brown thugar and beat again.
Meanwhile, make sure rum is still alright. Try nother half cup. Open second fifth if necessary. Add leggs and fried druit and beat til high. If druit gets stuck in beaters, pry loose with drewscriber.
Nest, sift 2 cups of of flour (or salt; it doesn't matter). Sample rum. Sift lemon juice. Fold in chopped butter and strained nuts. Add another cup of srown bugar or whatever color you can find. Add as much rum as you like. Wix mell.
Grease oven. Turn cake pan to 350 degrees. Pour the whole mess into the oven.
Check rum again and bo to ged.
I saute the oysters in melted butter with bacon bits and onion added for a few minutes, then add them to the stuffing mix. It helps to reduce the "Goodyear Tire and Rubber" effect you sometimes get with oysters.
NAAAAAAAAHHHHHH - just let them eat crow!!!!!!!
Gotta love 'em!
Bless you. I have chronic allergies and asthma and used to live with bronchitis half the year. Took five years of shots and use Advair and Flonase daily, now. It is wonderful to breathe and be cough free most of the year.

I was driving to the grocery store today and passed a field where I saw at least a dozen buzzards walking around, with a few more coming in to land. (Apparently there was something dead nearby). It suited me right down to the ground to think that Babs Streisand's and Mikey Moore's moods are as black and despairing as those buzzards were.
Ravioli is a family affair in this house. Some where I have pix of Jax making ravioli when she was about 3. I use those little plastic turnover presses for them - far easier than filling and cutting on the board, because I don't have a raviolia pan.
I think I'll save the cheesecake recipe for Christmas when I know I'm going to be having company - even if we get a couple or 3 unexpected drop-ins - that is still a lot of cheesecake!!!
Smoking a turkey Monday, over hickory.
Eating it with sauerkraut Thursday.
And probably some vodka to wash it down.
Followed by pumpkin pie, of course.
Kids home, joy!
LOL Sounds like my grandpa's recipe!
My small 11 pound dog barks at buzzards when they fly over the house, he guards our airspace, I guess.
What you expect from people that don't like walnuts!!!!
which reminds me - I need to add them to the grocery list!!!
(not your ex-in-laws, the walnuts, you goose)
Sounds like a busy, busy weekend - and LOADS of fun!!!!!!!
I have a pic somewhere of Joey making white sauce at the age of three. We can trade.
I bought my ravioli pan at a thrift shop. People dump the neatest things there. I have a rock maple vanity table with a tilting mirror that I bought for 28 bucks.
Ack! I have a whole tin of pecans you can have!
I'm going to cook a Lean Cuisine Turkey Dinner, put on some blues and folk tunes and get completely sh*t-faced. Nothing unusual.
What's he doing in that......never mind I don't want to upset any MD FRiends here.
Since we moved we've added nearly 2 hours to what use to be an easy less than 2 hour drive to Baltimore.
Smoked turkey and sauerkraut? You must be German or Russian. Bleech!
It is an exercise fraught with peril to open the blinds when my cat is making his rounds. He bleats like a billy goat every time he sees a bird outside - I've almost wet myself laughing every time he's done it.
Do you mean no stuffing in the smoked turkey?
Gabz can have my share of pecans too. I'm allergic to them - I look like I've got terminal measles if I so much as get the oil from one on my skin.
It doesn't sound like much of a holiday...(I am a mom, I worry about these things).
