Re: Thanksgiving

Re: Thanksgiving

I made a spinach salad with a homemade balsamic dressing. The salad also contained sliced pear, cranberries, red onion and chopped toasted hazelnuts. It was my attempt to add something a bit...

Re: Thanksgiving

I did roast them first! Still a giant pain and I couldn't get them all off. Oh well, good enough I suppose. :)

Re: Thanksgiving

Re: Thanksgiving

It might be quite a hassle, but it would also keep the bird out of the oven. I think I'm leaning toward skipping it this time ... but we'll see what my husband decides! I've never had it and have...

Re: Thanksgiving

My father is convinced that we'll end up with third degree burns if we try this and that it's a terrible, terrible idea.

Re: Thanksgiving

Hmmm ... so now OH is thinking he may want to try deep frying a turkey (or two) this year. Supposedly it's easy and the turkey is phenomenal. Has anyone done it?

Later today we'll be making my mother's cranberry recipe. :) If anyone's looking for one, here it is. Even the relatives who don't normally like cranberries seem to like it.

Re: Thanksgiving

I haven't tried that but I bet you're right!

Re: Thanksgiving

I would happily eat turkey for both, my mother's homemade turkey soup (for the days after Christmas)...
