Lets look at other questions, and solutions to help our Freepers have a great Thanksgiving holiday.
Please lend a hand, and cut loose with your secrets to the best menu ever...

You may as well change your nick - you're never gonna hear the end of this one!

I am surprised by the number of FReepers who use the old-fashioned method of washing their turkeys under a faucet. My oven has a "clean" setting which works perfectly well...

[MozartLover]

Got any ideas for our Christmas pork roast??

I have the stuffing figured out.....the first step involves soaking dried fruits in bourbon.........

[CathyRyan]

I preparing Pork Roast this year...OBL in honor of you.

I just dragged myself out of the cookbook, and I haven't had a chance to read this thread, but I pretty well know you are DOOMED!....Where in the heck do you find a thermometer for this recipe? Is this a secret bomb or what?

[Angelique]

I saw your post on the Ping and Bump thread, and I think you will find Carlo's temps a lot more amusing. LOLOLOL...poor guy's chef's hat went up in smoke!

[FranklinsTower]

bump for future reference!

Don't laugh now but we use vinegar, oil and oregano to baste the turkey. It adds so much to the juices and vinegar is a great tenderizer (as is lemon). Approximate quanitity (although I never measure) is 1/2 cup vinegar, 1 cup olive oil and 3 tbls. oregano.

It requires additional cooking time for the turkey and stuffing to reach a safe internal temperature (turkey, 1800F; and stuffing, 1650F).

And for dessert, your neighbors can toast mashmallows over the bonfire which was your house.

ACTUAL PRODUCT LABELS

• On Sears hairdryer:  Do not use while sleeping.  (Gee, that's the only time I have to work on my hair!)

• On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner!  No purchase necessary.  Details inside.  (The shoplifter special!)

• On a bar of Dial soap: Directions: Use like regular soap.  (and that would be how?)

• On some Swann frozen dinners: Serving suggestion: Defrost.  (But it's *just* a suggestion!)

• On a hotel provided shower cap in a box: Fits one head.  (really?)

• On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert: (printed on bottom of the box) Do not turn upside down.  (Too late! You lose!)

• On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: Product will be hot after heating.  (Are you sure???  Let's experiment.)

• On packaging for a Rowenta iron: Do not iron clothes on body.  (But wouldn't that save more time?)

• On Boot's Children's cough medicine: Do not drive car or operate machinery.  (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction incidents if we just kept those 5 year olds off those fork lifts.)

• On Nytol sleep aid: Warning: may cause drowsiness.  (One would hope!)

• On a string of Chinese-made Christmas lights: For indoor or outdoor use only.  (As opposed to use in outer space?)

• On a Japanese food processor: Not to be used for the other use.  (Now I'm curious.)

• On Sainsbury's peanuts: Warning: contains nuts.  (but no peas?)

• On an American Airlines packet of nuts:  Instructions: open packet, eat nuts.  (have a lobotomy)

• On a Swedish chainsaw: Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals.  (What is this, a home castration kit?)

• On a child's Superman costume: Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly.  (That's right, destroy a universal childhood fantasy!)

Last year, I brined my turkey before roasting it. It turned out beautifully and was the tastiest turkey I've ever made!

[let freedom sing]

How about Halibut, this year?

[Aggie Mama]

Okay, I need some good stuffing recipies. It's our first year to have Thanksgiving at our house (I got out of it last year by being in the hospital having a baby =)). My husband likes his family's recipie and I like my mom's. Soooo, we thought we would compromise and try something new. Any suggestions? This has to be nut-free b/c my mom is deathly allergic to nuts.

Hey! For anyone going camping for Thanksgiving Turkey in a Garbage Can

[damnlimey]

This should wake Grandma up

[rockfish59]

leftovers RULE!

[Angelique]

Recipe from the kitchen:

Could you please clarify this recipe?

Chicken Dems Fried Steak with Pan Gravy 1 1/2 lbs. round steak, preferably tenderized

"Pound the round steak with the side of a saucer until it flattens and tenderizes. Cut away fat, remove bone, and cut into about 4 serving pieces. "

There could be concern about a lawsuit in using a saucer to tenderize the steak. Also, does one use top or bottom round? Wouldn't one cut the fat and bone first before pounding?

[Angelique]

I am sorry, but everytime I come over to this thread, Carlo, I go into fits of laughter about the degrees. This is the funniest thread ever to be encountered! BTW, I followed your instructions and my finished product looked like a nuked Robin. How many does this serve?
