CHRISTMAS PARTY!!! DEC 22nd @ 6 pm

[jason...@yahoo.com]

Frank, Collin, and I all decided that we would have the Christmas
Party at my house.

The party starts at 6:00 pm with a Potluck Dinner at 6:30 pm. Frank
and Julie are bringing a Turkey with Stuffing. Jason and Melissa are
getting all the Utensils (cups, plastic ware, and napkins) and Soft
drinks. And Collin is bringing the Ham.

This is the blog on Google groups about who is bringing what so please
post what you are bringing ASAP.

Some items that we need are: Bread Group (rolls, biscuits, croissants,
etc), deserts, vegetables, mashed potatoes and gravy, and any
additional items you can think of.

This year, instead of a gift exchange, we decided that we would each
bring a new, unwrapped toy and give them to the local Toys for Tots
drive. The Toys for Tots gives toys to needy families for Christmas
and also to children in need after acts of God and such. Please bring
a new, unwrapped toy around $5 to give to the Toys for Tots campaign.

We will have some mixer items for mixed drinks, but please bring your
own booze.

For entertainment we will be doing Beer Pong, Darts, Guitar Hero III,
Caps, and various other drinking games. Since we will be drinking, a
lot, you are welcome to stay over as long as you clean up whatever
mess you make.

We look forward to having some festive holiday cheer, so please come
ready to have a good time.

Jason, Frank, and Collin

Okay, sounds good.  I'm new to this whole eating meat shit, so the way I understand it, I'm supposed to make the gravy using cooked juices from the meatstuff.  That gives it its "special" flavor.... so can we come over early-ish to make the gravy from your meaty leavings?  Also, please to be sending gravy recipes....

[jason...@yahoo.com]

LMAO, our meaty leavings, anyone else unsure if they want the gravy
made with our "meaty leavings"?

Recipe is on the way.

[Melissa]

5 cups turkey stock with pan drippings
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup milk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour


DIRECTIONS
Bring the turkey stock to a boil in a large saucepan. Stir in soup,
and season with poultry seasoning, pepper, seasoned salt, and garlic
powder. Reduce heat to low, and let simmer.

Warm the milk in the microwave, and whisk in the flour with a fork
until there are no lumps. Return the gravy to a boil, and gradually
stir in the milk mixture. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, for 1
minute, or until thickened. Be careful not to let the bottom scorch.

If you dont want to make gravy you can just buy it in powder form and
just add water...lol.

[Sara W]

that sounds like cheating.

[ladyh...@yahoo.com]

It is, but you can also take the drippings and mix with a powder gravy
mix and that worked really well for my family at Thanksgiving.
