It's that time again! I'm going to cook Thanksgiving dinner
Comments (15)I'll be thinking of you all tomorrow. Our T-day is going to be on Friday this year, because of various travel schedules, not to mention the several people who wanted to have dinner at their in-laws AND wanted to have dinner at DD's. I'm actually pleased ~~ for once, I won't be rushing home from work to start the prep for all the veggie dishes. Five vegs this year: cream-cheese/chili corn, harvard beets, gingered carrots & pears, snap peas (a change from the spinach squares), and a broccoli/cauliflower dish that has a nutmeg/cheddar sauce. Tried this last year and it was a success. 1 big bag of baby carrots, thoroughly rinsed, and the fat ones cut in half lengthwise. Dump in big pot of lightly salted boiling water, let boil for 10 minutes. While the carrots are cooking, open and drain a can of sliced pears -- this year, I'll have to slice halves, no pre-sliced in stock at the store. Put about ½ cup of pear jelly [or pear jam or apple jelly] in a small bowl and nuke just until warm and mostly melted. Stir ½ teaspoon ground ginger OR 1 teaspoon finely grated fresh ginger into the melted jelly. Taste jelly and add more ginger if needed (you should be able to clearly taste the ginger). Depending on how many carrots, you may need to double the gingered jelly. Drain the carrots and dump into a large bowl. Pour the gingered jelly over and stir until all carrots are coated. Fold in the pear slices. For the dinner, it does very well on a warming tray, not going mushy. Have a good day, and may all your Thanksgiving dishes be wonderful....See MoreWhat's for dinner Wednesday?
Comments (17)Mary3444, I think that recipe sounds good. Don't you like it? I could maybe do without the shells, but the rest sounds yummy. Pam, I haven't had bacon for a long time and it sure sounds good. Our tomatoes in the stores aren't good enough yet to enjoy a BLT. I like a one-dish meal like stuffed peppers. Saves so much time :-) Hope you enjoyed it, Shirley. Gee Lynn, I never thought of making broth from ham. Did you use the bone? Your soup sounds warm and filling. Good for a cold night. Georgysmom, I had forgotten I still have a gift card for Bonefish from Christmas 2010. I usually just get the appetizer coconut shrimp and a Caesar salad. Love that dressing! Sue, I really like those fried apples. The portions are CB are so big it's almost enough for 3 meals. I usually get breakfast for supper when we go there. We don't think about CB unless we're on the road, it seems....See MoreLook who I had dinner with on Wednesday night.
Comments (25)Well, looks like I need Victoria advice from Jessy and Ann. :) I am headed there next summer, for the start of another epic bicycle tour. Jessy, where did you stay? I will fly to Seattle, and then see about how to get up to Canada. Haven't done all the research yet. I need to figure out, where to ship my bike, as flying it is getting kind of spensive. Then I will tramp to the same little most northern town in the US, and cross over on my bike. Eventually I will ride my bike south, along the Pacific coast. But my must see place is Butchart Gardens, which is why I will start the trip earlier than the others, that will ride the same route. Moni...See MoreWhat's for dinner Wednesday?
Comments (14)Sue, nothing better than fresh green beans. We used to plant some called Blue ?? Can't remember but they were nice, firm and very tasty. I've never had luck with biscuits, but I'm ready to try again. Raven, you're such a good cook. I saw a recipe on Pinterest where you put all the fajita ingredients in a casserole and bake it. It sure looked easy. Then just wrap in tortillas. Yaya, I like those kind of nights. Ours is usually melty brie with pears and grapes with some kind of white wine. Jasdip, 68 is our normal daytime winter temperature. Glad you like it though--I freeze! People get out the winter coats. :-) Separating meals for the freezer is the best thing I've learned to do. Shirley, nothing wrong with a few carbs :-) We always have mashed potatoes with our chicken and noodles. Just wouldn't be right without them. One thing I've learned is oncologists don't care how many calories/carbs you ingest. Just want you to eat what you can....See Moreravencajun Zone 8b TX
