We got a nice fresh turkey and drove 400 miles to visit our son to cook Thanksgiving dinner for him and his girlfriend, and ended up having her aunt and uncle, two young cousins, her sister and sister's boyfriend over too. The turkey was stuffed (of course), nice dark gravy, fresh cranberry sauce (never the canned crap), green and yellow beans, carrots, butternut squash, salad, bread and cheese, and apple pie. It was a challenge cooking in a small kitchen in a student apartment with limit pots and pans, and we had to scramble for enough plates and cutlery, but everything worked out great. |

That sounds delish, Shel. Well, it's not really cooking, most everything is store bought, already fully prepared. I prepare the kasha the day before (kasha takes no more than an hour, including clean up), reheat it the next day as soon as the turkey comes out of the oven. So essentially all I do is clean, season, and put the turkey into the oven, put in the well scrubbed yams when the turkey is about half way cooked, and finish the gravy while the kasha reheats (I begin that first thing that morning with the turkey giblets, neck aromatics and seasoning - essentially a rich broth, to which the meat gets diced and added back later, after using the broth to deglaze the turkey pan).... by the time I carve the turkey and put it back on the frame, and arrange some parsley and orange slices around it the kasha and yams are ready... let's toast and eat! Minimalized T day cooking... really no reason to work very hard. Years ago when I'd have 20 or so guests I'd be busting my hump for days before and from early morning the day of, never really did get to enjoy... but now I'll be having my cats and just three humans, and after so many years I have it down to a science, so easy I can do it in my sleep. I know exactly what cooking and serving pieces I'll be using, what to prepare in advance, and where everything fits in the fridge... anyone arrives won't even think I'm cooking, kitchen sink and stove are sparkling, they'll think they found the wrong house, only evidence is the aroma and the olive bottle for my manditory cooking mar2nis, no messy kitchen whatsoever. I hate having to eat dinner at someone's house when their kitchen looks like a bombed out land fill.... means they're slobs and their food is filthy. ---= BOYCOTT FRANCE (belgium) GERMANY--SPAIN =--- ---= Move UNITED NATIONS To Paris =--- ********* "Life would be devoid of all meaning were it without tribulation."

... > For those who celebrate Thanksgiving - what do you plan to make this year? > I'm still trying to figure out exactly what to make this year. I was thinking about a suckling pig, but I'll probably go for a Turkey instead. Last year was the first time I'd prepared a Thanksgiving meal. I ended up with about a dozen people and it went very well. What I can recall that I made was: Turkey Dressing Green beans with pinenuts Mashed potatoes Corn relish Homemade cranberry sauce Dinner rolls. Vanilla chiffon roll (from Baking with Julia. It's excellent) Pecan Pie Apple Tart I know I had more stuff and a bunch of pre-meal munchies, but I can't recall exactly what right now. This year I'll probably stick with the turkey and dressing, but probably change up everything else. I'm almost certainly going to go with canned cranberry sauce. Last year I gave into peer pressure and made homemade cranberry sauce even though I like canned better. I'm going to be selfish this year. I'm thinking I may make some sort of collard greens dish, maybe some sweet potatoes, and maybe some turnip this year. Rather than dinner rolls my Grandmother used to server plain muffins on Thanksgiving. I've tried making those muffins a few times, but haven't been able to get them to taste how I remember her's tasting. If I can figure out those muffins they'll definitely be on the menu. About a half hour ago a pulled my first vinegar pie out of the oven. I won't try it until tomorrow, but if it passes muster I'll be having vinegar pie on Thanksgiving. If it tastes as good as it looks it will be on the menu. Last year I busted by butt to pull the meal together and was exhausted by the time my guest showed up. I'm going to simplify things this year and try to get as much done as possible in advance and spend most of my morning just being lazy. -Mike |

> For those who celebrate Thanksgiving - what do you plan to make this year? > We decided on turkey this year, and will get a ham for Christmas. My husband will brine and roast the bird as usual. I think I will do the cranberry fruit relish and the pumpkin pecan torta that we both like. Beyond that we haven't made many plans, this being the first year we have no family in town due to deaths and divorces. I'm not much in the mood for celebrating. Dawn -------------- PUMPKIN PECAN TORTA Recipe Courtesy of Emeril Lagasse 6 tablespoons flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 4 eggs, separated 2/3 cup sugar 1 cup solid pack canned pumpkin 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/2 cup ground pecans Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 9- inch spring form pan. In a bowl combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and cloves. In another bowl, beat egg whites until foamy, add in 3 tablespoons sugar; beat until stiff peaks form. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks with the remaining sugar until pale, about 1 minute. Add pumpkin and vanilla and beat until well blended. Stir in flour mixture. Fold in egg whites and pecans. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 40 - 50 minutes, let cool 10 minutes, and remove from pan. Serve each slice with whipped cream, mint, candied pecans, or powdered sugar. ---------------- Holiday Cranberry Salad Ingredients: 1 small (3oz) box red gelatin (cherry, strawberry, etc.) 1 apple, diced fine 1 orange, peeled and chopped 1 small (6-8oz) can pineapple tidbits 1 bag (12oz) fresh cranberries, FROZEN SOLID 1 cup fine chopped walnuts OPTION: 1 cup diced celery Pick out brown and soft cranberries and discard. In a food processor or blender chop remaining fruit by the handful until you have about 1.5 cups of finely shredded cranberry. Pick out whole cranberries and re-process. Combine chopped fruit and nuts in a bowl or gelatin mould. Mix gelatin according to directions for fruited or moulded jello. Pour gelatin over fruit until it fills the mould. Stir to evenly distribute ingredients and chill until set. |

> >Ellen For two people I won't go all out. There will be a turkey or turkey breast either smoked, rotisseried or baked. No matter the method, there will be dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy. I like the stuffing the best myself, but can't do that with the first two methods. The turkey will be brined first no matter what. Maybe even injected after, don't want no turkey flu. As for the sides, it depends on what's good when I shop right before. Pumpkin pies are a given, and I use the recipe on the can of pumpkin. I liked baking sweet taters whole with just butter and salt and pepper. Maybe just a nice salad and that will be it. |

It won't be yuca con mojito, I could never stomach that stuff. If I were only thinking of myself I'd forget about the turkey all together and have arroz con pollo. I may make a side of garbanzos with chorizo. I have a question for you. When I was growing up my Grandmother made jelly roll fairly regularly. She was originally from Ireland, but moved to Cuba when she was in her twenties. She pretty much learned to cook in Cuba. I'd always assumed that her jelly roll was one of the few things she made that went back to Ireland. Recently I was doing some reading about Cuban food and read that jelly roll is common in Cuba. So, how about you? Do you think of jelly roll as a Cuban dessert? Thanks, -Mike |
