Patti - Mark's family's cranberry tradition is ours, also .

I'm getting a warm and fuzzy pheeling talking wif me sillies about Thanksgiving

[Green12]

I made a simple apple crisp for dessert tonight--we're having it when DWTS is on later. I had a bunch of apples that had seen better days--sliced them up topped wif brown sugar, Smart Balance and brown rice flour and baked. <droolphace>

Tomorrow, I'm making a spice cake wif buttercream frosting, 5 bean salad (shudder.....legumes, but me son loves it), cranberry-orange relish and my corn/red pepper/bacon side dish. I'm bringing all that to me son's on Thursday.

Sounds so delicious Patti :yummyformytummyface:

[Green12]

Julie, speaking of dessert (because we usually are )--I decided on the spice cake over the trifle since we have an hour's drive on Thursday. I am going to make it for here, though, closer to Christmas. It looks so good.....you must let me know how everyone liked it

We do like talking about dessert, don't we?!?!? Sorry Curly Lisa!!!!

Yer spice cake sounds so good, it's right up there with the trifle I'll let you know how it goes, so far it's going well. I baked the Gingerbreads, so easy with the Gluten Free Pantry mixes. I also bought Kozy Shack already made up puddings (natch gluten-free ) so that will also simplify the process. You have to make it the day ahead, which I love anything that can be made ahead, a big time saver.

I'm getting a warm and fuzzy pheeling talking wif me sillies about Thanksgiving

Me too

I wish the Canadian and U.S.'s Thanksgivings were at the same time

WHAT? bobbleheads and meow-ing are naughty things in Leesah's world? *snort* I'm afraid I"m goign to have to ask you to elaborate on this....

Meant to ask about this meself . . .. . ..I've never heard of "bobblehead" meaning anything but....well....a bobblehead. Those silly figurines on my daughter's shelf - - hockey players, mostly.

Leeeesa, what is the naughty meaning? We all have our suspicions, of course. Tell us this - - is it a word that you provided instructions for making in ASL?

Your suspicions are probably correct.

Hmmmmmm.....my signs were for nice, proper biological terms

I had discussed meow before.....refers to a term used for a woman's body part.......another word for kitty.........starts with a *P*

Bobblehead..............well..........

First let's look at another middle school term..........gobble-gobble..........verb......

If you are performing this activity.......you could be considered a bobblehead..............don't think there's another word used to describe this person ........ . . . . . ..

........oh, I know...........MONICA LEWINSKY!!!!!

So phunnee. . . ...Here I was, reading Jess's recipe, going along thinking, "GREAT!! Finally, a trick to know how a turkey's done! Must be when the popcorn's all popped!"

And I was thinking..........why would you be using Pepperidge Farm stuffing?

CONGRATS AMANDA!!!!!.........how exciting!

I like cranberry relish.......cold. Didn't know people ate it hot. Kroger's Private Selection has an awesome one called Cranberry Celebration.......don't know if it's gluten-free, but definitely not sugar free

[curlyfries]

We do like talking about dessert, don't we?!?!? Sorry Curly Lisa!!!!

It's OK......really....... <snif>

This is my first Thanksgiving gluten-free, dairy free, sugar free.......and I have to fix it.

I hate cooking, but I guess it's better than the alternative.......at least there will be some things I can eat.

I will still fix my phabulous praline sweet potato casserole and a dessert..........I just won't get to eat them.

But on the bright side......I have lost another 5 pounds.....a total of 30 to date! ........this girl is smokin!

[elye]

........oh, I know...........MONICA LEWINSKY!!!!!

Ahhhhhh......bobblehead. Makes perfect sense. . . . ...got quite the visual, wif yer help . . . . ... .

Susie, we're gonna have Pumpkin Pie Cake . . . pumpking pie on the bottom (no crust) and a struessaly type topping made wif a cake mix (NOT made into cake/cakebatter). I had it last week at school (not gluten free) and thought it should be able to convert nicely wif a Pamela's cake mix instead of a regular cake mix. I'll post it if you want.

I MUCH prefer a cranberry relish . . . cold . . . but my (extended) family would only turn their noses up at it (except for me mum . . . she's game for anything). They eat the canberry.

[DingoGirl]

I see many psillies are here, is this Thanksgiving Task Avoidance? I know it's House-Cleaning/Cooking Avoidance for me......

Arnie brought Jooolie a wee mouse!

I wonder if a large dog could carry a Twa?

Well, I don't see why a large dog could NOT carry a Twa, Nik, what say you? Since you have direct experience with these peoples, who live in yer home and dance

And Jules......phorgot to tell you now proud I am of Arnie for bringing you the wee mouse ♥

Canuck Lumberjack Tarts! Throw some pureed pumpkin in for a Thanksgiving theme!

