BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's prime minister on Saturday urged his countrymen to accept the impending verdict against Saddam Hussein without violence, then in the next breath declared the former dictator must get "what he deserves" with the decision that could send him to the gallows.

I think I'm going to try this for Thanksgiving .. saw it made on the tube, and it was so easy to make and looked yummy:

Flan

1/3 cup sugar
5 eggs
1 (14 oz.) can sweetened condensed milk
1 can evaporated milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 (8 oz.) package cream cheese
2 tablespoons Kahula (optional)

Place sugar in aluminum loaf pan. Hold loaf pan over low heat, moving pan from side to side until sugar is completely melted and golden brown. Swirl to coat sides and bottom evenly with the sugar. Set aside.

Beat eggs and cream cheese well. Add sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk and beat until blended. Beat in vanilla. Add optional Kahlua if desired.

Pour mixture into aluminum loaf pan and place in a larger pan containing 1" hot water. Bake at 350 degrees 1 hour, or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool; then turn over on a serving plate.

CNN covering ... no video just yet, just reports from reporters there in room.

Ramsey Clark kicked out? He should have never been there in the first place.

[Sally'sConcerns]

First verdict...against co-conspirator.

Case not proven so he'll be released.

[null and void]

Fox finally.

1st guy up--NOT PROVEN!!!!!

Most flan is non-alcoholic, and some people put whipped cream on top.

[REDWOOD99]

At behest of prosecutor.

[verum ago]

does anyone else find it odd that there are recipes being swapped on a Saddam Hussein verdict thread?

[MHT]

What an incredible sidebar--baking flans contrasted with executing Saddam.

[Steven W.]

he was a "round-up" guy who claimed he didn't know what would happen to them. Lawyers for next 3 guys just left (?)

Mmmmmm, that turkey lasagna sounds good. I'm going to have to put a link to these food posts on the Thanksgiving thread, lol!

Been trying for two days to drum up some business for that thread! Here it is:

I make a fabulous lasagna, but like most everything I make, I do not follow a recipe --- I just "know" the ingredients and how it's supposed to look, layer by layer. I always make two layers with spinach and ricotta cheese... seven layers altogether.

[null and void]

No. Why?

[Allegra]

So what is the exact time the verdict is supposed to come?

"Exact time" and "Iraq" don't blend. There's probably not even an Arabic phrase for "exact time." LOL
