November 21, 200421 yr What is your favorite Thanksgiving dish? Is anyone trying something new for their part of Thanksgiving dinner? I am bringing my usual pumpkin bread and for a new dish to our table I am making home-made cranberry-orange relish (where is a lip-smacking smiley when ya need one? ). I don't know which is my favorite - stuffing, turkey or the sweet potatoes.
November 21, 200421 yr How about all of the above....This is going to be my first home cooked meal since August....I'm going to slam! There's going to be no leftovers when I leave...Either I'm taking them with me, or everything's been eaten.
November 21, 200421 yr Has anyone tried deep-frying their turkey? My family has been interested in trying it (not this year), but from what I've heard, it's very delicious. Anyone ever have it? As for favorite Thanksgiving dish. Sweet potatoes are a definite favorite of mine. And then there's the turkey. Probably the best food of the year comes within these next two months...
November 21, 200421 yr Has anyone tried deep-frying their turkey? My family has been interested in trying it (not this year), but from what I've heard, it's very delicious. Anyone ever have it? Yes, it is indeed excellent. You only have to be careful not to dry out the turkey, pay attention to the weight and don't overcook it. I'm going to try something new and roast a turkey on the gas grill for the first time. Alton Brown and Wolfgang Puck bothhad good brine marinade recipes on their thanksgiving shows, so we're going to soak the turkey overnight in a honey and maple brine and slow roast over onions and celery and carrots with apples and aromatic spices in the body cavity. As for a fav Thanksgiving sidedish, I'm partial to that French fried onion green bean casserole that for whatever reason you only eat for thanksgiving. Edited November 21, 200421 yr by FlaSoxxJim
November 21, 200421 yr Turkey day is called that for a very good reason. Stuffing is awesome as well.
November 21, 200421 yr Good luck on that FLA - I saw that Good Eats episode and I was droooooooooooling.... Good Eats, by the way, one of my favorite shows on TV - funny, informative in more ways than one, and usually VERY drool-inducing. My favorite T-Day food is of course, THE BIRD. And my mother-in-law makes a sweet corn casserole that is awesome!
November 21, 200421 yr Yeah, Good Eats has surpassed Jamie Oliver's show on Food as one of my favorites too. I don't know if it will ever knock Iron Chef from the top spot though, for pure entertainment value.
November 21, 200421 yr My dad is gonna deep fry the turkey... My mom makes this delicious broccoli/cheese/rice dish...My Favorite! Me and my bro will watch the Bears game...
November 21, 200421 yr My mom makes this thing called "Disappearing Broccoli" that I love. Broccoli, cheese, crackers, other stuff. Yumola!
November 22, 200421 yr Author Good luck on that FLA - I saw that Good Eats episode and I was droooooooooooling.... Good Eats, by the way, one of my favorite shows on TV - funny, informative in more ways than one, and usually VERY drool-inducing. Good Eats! I like how he explains the "science" side of cooking - it helps me to remember to use certain ingrediants (sp?) while cooking...
November 22, 200421 yr My favorite is the Turkey and the stuffing when it's made inside the bird (like my mom makes it). I miss living at home! Seriously though fried turkey is just nasty to me. I mean we don't eat enough fried s*** we have to add turkey to it... :puke
