  1. I use the cranberry sauce in the can.... however.... we have a tradition in our family. I cut little turkeys ( using a turkey cookie cutter) out of the cranberry sauce and make a border of them around the large platter that the turkey sits on. My MIL did this and now that she is in heaven we have carried on the tradition. It makes me think of her during the time that I am cutting them out. She surley is missed.


  2. My DIL does this, but with a whole (large) onion chopped up fine and sauteed in butter and added to the mix. Then for the last 15 minutes remove and sprinkle shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese all over it, and quickly return to the oven for the last 1/4 hour. :hungry: If you like sweet bell peppers, you can add those too, during the sauteeing of the onions.



    That sounds wonderful..... I will have to try that next time... :Green :thumb
  3. I have also seen white balloons relased and/or white doves relased. That would be an elegant touch to any wedding. We used bird seed.... It was fine, but then again it rained on our wedding day.... which is supposed to be a sign of good luck and prosperity in your marriage... We have been married 12 years. :thumb

  4. Chunk up some potatoes and put in a greased casserloe dish... then put a generous amount of butter in there and sprinkle with garlic..... these are wonderful!!!! Bake at 350 for about 1 hour or until potatoes are fork tender.

  5. Ok' date=' perhaps I'll go throw it in the crockpot for tonight's supper! Thanks. I heard of a way to roast it in the crockpot by resting it on balled up foil, but I'm afraid of the juices burning at the bottom if I did that. Anyone ever tried that? Also, do you think it would be ok to put it in there even if it were still frozen in the center?[/quote']



    Actually the correct way to thaw any poultry product or beef for that matter, is to thaw it in the fridge..... never let it sit out on the counter to thaw at room temp. Also, if you have to "Quick" thaw usually done on an item that is for the most part completly thawed out with the exception of the middle or something like that, is to thaw it under COLD RUNNING water... per the NC health Dept standards..... :Green I knew that Serve Safe certificate would come in handy!!!!!!!!!!! :Bleh
  6. We have turkey and ham........ I also use the oven bags for my turkey, and I have never had a dry turkey..... one day I would like to fry a turkey, they say those are wonderful, because it locks in the juice of the turkey. They also said to use peanut oil. Anyone ever fried a turkey before?

  7. I baked a cake for an associate that my hubby works with.... they are having a baby. I did a 1/4 sheet cake, made the icing myself, cut it in 24 squares, and piped pink baby booties on each of the squares..... nothing that I don't do daily at work anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :Bleh I like to bake.... I'll have to try some of y'alls recipes, and post some of my own!

  8. What a game this will be......... our paper said that they are giving Indy 6 points.... I hope that my COLTS can pull this one off.... it will be interesting. We are really going to have to step up our game... it will help that we are playing at home.........


    GO COLTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  9. Tony Dungy is just a first class man and coach.....
    I will get to see my COLTS in person on the 28th... they play in Charlotte against the pitiful Panthers. I don't see much of a threat there.... since Jake is out for the rest of the season. Even with Jake in there, I wasn't worried about winning!!!!!! I may live in NC , but I don't have to like the home team! :Bleh Peyton seems to be unstopable.... they finally have a great team... it would be great to see them go to the superbowl again..... :clap:

  10. vinegar fries are to die for..... maybe it is just because I eat them at the fair.... but all they are are thicker gut fries with skins on, deep fried. Then ya salt them.... I usually go overboard, and then shake cider vinegar over the top of them......................... my mouth is watering..... can't wait to sink my teeth into them :thumb

  11. What is your favorite kind of nut?


    My SIL was in town this past weekend, and brought me a 4 pound bag of pistachios from Costco..... they are sooooooooooooo good.... pistachios have to be MY favorite. :Bleh
