Remember the high altitude and anoxia, etc? And yup, he was my cousin. Just saw him again a few months ago. He's still there, and now he's breeding.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043527093315561242.post-90199879429016025382008-11-27T11:10:00.000-08:002008-11-27T11:10:00.000-08:00You've had some interesting Thanksgiving dinners! ...You've had some interesting Thanksgiving dinners! My Thanksgiving history is boring by comparison. Where we both agree, however, is that it is all about the stuffing -- actually dressing in my house. It is the one side dish that I eat at other times of the year but I always think of Thanksgiving when I eat it. I can't imagine a holiday meal without it.Dani In NChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032707452740200776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043527093315561242.post-51428654873808941132008-11-26T22:56:00.000-08:002008-11-26T22:56:00.000-08:00I hope whoever makes the stuffing does a good job!...I hope whoever makes the stuffing does a good job!Jenn @ Juggling Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455967210924573398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043527093315561242.post-652842820558253202008-11-26T22:28:00.000-08:002008-11-26T22:28:00.000-08:00I love making pies!

We tried to recreate some semblence of "turkey day" but there were none of the usual ingredients.<BR/><BR/>We wanted to make a pumpkin pie (she had a can of pumpkin filling someone sent her) but we couldn't find a pie pan! So we ended up with a centimeter-high pumpkin "torte." And for some reason this made us laugh and laugh and laugh. Her husband had no idea what was funny, so that made it funnier.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe it was all the wine. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9043527093315561242.post-74792897131561195162008-11-26T17:10:00.000-08:002008-11-26T17:10:00.000-08:00Growing up, I didn't much like stuffing, because m...Growing up, I didn't much like stuffing, because my Grandma favored nasty turkey parts much like the ones that are in my trash can right now.<BR/><BR/>Blech.<BR/><BR/>But now I love it so.<BR/><BR/>Hope you have a splendid day.<BR/><BR/>(PS: I just made my first shoo fly pie with my son.

I have the cornbread cooked, crumbled, and bagged, with couple of cups of infinitesimally-minced sweet onion, and celery, ditto cut very small.<BR/><BR/>It has to be really little to cook completely in the 50 minutes to hour-and-a-quarter that the really-wet-with-stock-at-first pan of dressing takes to bake up, lovely and golden-crusted all around, and still moist and tender all through. I see that lots of people saute the vegetables first, before mixing, but there's something about that great silvery panful of crumbled cornbread, fragrant with crisp onion and celery, with the scent of sage and the decided ping of freshly-grated pepper, even before the stock is poured over---that's a scent-memory that bespeaks Thanksgiving Dinner, and I look forward to that small moment of familiar tradition each time I cook the dinner.<BR/><BR/>And I'm glad it's YOU and not me making those pies---I can make cakes up a storm, but I didn't get a "hand" for piecrust.RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.com
