Thanksgiving food...

Thanksgiving food as a regular tradition in your house? (I mean other than
turkey, cranberries, sweet potatoes, etc)
We usually have placek at holidays. It's a Polish cinnamon swirl bread with
chopped gumdrops (fruit flavored...not spice) and raisins in it...and lots of
cinnamon sugar on the top crust...so much there really isn't a top crust. At
least, that's how my grandma used to make it. I'm still trying to duplicate
that top crust!
Next?

nah. but on general hospital, which i used to watch religiously, the
quartermaines seem to eat a pizza every year, cuz something happens to their
turkey. or at least they did during the mid-late 90s, while i was still

this is nontraditional for me, until I can think of something else.
I tried Stovetop Chicken Stuffing last night, for the very first time ever
in my life and it wasn't bad. Almost tasted like my real recipe, in which I
take
such pride and great pains! Next time I cheat, I think I'll saute some
diced green apples and toss them into the vegetable mix...with a pinch
more of Thyme.
I was shocked that it really took only 10 minutes or so.

favorite Thanksgiving food. I figured with everyone taking on diets I might
be able to eliminate some things from the list of things to make. I was
right. So far there are only ten things on the list. We always seem to
stick to mainly traditional things, but sometimes prepare them in a somewhat
untraditional way. For example we had Turducken one year. You have to bone
out the fowl, and then put a chicken with one type of stuffing inside a duck
with another type of stuffing inside a turkey with a third type of stuffing.
Tie it all up and bake, or as we always do, indirect grill. Very tasty. We
have vegetarian friends who do Tofurkey. Someday I'll have to try it.
Other than that, Broccoli Cheese Casserole and Seven Layer Salad are the
only non universal things I guess. They seem traditional to me because we
have them every year. ( The Woodstock theory of tradition) Just like
turkey, dressing, and tripe surprise.

even Jarrod could make it. tastes better than tuna helper, too.

turkey while leaving the carcass (appetizing word, huh?) intact??

We have traditional at home, but I am wrapping up the plans for our

Thanksgiving in the United States! For starters, Canadians "celebrate"
their Thanksgiving in October. And I use the word celebrate loosely because
Thanksgiving really isn't a big deal back in Canada. It's comparable to St.
Patricks Day, which nobody seems to make a fuss over. I notice that here in
the US, Thanksgiving is a highly anticipated event! It almost seems
comparable to Christmas. I'm glad to be celebrating my first American
Thanksgiving this year. :0)

Well, we tried the delicacy about 3 months ago...beats
me what it was supposed to resemble. Kind
of tasted like cardboard, to be honest. ;-)
(and one of us got a stomachache afterwards, so I
did wonder how much msg is in the stuff.)
maybe I just picked up the wrong flavor? What's the
#1 type as selected by discriminating connoisseurs?
In terms of time spent, it seems just as easy
to boil real pasta, nuke our favorite Contadina Italian,
and sprinkle grated mozzarella and olives ontop.

Whenever we weren't having our regular, spicy Indian food, my mom would

We had a Serbian as a guest at our table last year and he thought
the same thing. He had never eaten Jell-O before so I made a big
"molded salad" of the strawberry flavor up, especially for him. He
thought it was *very* strange.....but tasty. He'd never had bread
stuffing either...but preferred the mashed potatoes and gravy..
something more recognizable.
Is that term "molded salad" common lingo? My mom always
calls Jell-O that. LOL
I'm trying to recall.....isn't the big shopping day after Thanksgiving
called
something unique by our east-coasters? That day ought to be a real
eye-opener for you, too, Aaron.
I'm betting you'll find Thanksgiving to be a
very enjoyable, festive occasion. Be ready

I can't say I'm much of a jello connoisseur (gosh, that looks like a typo).
But I have had the molded salad before. It's enjoyable once in a while.

Hmmm... Not that I can remember. We have boxing day on December 26th, but
I can't think of any big event the day after Thanksgiving.
Now that I'm thinking about differences between Canada and the United
States, here are a few other differences I have noticed:
1. Mail is delivered 6 days a week here. Back in Canada, we only get mail
5 days a week (Monday-Friday).
2. Sunday shopping! In the maritime provinces, the malls are not open on
Sundays. Well, actually, in New Brunswick, I think that a law has been
passed which allows malls to be open from 12-5 p.m. on Sundays, but only for
several months of the year (the time between Labor day & Christmas).
3. The lack of full service gasoline stations! Okay, so maybe I was
"crazy" to drive from Nova Scotia to Tulsa. But the moment I hit Maine, I
realized that I would need to pump my own fuel. I had maybe pumped gas once
in my entire life prior to arriving in Maine! And since I left Canada, I
have always ended up pumping my own gas. Full service stations are pretty
much standard in Canada.

There was a wire brush bristle in Mary's food. Lucky for her she decided to
let me try her dish so I actually ended up with the wire. Didn't feel so good
to bite down on. They redeemed themselves somewhat by giving us our meal for
free. Of course since we didn't have to pay for the rest of the meal we
decided to get dessert. :-)

Awww too bad, the dinner was fantabulous! Macaroni Grill rocks!
We will do Thanksgiving at my mom's as usual (I do the Christmas
dinner). Menu will likely be:
Turkey
dressing, mom's best dish (we don't put any kind of fruit in our
dressing down here)
potato salad
green beans
squash
rolls
deviled eggs (my little brother will eat them all)
sweet potato soufflé (me)
broccoli casserole (me)
some tasteless garbage from a can (either or both of the sisters-in-law)
pumpkin pie
sweet potato pie
lots off cool whip :-)

LOL!!! You have a way with words.

Did you know that you can't tell the difference between the low-fat version and
the non-fat version? Yup, it's true! (we did a taste test at one of the
holidays back in MN one year. No one could tell the difference)
and if that isn't random, I don't know what is!

You wanna hear words? You should be around when those same 2
sisters-in-law leave without helping with the cleanup chores (for the
16th and 32nd year in a row).

I can't tell the difference between home made whipped cream using sugar
or sweet-n-low either.

But where are their husbands in this? They could help out,
as clean-up isn't really a one-gender operation? My boys
bus their dishes and try to help out. Some years in our kitchens, it's
been the guys or just the kids who do the dirty detail.

But they all sure do taste different than the real stuff, unfortunately.
The only reaon we have the fake stuff, is because my dad isn't supposed
to have excess dairy intake.....small price I guess to keep him around. :-)

I agree with you, Susan. But their husbands (my brothers) were raised
by my mother, who thinks it's a disgrace on the woman if the man does
ANY cleaning at all. My two sons, on the other hand, are usually the
ones who help me clean up. They are no strangers to dishwater. My
mother and I have very different ideas about child-rearing.