Um, please to tell, what ARE the Lumberjack Tarts? I know we've talked about them bephore but.......I forgot?

My 2 cents on the cranberry......canberry discussion--we make homemade cranberry orange relish by processing raw cranberries, oranges and sugar in the food processor, and letting it chill for at least 24 hours. Mark's mom's recipe and a family tradition.

this is exactly what me mum makes, Padt! Served cold, however.....

I am also thinking of something no bake, what about Pumpkin Mouse Sooze?

Here is an example:

Open Original Shared Link

JULES!!!!!!!!!! You have SAVED ME!!!!!!!!!!!! this is EXACTLY what I was thinking of........went looking and looking for the canned pumpkin today, could not find it anywhere - what in hell? decided to go back tomorrow with recipe in hand......makes more sense!!!!!!!! I was THINKING OF A PUMPKIN-MOUSSE-Y THING!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and BTW, don't you all love how Jules and everyone has been cooking/planning for days and.....I"m just now starting to ponder it? I could not be less interested in the whole cooking/meal planning process...........just FURIOUS about it, in fact :irritatedface:

Patti - Mark's family's cranberry tradition is ours, also

I am watching Big Bang Theory...........OMG...........am SOOOOOOOO scared to say that sometimes that tall scientist Sheldon reminds me of myself when he is doing the fast talking

<and I have been told this by someone else>

seems I should've experienced this firsthand by now ...

The handsome wee lad was out of his depth and has gone to fetch the big chief plumber

W/ his big chief ballcock? ?

I asked them outright!....'are YOU Twa???' ........ the strangest thing happened....

They proceeded to do a dance .. stamping their feet, waggling their tongues chanting 'Twa, twa!'

Most unsettling.....

ROFL what a picture :lol: etc ..

Ptaoughmghmn! The Grey Cup, coincidentally, is grey, but that is not the reason for its name.

Ahhhhhhhhh .. ....coloUr me fascinated!!

(Governor General sounds like a position during martial law)

Argh too much to type still & I have to head to work .. ...more later

I hate cooking, but I guess it's better than the alternative.......at least there will be some things I can eat.

OMG am soooooooooooo with you on this............shows me that God has a sense of humoUr.......strikes us who are bored to death thinking about food acquisition/preparation/planning with an affliction which requires us to THINK ABOUT FOOD and COOK all of the time............ HARRUMPHFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Leesah - SMOKIN' HOT COUGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ooops . . . I meant . . . Fan-Parking-Tastic!!!

It is SO wonderful that Thanksgiving is such a big holiday for you Yanks. ... .. .bigger than Christmas, isn't it? Not so much fanfare up here . .. . we make turkeys or hams, sit at dinner, go to bed early - - very Canadian, I must say. . ......

[curlyfries]

(really miss my dinners of two toasted Pop Tarts wif butter )

Mmmmmm! ..........sans butter...........but loved the chocolate ones!

......and the house cleaning?........mustn't do too much of that........me family wouldn't know what to think.

[DingoGirl]

hmm....bigger than Christmas? Well, in the sense that at Thanksgiving, you are pretty much gah-raun-teed a four-day weekend, and the exact same meal every year (which is generally quite good, when all the right components are there, and they always are, and unless your brother overcooks the turkey, which he usually does ) unLESS you're in retail, and then your life sucks (been there, done that)

[happygirl]

Susie - you guessed correctly

[curlyfries]

I think we are! except - don't you want to live in a warm, temperate clime? I simply can't do that.......plus I'm askeert of the ocean

I suppose that means scuba diving is out?

Thanksgiving here is about families being together and, like Souczie said, the exact same meal every year.... .. . . . . .. ...unless you have a mother-in-law who likes to experiment ...........(she'll be out of town this year )

[Darn210]

Next year, I"m shipping myself off to a Silly's house which will serve yummy g f food........Jules, I *think* Weez and I can drive to Colorado in a day or so?

[Ptaum, you are MUCH closer but I'm not hearing about anything delish or smelling anything coming from yer oven up there ]

I think yer on the right track here, Suze.

Thanksgiving bigger than Christmas??? Not sure about that . . . but I know I enjoy it more. Usually (not this year) get to see a lot of family without the pressure of getting all the "right" gifts.

[Lisa]

Everyone has such wonderful tradition, with the same meal year after year!

The girls will be gone to their beau's parents, but I get them for Christmas. I think I'll stuff the turkey with popcorn and sit back and watch.

[curlyfries]

OMG!!!!!

Sam Hill is a cross-dresser!!!!!!

Don't tell me he's going to be a bridesmaid?!?!????
