Yes, that is a good one. I am not sure if I have it from before but I will save this one. I belong to some of both kinds of groups. This one and Chocoholic Club have a lot of good chat along with some recipes. I am in three recipe tagging groups, and a clouple others with mostly recipes only. I enjoy the chat much more now than in the early days because I am using Outlook Express and I think that is faster to work with than Eudora that I was on before.

Hope you like this, Don Twas the night of Thanksgiving Twas the night of Thanksgiving, but I just couldn't sleep. I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep. The leftovers beckoned -- the dark meat and white but I fought the temptation with all of my might. Tossing and turning with anticipation, the thought of a snack became infatuation. So, I raced to the kitchen, flung open the door and gazed at the fridge, full of goodies galore. I gobbled up turkey and buttered potatoes, pickles and carrots, beans and tomatoes. I felt myself swelling so plump and so round, 'till all of a sudden, I rose off the ground. I crashed through the ceiling, floating into the sky with a mouthful of pudding and a handful of pie But, I managed to yell as I soared past the trees . Happy eating to all -- pass the cranberries, please. May your stuffing be tasty, may your turkey be plump. May your potatoes 'n gravy have nary a lump. May your yams be delicious, may your pies take the prize, May your Thanksgiving dinner stay off of your thighs! WISHING YOU ALL A HAPPY THANKSGIVING. __._,_.___ ----- Original Message ----- From: Lora Leggett To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2009 6:43 PM Subject: Re: [RecipesAndMore] Thanksgiving I think I forgot to say that Debbie said to do it with a fork or a whisk. I used a whisk which I have rarely done before. I also used kind of a small saucepan. it was also real butter, not margarine. it wasn't the expensive kindlike Land O Lakes, it was from Savalot and it's about two dollars a pound instead of four. But I think it worked out and I want to do more to make sure I didn't just get lucky that time. I notice you spell your last name almost like my first name except with an H at the end. That is funny. I guess a person could be Lora Lorah. My grandmother was Laura, but my mother decided to spell it different, whoever knows why.

I'll try it your way. I am making turkey burgers today, a change from just turkey, nice to hear some cooks are cooking, Try the Amish pie crust, nelts in your mouth from Northstar, Don ----- Original Message ----- From: Lora Leggett To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, November 28, 2009 12:48 PM Subject: Re: [RecipesAndMore] Thanksgiving Hi Don, That sounds interesting and different. I have always had a nightmare making gravy. My daughter Debbie is also a good cook so I asked her what I should do. She said take equal parts of butter and flour. Melt the butter and then whisk in the flour. She said I didn't have to do it on high because it moves very fast, so she said to do it on medium heat, it might be easier and it was. She also said to chill my turkey pan drippings so I could skim off any yucky fat if there was any. Then she said have my juice or broth ready there because as soon as the roux was ready to add it right away, mix it, then turn the heat down. I added some chicken bouillon and a little water to my pan drippings and it worked quite well, non of those yucky flour lumps, no corn starch and cold water slurry thing. I am definitely going to try it again. We had it with stuffing and today i am going to put some turkey on bread and put the rest of the gravy.

Finished with a mince pie with flaky crust (Amish, Northstar) Anyone have any cooking experiences to share?
