If you're ever up here, I'll fix you a Cross & Blackwell mince pie.

[Slip18]

I loves you, Arghie! I'll be there tomorrow. LOL!

I wonder what they're up to ...

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) - Former US President Bill Clinton had lunch yesterday with Dominican Republic President Leonel Fernandez during an unannounced visit to the Caribbean nation, officials said. Clinton was accompanied by wife Hillary Rodham Clinton, a US senator from New York, while Fernandez was with first lady Margarita Cedeno, said Rafael Nunez, a spokesman for Fernandez. Nuñez declined details on the visit.

Nothing much better than a good mince meat pie.

Yum.

[Slip18]

I know. And I never get it.

[lodwick]

Luby's.

[Slip18]

What's "Luby's"?

I checked your home page, and you're from Texas. Maybe only you have a Luby's.

Oh, do you mind of I steal your gun and drinking cat?

[lodwick]

lol - Luby's is a Texas-based cafeteria type operation that has really good mince meat pies, in season.

Please steal the 1911 and drinking kitty gifs - they were stolen from someone else.

Cheers.

Just finished a double recipe of Horseradish Salad. Hope I can leave it alone until Thanksgiving!

Didn't take time for dinner and y'all are makin' me awfully hungy!

BWB...that thread WAS hillarious!

The Queen has an inside crown and an outside crown...

[daisyscarlett]

Wonder if Slick is in the DR to mooch off of OscardalaRenta for Thanksgiving...he and the Beast have done that before...Or perhaps Hillary is going to go to Afghanistan for Thanksgiving with the troops. Remember how she went last year but was upstaged by W who got all the press by going to Baghdad...hee hee...

[daisyscarlett]

Okay, I'll bite. Horseradish Salad? Recipe please, Mr. D. loves horseradish...

This salad has the wierdest ingredient list you've ever seen...but it's totally divine! It goes perfectly with turkey/dressing. Your hubby will love it. (I think Lodwick made it last year.)

Last year, my sister's maid was ill at T'giving so we took her ample servings of our meal. She liked this salad so much she asked if I would make it for her again if she brought me the ingredients. (I thought this odd rather than asking for the recipe, but I was happy to do it for her.) Anyway, that's why I'm making double.

Horseradish Salad

2 cups boiling water
1 sm. pkg each: Lemon gelatin and Lime gelatin.

Mix boiling water and jello…stir well.
Let cool until slightly gelled.

Add to gelatin mix:
15 oz.crushed pineapple, drained
1 cup mayo
1 can Eagle Brand milk
1 cup chopped pecans (I use more)
3 TBSP lemon juice
¼ tsp salt
1 small carton cottage cheese (small curd)
2-3 heaping TBSP Horseradish (I use almost double)

(try to find "real" horseradish, not the “prepared” kind…the real stuff is at the seafood counter in my market).

Stir well and pour into mold or 9 x 13 glass dish. (I use a non-stick bundt pan AND spray it lightly with Pam.)

Refrigerate overnight or until firmly set.
To serve, invert on platter---if it doesn’t release, set pan down in warm water for minute or two. Slice the mold vertically for easy serving.
Serves 15-20.

I've already used the drinking kitty gif on WFTD! LOL! Thanks.

Lotta gif stealing going on around here, eh?

[CheneyChick]

That was funny!

Hi everyone -- I'm back home now (from Afghanistan). I'm happy to be home in time for the holidays and happy to have more FR time and catch up here on the Guild.

I read Martha's Thanksgiving message from prison. Her life sounds similar to deployment except for the better environment and she gets to have visits from friends - plus its only five months she has to be there. LOL!

Cheers, CC :)

Welcome home! I guess you know you're coming back to a very different country than existed before Nov. 2nd. Liberal sacred cows are falling like flies.

There's all this speculation about how CBS will fill Dan's anchor spot. Although I'm enjoying their depleted status, I have a nominee I think could help them out of it.

Lester Holt.

CBS would get all the good publicity for naming the first African American anchor, plus I really like him as a newsman...have always felt he plays it straight. I may be wrong, but it looks to me like it would be a win-win.

[mountaineer]

I'll vouch for timeout's horseradish salad, having made it last year. Delicious!

[mountaineer]

Please share your experiences, if you can. Yes, isn't it a shame that Martha has to endure such adversity, and they won't even put her in charge of the Thanksgiving menu at Alderson!

[Iowa Granny]

I copied the Salad recipe. I may make it to take to a family gathering on Saturday.
