I'll be back later this morning. Thanks for coming!

Billie! It's past your bedtime, girlfriend!

Great write-up on Carlo3b. I never knew when I was submitting recipes I was sending them to a pro. Probably a good thing -- I would have been too intimidated!

[ru4liberty]

Congratulations on your day in the spotlight. I hope you enjoy it!

We may have crossed paths a time or two as I did my part toward your financial advancement by frequenting Élan -- if that was the one over off of Yorktown (St. James??) -- and Cowboy. ;-)

Enjoy your day!

P.S. Were you affiliated with Milieu as well or were you in LA at that time?

Congratulations Carlo. What a terrific bio and Thanksgiving feast you've provided.

Thanks once again for the moving tributes to Angelique.

Uhh, it's a good thing you retired when you did. With all those professions and restuarants, it appears you can't seem to hold a job. :)

I do believe your recipes will be used quite frequently by the FR's Finest... crowd. I know I will. Thanks.

Well Done, Carlo! Take a bow!

Atta Boy, Carlo!!!

I continue to be impressed with the members of this forum. We truly are a diverse and interesting lot. Too bad we are continually portrayed as wild-eyed, gun-toting, racist rednecks. Carlo you are a real asset to this place, and Billie you and your bunch are to be commended for what you do. I salute you all.

Wow!! This is a great pre-Thanksgiving thread. Carlo3b, I must thank you, because every Thanksgiving I try one new dish. And I was waiting for the right recipe to present itself to me. Your golden apples recipe looks just right! I will try it and let you know!!

[The Thin Man]

Wake up sleepy head! Rise and shine!

Enjoy your day in the spotlight Carlo! Thank You for sharing these wonderful recipes. I will be making pies tonight for our Thanksgiving celebration tomorrow. I am addicted to the Food Network, so many recipes, so little time LOL. Wishing everyone a wonderful, Blessed Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the thread, Billie...you do such good work!

Carlo!! A chef, eh?? Got any more like you at home...I'm tired of cooking! Congratulations to a great freeper!

I'm so glad to have come on line and seen this thread!

There are posters and then there are those few posters you always look for. The ones whose name makes you sit up, smile, and think, "Okay, what's he got to say today?", because it's always of interest. You're always original and interesting, Carlo. Reading your bio was no surprise, really. Creative ain't the word for you. :D

I share your love of cooking, but you're an artist, I'm a technician. IOW, you can cook without a cookbook manual. Thanksgiving must be wonderful at your house, particularly with all your family enjoying the good eats. God bless you and yours.

Thanks for the ping Billie. Once again you made a most excellent choice in selecting Carlo as freeper of the day. He's one heck of a terrific guy whose posts pick you up when your day is going down hill. His wonderful sense of humor manages to peek through his delectable recipes making them a joy to read and prepare. Congrats Carol3b. You certainly deserve this honor! Happy Thanksgiving.

This was a hard one had my whole family over for the first Thanksgiving in our new home and the first without my dad who was a frequent lurker on FreeRepuiblic. Dad was so proud of all of us here. The Major was sure he had left the Republic in good hands because of us and in spite of Bill Clinton. Most of us in Texas hated to give up our Governor but he has made us so proud as President Bush that we have gotten over our lose quite nicely. God Bless you for this thread Billie and Come on down to Kemah, TX for a Little "Kemah Therapy©" some time.
