Quite right Goz, and I bet your gravies are blindingly good. Some things are, as you point out, VERY IMPORTANT.

Count! If you are going to bake your butterball turkey breast, you should be able to get enough drippings or fat or juice, to be able to make a small amount of gravy. I would augment the fat with a little butter and add a chicken stock cube and a little plain wheat flour and make your roux and then add some white wine and make a respectable gravy!

Oh "Elizabeth," when are we going to end this charade? AND IDIOT COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT I WAS SAYING YOU STUPID IDIOT. If you'll look back three or four pages you'll find that an idiot who was pretending to be smart couldn't figure out what you/I/we were saying and is still in the dark about this whole thing because he can't follow simple directions. Can't you and I just get along? We do have to live...

Canned gravy? What will they think of next? Canned pumpkin? Close..”tube gravy” I suppose... ...at least that’s what’s included with my Butterball turkey breast. It’s this bag of icky g00 that comes with the frozen breast and you’re supposed to mix that with the drippings and (milk?) or some such nasty sounding thing...eech!! It tastes just like you’re afraid it...

people will be sitting around your Thanksgiving table? We used to have to many that the children had their own little table and were fed first. Made for a calmer dinner for the adults!!

Hell I'm a Celt (true Celt that grew up in Celtic country that is, not a pseudo 12.75% fair-weather Celt), how many stories do you want? I think my worst probably wouldn't be suitable for this board! I woke up in a telephone box in Galway on New Years Day with a young lady who was half frozen to death as she'd lost her tights and shoes, then had to take her home to my friends cousins house and endure the interrogations of the...

Better Than Peanut Butter is required to be refrigerated once opened. Just sayin'. love , P O P

That made my day. Thank you.

You've covered all the bases admirably except- where's the pumpkin pie? With a big dollop of whipped cream. My family recipe for traditional candied sweet potatoes is pretty simple. Peel sweet potatoes and cut into large chunks. Boil under just tender and drain, set aside. Use about one and half potato per person and plan on leftovers. This recipe will accommodate 4-6 medium sweet potatoes. While the potatoes cool down, melt 1/2 cup...

Thanks for the info, Mrs. G.. Making hard candy could be a fun new adventure. I've never tried to find cinnamon oil, either. Nor, am I familiar with oil of cassia. Cinnamon is a favorite flavor, of mine, so this will be interesting all around.
