I never have made stuffing with 2 eggs. What's the purpose of the eggs?

Eggs work as an adhesive, holding everything else together while they cook/bake.. Please don't be queasy about using raw eggs if you intend to thoroughly cook your food, and use relatively fresh eggs, all this fuss about dying over eggs is just plain goofy :)

A question, and one more suggestion...

When you're starting to clean , after dinner, after you've stripped the meat from the carcass..don't toss it..make stock. put the carcass into a stock pot..cover withy cold water..add any roasted veggies you have left over..throw in a few carrots, a quartered onion..bunch of peppercorns..bring to a boil, and simmer covered for a few hours. By the time you've finished cleaning up, you'll have a pot of delicious stock. Strain, and put the liquid into the fridge overnight, the grease with congeal at the top..you can spoon it off..then divide into quart containers and freeze..When you make soup this winter..it's the best...

Now, the question..

MMmmmm...sweet potatoes.

Thanks for the recipes. I bought a bushel of sweet potatoes from a farmer a month or so ago. I love to cook them in the microwave and eat them plain, skin and all.

Carlo--I had pumpkin ravioli in Rome back in April. They were delicious! Do you have any suggestions in that regard?!?

(You have no idea how excited I am about this thread!!!)

You use the Coke instead of the water and sugar.. The amount you need depends on the size of the turkey and the container..I think it works fine with water and sugar..why waste the $$ on the Coke?..but the taste is different.

That is wonderful about your Dad. Sadly I have a new job this year, carving the bird. Our Uncle Billy usually does the deal but he recently had major surgury and frankly we are lucky he is even coming this year. He always has done such a wonderful job but now I must take over.

It is possible he may offer but believe me, I am not even going to ask.

Blue Eyes (and all),

Don't miss all the recipes in last year's thread

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1278039/posts

Some may be repeated, some may not.

And no, I am not advocating killing this thread and heading over there. It's just a reference.

It's sad to see our parents and their generation slowing down (my daddy is 82). But all we can do is bless them, and enjoy the time we have left . . .

Enjoy your Thanksgiving, and tell Uncle Billy "This Bird's for You!"

I tried that with beef bones, turned out disgusting, grey water. Tried it again, browning the bones first, had to cook it way down for any flavor, what's the trick?

The trick is boiling.. when making a consomme/broth/soup, try not to bring to a boil, and leave it alone as long as possible, several hours, or even overnight on the lowest heat.. Add salt and other spices near the end.. You will see that should do the trick..
