We decided to deep fry a turkey as well. So we'll have lechon and turkey. ---- My baby is cuter than your baby! | |||

David's aunt has kindly offered to host Thanksgiving this year, so we don't need to worry about cooking, cleaning, etc. We were told just to bring the baby and some light hors d'ouevres  I will report back on the menu!~ Non-Mod-Amy, aka Amy of the Lost Ark You are a Bookholder.

We're gobbling at my big bro's house, and there will be 16 of us. On the menu: Smoked Gouda baked in crescent rolls as a starter Cucumber salad Jello salad (don't ask...it's something my bro's stepmom is doing and it's basically a slice of jello sitting on a lettuce leaf. Ugh.) Turkey (roast) Ham (baked) Shrimp stuffing (my grandmother gave my mother this recipe quite literally from her death bed) Plain stuffing (for TLOML, who likes nothing in his stuffing but bread) Cranberry relish With pears poached in coffee (my mom's making this) Canned cranberry sauce (for the "I like my cranberries gelatinous and tubular" set) Mashed potatoes Gravy Candied Sweet potatoes Green Bean casserole Asparagus Spinach gruyere gratin ( My contribution) Pumpkin cream pie Apple pie (I'll be attempting my MIL's recipe...it's baked in a paper bag...wish me luck) I plan on wearing elastic-waisted clothing to thanksgiving dinner. The only thing missing, I think, is the WHOLE ROASTED PIG. *jealousy*This message has been edited.

How can you possibly deep-fry a turkey, except in a commercial fryer? *********************** "bring on the be-tentacled oppressors" - fluffyllama | |||

My uncle has a dedicated propane turkey fryer. We almost set fire to the grass the first year. We keep the hose nearby. ---- My baby is cuter than your baby! | |||

Good grief on the turkey thing. I think next time I want a massive piece of meat cooked (I hardly if ever do), I'll ask the guys in the shop downstairs with the rotisserie thing to do it for me. One of the contractors said that he got them to do a massive leg of lamb, and it was amazing.
What does the paper bag do? *********************** "bring on the be-tentacled oppressors" - fluffyllama | |||

The bag is supposed to prevent the top crust from over browning while allowing the filling to bake up nice and melty. All I know is its the best apple pie I've ever had and she insists the secret's in the paper bag.

Yay! I found a reasonably sized and priced turkey breast, so turkey and gravy and mashed potatoes and stuffing and carrots and corn and pumpkin pie! I should ask Steve if he wants some sweet potatoes and I usually make cranberry sauce and squish out all the seeds, but I think this year I will just buy a can of it! I baked bread yesterday, so I have a loaf to cut up for the stuffing. And I don't know what possessed me, but I'm also doing spaghetti and goulash today.

Fake turkey (Quorn; no tofu) Mushroom gravy (my gravy is very good) Stuffing (not stuffed into anything) Mashed potato (locally grown) Roasted root vegetables (mostly locally grown including sweet potato, celeriac, beet, parsnip, carrot, turnip, onion, and some other thing I forgot the name of…) Cranberry sauce (made from scratch with cranberries) Pies (pumpkin and apple, probably) ____________________________ Formerly known as: 男の子™ (or not, since no one can pronounce that).

So, reporting back as promised, we had a pretty standard (and very yummy) T-day meal: Turkey Green beans (not the casserole, just the beans) Corn Stuffing Cranberry relish (had pieces of various other fruits in there as well) Mashed potatoes Gravy David & I brought raw veggies and dip, crackers and cheese (Havarti and Huntsman), and a warm garlic herb dip with bread pieces for dipping as appetizers. Dessert was an apple crumb pie. NOM. ~ Non-Mod-Amy, aka Amy of the Lost Ark You are a Bookholder. To prompt, or...LINE! (not to prompt) --not to prompt. That is the question.

Back home, WHOLE ROAST PIG or LAMB or GOAT is pretty standard main course for Christmas Eve/Day. ETA: I had to google 'green bean casserole'... It might be one of the most bizarre dishes I've ever read about. And I only just found about it now! Love this board This message has been edited. Last edited by: cloverheart,  | |||

It pretty much got invented by Campbell's Soup Company to sell more of their cream of mushroom soup. I usually don't like dishes invented by a company just to sell more of their product, but I make an exception for this because it's so darned tasty, and because the best recipes don't use their brand. __________ AJGraeme "Why are there ghosts in the kitchen punching each other in the balls?" - Aidan, "Being Human" "Christianity has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and not tried." - G.K.

Ah, but has Anthony Bourdain called your WHOLE ROAST PIG the most delicious he's ever tasted? I THINK NOT! ---- My baby is cuter than your baby! | |||
