You are so right, Mr. Bill. As it turns out, I flexed my persuasive powers
and I **am** going to be cooking for the whole famdamily on T-Day! I am
very happy. But even were it not to turn out this way, I am indeed blessed
and I need to remember that quite a bit more often. Thank you for reminding
me :-)

Best,
TammyM

Gawd.......you just had to mention the vegetarians.

I don't like turkey and the good news is I'm off the hook for making
one. The bad news is I got roped into making stuffing to be delivered
to Louise at work. There's supposed to be about 30 people and they
are deep frying a 12-13 pound turkey. They're doing a ham too but
they're still not planning very well. Somehow my task went from
making stuffing to making a traditional pan, a cornbread pan, and a
veggie pan. I was also asked to make an oyster pan but the last time
I tried it I threw it out so unless I can come up with a good recipe
in the next few hours I'm dropping that idea. Not being a fan of
turkey I'm lacking in the experience to pull this off comfortably so I
was online last night trying to figure out how I was gonna do it. I
was feeling ok with the plan and have 12 loaves of bread dried and
cubed and made a pan of cornbread last night. I've got 3 quarts of
very rich turkey stock I made over the weekend.

So this morning we were leaving at the same time so I brought Louise
to work and she said: Are you making the gravy tonight or in the
morning? So now I'm making gravy and I have no turkey. Gurrrrr...
Luckily the stock is strong enough because I think I'm going to have
to dilute it a bit to make this.

And if that veggie creep doesn't like it she can learn how to eat real
food. The fuggin pig weighs 250 pounds so I'm sure she can find
something to eat.

Well, you'll be all set for stuffing and gravy...in fact that is a food

Fvckin' A, Lou, I hear ya...

:-)

The problem with the "vegetarians" we know is that they are also ghastly
shit - faced drunks. They are also of the "*******" variety so of course
there are always the requisite fights with the girlfriends and other
assorted dramas. The last time we hosted them about 7 years ago one was so
drunk that she did not even use a *plate*, she put her food right on the
*table* and ate it with her fingers...needless to say no one socializes with
them anymore. Another time they were part of a b-day group at Buca de Beppo
and The Plateless One got so roaring drunk that she went back to the kitchen
to tell the staff how to do their jobs, of course referring to them as
"fvckin' wetbacks...spics...". It took some fancy footwork on the parts of
several of the more diplomatic of us in the party to avoid us all getting
kicked out...GAWD...!!!

So I've kinda had it with that sort of "guest", especially of the "messy
dyke" variety, lol...

I mean I am SO glad that you are choosing the healthy vegan lifestyle in
spite of being a raging alkie and all...your liver thanks you I'm
practically sure!

<chuckle>

I also like the idea of a "set menu", e.g. "We are having this and this and
this, we don't need anybody to bring anything". It can serve to "weed out"
the always - complaining pickier eaters which are a PITA in any case...who
needs 'em...???

The guys at the bar made a test - run T - day meal last night with that
infrared turkey and they will have a big spread on Thursday with both
infrared and deep - fried turkeys plus the sides that they and everyone else
will provide. A few of us will be dining around the corner at a friend's
place and we'll drop by there later...I think by then we will have had enuf
of Thanksgiving food...

Out traditioinal Christmas dinner is standing rib roast and Yorkshire
pudding. The DH has perfected Yorkshire pudding and, although I am
Kitchen Central for the entirety of the meal, save the YP, the DH is
convinced that the dinner revolves around the YP. After the puds are
served with a flourish, he practically goes into a Victorian faint
with the effort <g>

Blue cheese sounds interesting.... I've never considered adding meat -
hmmm. I do have a chicken carcass on hand that I could pick some meat
from. The most pizzazz I've ever considered was dried cranberries
which is really good.

My Waldorf salad is as basic as it comes - apples, walnuts, grapes
(lemon juice and mayo) - celery optional. Yes, it's good!

My standard Waldorf Salad has evolved into apples, celery, pecans
(ideally) or walnuts, dried cranberries and diced dried apricots
(the tart ones, not the Turkish ones). Combine with mayo that has
been mixed with a bit of lemon juice. Not to thick, not too
thin--and just enough to coat things a bit. Not gloppy.

Interestingly, I am also making this for tomorrow, in fact I am making two,
one for us, and one to drop off at the corner bar where they are having two
deep - fried turkeys with all the trimmings...

When I mentioned "Waldorf Salad" everyone said, "Hey, great, haven't had
that for years...". I am making the basic recipe and including some dried
cranberries into the mix. I have three kinds of apples, Fuji and Granny
Smith and some other, OH, and I'm throwing in a coupla nice pears.

It's one of those old - fashioned dishes that everyone likes but few have
encountered lately, I sense a WS "comeback"...!!!

The goofy story got worse. I decided I was going to go get some more
drumsticks to make the gravy and just as I was leaving I got a call
that the guy who was deep frying the turkey had a stroke and was in
the hospital. The lunch party had to be canceled as he is the owner.
So now I've got 12 loaves of bread cubes in the freezer. I'm going to
make pot pies tomorrow night with whatever I couldn't freeze. I did
make a small pan of cornbread stuffing Wednesday night to see how it
would be and it sucked. I used a cornbread recipe posted by OM and it
sure seemed good but I just didn't like it for the stuffing.

