Ok, I'm jumping at the chance - please put me on your ping list.
Honestly, I find myself reaching for your Clinton Legacy Cookbook far more than any other in my collection. It's truly a fabulous assortment of great recipes sprinkled with just the "right" amount of humor. I made Seafood Gumbo a couple of weekends ago and I'm still getting compliments. Someone wanted a copy of "my" recipe. I was wondering, rather than transcribing it, is there a thread or source anywhere with the recipes that will facilitate a simply copy and paste? Thanks.
And thanks for this thread!
Chestnut & Italian Sausage stuffing!! For the baked bird!
Peeled whole oranges stuffed into the Smoked Bird!!
A 10 foot diameter human barrier around the Deep Fryed Bird!!
And if Aunt Rose doesn't bring 37 side dishes, IT AIN'T THANKSGIVING!!!!!!
Happy Thanksgiving Carlo3b & Family and Thanks for the recipes. :-)
ALWAYS purchase a turkey twice as big as you are going to need for the Thanksgiving meal. That way, there's plenty of left overs. :)
Three rules. Eat food. Watch football. Thank God.
Please add me to your list....THANKS!
HAPPY PRE-THANKGIVING BLESSINGS TO ALL!!!
Carlo, I have been cooking holiday meals for family and friends for too many years to count. (yep, I'm old)
Generally, there are about 20 to 30 people in my home for these meals. I am never shy about asking people to bring side dishes and extra desserts. After all, I do the turkey, the ham, dressing, potatoes, gravy, home made rolls, and pecan pies. Everyone really does love to help.
After the first 15 or 20 years of doing this, it finally dawned on me. The turkey DOES NOT have to be cooked on Thanksgiving Day! What a relief to me to learn this! I always roast the bird, carve it, make gravy, and refridgerate it all the day before. Of course, we don't have the presentation of the whole golden bird on the table waiting to be carved by Gramps, but no body wants to wait that long anyway.
Oh yes, I've been brining poultry and pork for about 20 years. Just have to watch that your gravy isn't too salty.
Happy Thanksgiving and a very Merry Christmas to all! (hope the ACLU isn't reading this)
A blessed Thanksgiving to you and your family Carlo.
THANKS for this thread.

Carlo, I got lucky this year. Since I don't eat Turkey, my momo is making me lobster! YEAH!
Bookmarking...thanks for all your effort...appreciate it
I believe in two major rules:
don't experiment, this is no time to try out a new recipe, everything you're making you should have made with that recipe at least twice already, some of the biggest holiday disasters I've been party to started off with the words "well I decided to try out this new recipe for...", stick to what you know.
raisins don't belong in food, this rule also applies to pot lucks, these types of meals tend to cause people to stick raisins the wierdest of places, raisins are nice for some stuff but not for anything that isn't breakfast or desert and not all deserts.
Let me on , Please.
Now I've got to clean the drool off my keyboard.
Thanks Carlo!!! So glad to see this!!!
YUM BUMP
You can keep the ladels and the teaspoons. Just hand me the remote.
I crock turkey all the time. Two thighs, one can of turkey noodle or chicken broth, garlic powder, some crushed rosemary and a pinch of turkey bullion. Add water if needed so turkey is covered. Let that cook on low for at least 8 hours. Remove the turkey, turn the crockpot on high and throw in 3 cups of uncooked rice. Place turkey on grill for 15 to 20 minutes to toughen up the skin. Rice should be done. TOTAL comfort food.
Found this one on the net (and it's EASY!) -
BAIGAN BHARTA (MASHED EGG-PLANT)
Cooking the eggplant:
Poke the eggplants (say 2, medium sized ones) with a knife, and insert slivers of garlic in the slits. The eggplant can be roasted either in a conventional oven (400 degrees for 30 minutes), a microwave, or ideally, on a slow charcoal grill. When they are done (they become kinda' limp), peel, and mash up the insides. Use a knife to cut up the long fibres.
Seasoning:
In a wok, heat some oil, and add chopped onions, and chopped ginger. Fry till the onions are semi-browned, and then add the mashed eggplant. Add salt, and pepper to taste. Season with lots of chopped cilantro (coriander leaves). Since the eggplant is already cooked, you need not cook for long in the wok - just long enough to mix things up good. Spaghetti sauce or a few tomatoes chopped fine added with the eggplant also tastes good.
Carlo, my man! Long time no post!
I was thinking time was a little tight to get everything done by Thursday!
Hah. My dad called yesterday afternoon and he's coming early bringing his new wife, his child by a former relationship, her child by a former relationship and they'll be here before I come home from work today!
Even with massive assistance we can't get everything done before he shows up!
But it's family time, right? So we'll roll with it.
