Thanksgiving is just around the corner so I thought it would be fun for people to share their favorite recipes. I think this is the 3rd or 4th annual thread.
Take one and/or leave one. ;o)
3 pounds sweet potatoes, baked, cooled peeled and mashed.*
3/4 cup unsalted butter (DAW), divided
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground allspice (You can use pre ground this time, but get a pepper mill to dedicate to grinding it fresh for next time, OK?)
A pinch each salt and pepper
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Reserve 1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar and the pecans for the topping. Mix together the remaining ingredients and spoon into a greased casserole dish. Top with cubes of the reserved butter, sprinkle with the reserved brown sugar and pecans. Bake @ 375 until puffy and topping is GB&D.
I have used this recipe to convert sweet potato hating heathens.
*You can use DRAINED canned sweet potatoes in a pinch, but it won't be quite as good. Not quite as good is still pretty tasty. Not draining the sweet potatoes will also be good, just kind of soupy I've been told.
Bake the sweet potatoes a day ahead. With them peeled and mashed in the fridge, it is a relatively simple recipe to make.
I will be trying a venison with goat cheese and chutney on crustini.
A friend gave me 30 pounds of venison hind quarters and I cannot figure out what to do with it.
Thaw Turkey and wash inside and out.
Put the breast side down in a large baking dish or pan with enough tinfoil to seal up. Insert one stick of real butter and one large fresh apple in the cavity. Insert meat thermometer and seal foil around it. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and cook until temperature reachs 185 degrees. Don't screw it up by overcooking. Delicious and juicy ..
LOL! You can come to my house, South. We are full up with conservatives!
Thank him for it and then give it to the homeless shelter :-)
We have it here. It’s pretty good. $5.99 for a $1.5L bottle
Thank you
Sort of a long drive. I’ll be in North Carolina for Christmas.
I've gotten out of going to Thanksgiving with family before and Mrs. 40 wasn't pleased. Heck, I've even worked to get out of it. I'm afraid I can't do that anymore. :-(
LOL!!!
Virginia is just over the border.

Instead of sneaking cigarettes in another room, you’ll have to sneak a laptop out to get to FR! :)
Thank you!
A footnote to my frest cranberry sauce recipe (post 95):
This makes a beautiful addition to your holiday table. The red cranberries are absolutely beautiful. Just put them in a festive, clear bowl. I save some of the whole cranberries to adorn the top of the sauce.
As I said, don't add anything to this recipe. Anything other than the berries just takes away from their wonderful taste.

I love when the just out of college, newly indoctrinated, liberal offspring of my siblings start espousing the latest DNC talking points thinking they're throwing them in my face. They gang up on their uncle thinking, apparently, that their concerted effort will make their points stronger. Not only do I tell them where they are wrong but I pull out the laptop and show them the proof that they are wrong.
It's generally a hoot but it does get old.
Recipe handed down from my great great grandmother. Every Thanksgiving and Christmas I make four of these; one goes to our son, two go to his friends, one is for our house.
Buttermilk Pie
2 sticks melted butter
3 3/4 cups Sugar
1/2 cup Flour
6 eggs
1 cup Buttermilk
1 tsp Vanilla
Sift together sugar and flour; mix in remainder of ingredients. Pour into two unbaked deep pie shells. Bake on bottom shelf for one hour.
No joke; and the required disclaimer: I've read it many times when in a macabre mood; but have NEVER had the guts to try it.
British holiday menu: Turkey soup; boiled turkey & stuffing; tatties & neeps OR rumblethunps; mushy peas; Haricots verts en casserole; spotted dick for dessert...Them Brits know how to cook & eat! ;-')
