Favorite Thanksgiving Food
southendmd:
Damn, I'm getting hungry reading all this.
Stuffing! I grew up with Pepperidge Farm stuffing from a bag, but now I prefer wild rice and chestnuts with lots of herbs. YUM
Also, homemade gravy: I put all the giblet and goobly bits in a saucepan with red wine on the back of the stove while the turkey is cooking, and use that as the base for gravy. Just can't go back to store-bought.

Just kidding. :laugh:
PS How do you cook a turkey dinner in three hours? Do you think she microwaved the turkey?

I guess it depends on how big the turkey is. I was just watching a cooking show last night and they quoted a cooking time of just under 3 hours for a 12 lb.

True. But that's just time in the oven. Then there's all the prep before and after.
I've only cooked one Thanksgiving dinner and it took me all f'in day (in fact, I was in tears by 10 a.m.). But even cooks who seem much more adept than I am seem to take longer than three hours.

You all know we don't have Thanksgiving over here, so no traditional turkey. Confession time: I never have eaten any turkey my whole life.
But I do love mashed poatoes and I love to make little lakes in it. No kidding, Mel ;D
Can someone explain the cranberry cauce to me, please? It sounds yummy, but I have no idea whether my association is correct. Is it sweet? Or sweet and sour? Do you eat it together with the meat? Or is it for dessert? Or is it more like a regular brown gravy(not sweet), only with a hint of friut?
