Hey, Good Lookin’. What’s Cookin’?
Tis the season, baby. Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving at your house or eating with friends or family, chances are you’re whipping up something interesting in the kitchen.
Heck, even if you’re not technically in America, you’ve got to eat, right?
What’s cookin’ at your house this weekend? Anything your family holds as a special tradition that you absolutely refuse to live without during the holidays?
I just read on another site this morning about a concoction called “goopies.” Cloverleaf rolls which, before being placed in the muffin tins, are preceded by chunks of butter and brown sugar. I’ve got to say, that sounds FANTASTIC.
Today Carrie and I will be assembling a carload of bacon-wrapped water chestnuts. Soy sauce and brown sugar will be involved, with a Splenda substitute on a few for the low-freakin’-carbers. Mmmm-mmmm.
Tell me about your kitchen escapades, especially traditions you just can’t give up.
And have a Very Extremely Happy Thanksgiving!
- Stuffed mushrooms. (fresh garlic, parm cheese, bread crumbs, butter, parsley-yum!)
And fresh apple cider. That's my contribution to a feast with friends.
Have a wonderful day!Posted by Suzan on 11/22/06 at 10:51 AM - My mom's stuffing. Nothing weird - no oysters or fruit, just straight bread stuffing with lots of celery and onions and sage and other spices. My mouth's watering...
Have a blessed Thanksgiving, Katy!Posted by Carrie K. on 11/22/06 at 01:47 PM - Suzan--Dang! Stuffed mushrooms and bacon-wrapped water chestnuts together would be oh, so luscious, don't you think?
Carrie K--As God is my witness, I love my mother. But her stuffing is NOT to die for--it's to die from. Seriously. Not a one of her four daughters has agreed to taking over the making of "Mom's Stuffing." And poor Mom really MISSES it! She still says hers was the best EVER. We don't add anything weird, either, but we have started spiking the straight bread version with a portion of cornbread. Um...mmmm.
Have fun, you ladies!!Posted by Katy on 11/22/06 at 01:56 PM - I know what it is now--Mom always added the turkey giblets, neck, and whatever other unmentionables most people would pitch, to the dressing. It turned out--there's no other word for it--slimy.
Dear Lord, how I hate slimy stuffing.
But for everything else, I am truly grateful! ;)Posted by Katy on 11/22/06 at 01:58 PM - i will be having swiss cheese fondue this thanksgiving. its no turkey and stuffing but it will do.

- Kevvie--Man, we missed you on Thanksgiving! But I understand the French women finally got a good look at you. So you made some chicks very happy--even if it wasn't me....WAAAAAA!! Love you.