Well you've got a different type circle of friends but the oddness is
still common. I've also seen several veggie people who abuse
prescription drugs just as much as alcohol. Pop a few vicodin, suck
down a few cocktails, snort a few lines to stay awake all night and
then have a nice healthy salad for breakfast.

Healthy living at it's best.

Yeah, what about it, Bud! Tobacco is vegetarian, and so is alcohol!

Actually, I think it's funny, also, but I probably wouldn't have told
them that.

aka: "This is a feminist ******* bookstore, we don't have a 'humor'
section..."

Yup, blake, *exactly*, I see that shite all the time...

Then there are the ones that are so vegan that they eschew leather in their
garments and shooze but they don't have a clue about the nasty stuff in
their cigs...or what's in their likker.

One strident lezboe vegan (who smoked like a fish and drank like a chimney)
liked her vodka with cranberry juice. So I said, "Hey do you know how they
*color* that stuff? When cranberries are processed for juice the juice
comes out all clear so they have to add coloring. That red color is derived
from the bodies of a small rare South American beetle...". So she gets all
sickly looking and swore off the cranberry juice for good...

I convinced my sister i had become a vegetarian just so she would not
serve me her awful, home slaughtered meats.
I have no problem with home butchery if the resulting product is well
cooked, but my sister can burn water and otherwise is such a lousy cook
that even her non meat foods are not something one looks forward to
having inflicted on oneself.

The one thing she can do well is make bread, but she wont, preferring to
buy white, "balloon" bread rather than apply the skills our mum was
adamant she learn.

i guess my mental stereotype of 'a vegetarian' didn't match the rest of
their demeanor.

i did once see a young woman with a rally cool tattoo on her upper arm -
the circle-and-cross female symbol with a power fist in the circle. i was
too timid to ask her about it, lest she knock me down.

My observation has been it depends on the reason people have made the
choice to become vegetarian. The ones I've seen who do it because
they "don't want to eat animals" take on an almost religious attitude
and babble on with dogma. They don't seem to give a rats ass about
health but they're very happy to say how bad it is to eat animals.
Our youngest turned veggie at 17 and was a total pain in the ass to
feed until we stopped catering to her. Not only did we find out she
was going out with friends for a bacon double cheeseburger after we
loaded the fridge up with veggies and boca burgers, but we also had a
problem keeping liquor and beer around.

She spent most of a summer down south doing animal rescue after
Katrina. As you might guess they had many vegetarian meals available
for the volunteers. There was also generic beer provided by a
national beer maker. The cans had their name and "not for resale" on
them. These were all minors. When she came home and cleaned her car
I saw empty cans in her trunk. She drove 1000 miles like that.

All these young and ****ed in the head vegetarians did was party their
brains out for a whole summer and save a few animals when they sobered
up enough. I have nothing against of drinking, smoking pot, or casual
sex, but I don't do it thinking that my diet will make everything
"OK."

Pfffttt....don't be gun-shy. Some go both ways. Many years ago I
dated two chicks and found out they were doing each other. One met
another guy and decided she wasn't bi anymore and went off and had a
family. The other just kept packing her nose and is probably dead by
now. The short term scenario was loads of fun though.

Yes I see, the short term scenario could be fun. Dating two chicks at
the same time... doing each other. That's the key right there... Thanks!

<laugh> I dated one before I started with the other. Then I found
out they were friends and the other details started coming out. My
20's weren't exactly a time of looking for anything permanent. I was
lucky if I knew the name of the chick I woke up next to at times. I
think I thought it was fun at the time. <shrug>

But now I'm learning how to cook and all is good.

i have heard that phrase a number of times: 'you only think you're having
fun.' well, yeah, if i didn't think it was fun, i wouldn't do it. should
i do something other people think is fun?

She'll look like shit at 50...I know two lezboes in that age group who had
the whole - arm tattoo thang done 30 - odd years ago. Both had them removed
via IIRC an expensive laser process, that removed the tats but left some
very ugli scar tissue. They now have to wear long sleeves in public *all*
the time...

Aging bikers with those tats are also not a pretty sight to behold...

So kids if yer gonna get tattoos get those temporary paste - on ones, you
*won't* regret it later...

Sounds like me in my 20's, aka "Country Boy comes out and moves to Big City
sexual candy store"...

It's the oldest soap opera in the book...

All you need to do is look at aging/aged WWII, Korean, Viet Nam war
Vets. I've always hated tattoos - there's nothing uglier than a
wrinkled tattoo on an old person. BLECH.

I'm having fun too. My body couldn't handle all the fun I had 30
years ago though. Sunday I spent the day cooking and we had friends
over and just hung around and chatted. Years ago that would have
bored me big time.

We used to hang on Mannheim road in the Stone Park sleezeball area.
Or the area by O'hare that the Snuggery was in. Was a riot it was.

Louise has a tiny sun tattooed on her bikini line. It's very small
and there's no way in hell she could get away with a bikini so I'm the
only one who sees it. After 35 years it looks pretty grim. Piercing
make me gag also.

I've been there. I've also been to some the similar places in Pocono
Pa. Pretty much a waste of money though. Sex is just as good in
other environments. The backyard, the boat, back of a van when I had
one, etc.
