More to come.. :) HOW ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE RECIPE?

[potlatch]

Carlo!! Haven't seen you in ages. My bread stuffing is exactly like yours except I add pecans while I'm cooking the onions in butter.

Thanks!

I love this place...it just keeps getting better.
However, it's over the river and through the woods to grandmother's house we go...though she does put me in charge of the dessert table.

Wonderful Thanksgiving Remembrance. Thanks for sharing it.
Of course, I would've liked to have heard more about the Italian Cookies...

Do you have a casa data recipe?

PEAS WITH SALT PORK

* 1 pound salt pork, diced (NOT fatback!)
* 2 medium onions, sliced into half-moons
* 1 large bag frozen peas, defrosted (fresh peas can be
used if available)

1. In a large skillet, parboil the diced salt pork in
boiling water for 5 minutes. Drain.
2. Return the salt pork to the skillet and brown over
medium high heat. Remove with slotted spoon.
3. Using the rendered fat left in the skillet, saute the
onions until transluscent.
4. Return the salt pork to the skillet along with the
peas.
5. Lower the heat, cover and let simmer for 8 minutes or
until the peas are tender but not mushy.

NOTE: This recipe makes enough for 12 people, but can be
adjusted up or down to suit your needs.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

The Italian family circle is close and tight, and many families still living within their hometown even today, and still live within walking distance of one another.

One of the things I loved about growing up in Philly .. family was always around.

I sure do missed that

Thanks for this thread Carlo

AWESOME CARLO!!!

I stuff my Turkey with the Following:

Red onions, pearl onions, lemons, green apples, oranges, and handfuls of fresh herbs. I like to use sage, mint, rosemary, tarragon,( anything will do).

I don't think my stuffing recipe would be welcome here.. I make two kinds, one with drunken apricots, raisins, fresh herbs abd fresh ground spices- and one with potatoes and they are all carbs and then more carbs!

I make a relish from dried cherries, whole cherries, dried cranberries, orange juice, green chilies and whole cranberries. This needs to set for two days.

And a portabella Mushroom salad with fresh whole fennel and blue cheese.

And then the pies... But I won't talk about that here!

I have to do the traditional menu or everyone complains!

[AngieGal]

Thanks so much! I'll use some of these for sure! :)

Thanks Carlo. Another year another heart attack. My sister still uses the wooden clothes drying rack that our mother set up over the floor furnace to dry the German egg noodles for the Turkey Soup on the third day of the feast. Momma died in 85 at 85

We have learned to buy extra giblets because many times the processors short you. We will have to rethink about brining the bird because of my triple bypass in July and the restrictions on salt.
