So Thursday will be just myself and my mom, and I think I'm going to BBQ a pork butt that day. On Saturday, we'll do a turkey, with mashed root vegetables, candied yams, brussel sprouts, cranberry-orange conserve, and one or two other sides I haven't decided on yet. Oh, and butternut squash soup with apples and leeks that's to die for (I posted the recipe for this here a couple of weeks ago). -- Donna A pessimist believes all women are bad.

Sounds like a wonderful Thanksgiving menu, Bob. Rather than travel
many miles to eat with distant family, the wife and daughter and I are staying home and doing it ourselves this year. I'm a newbie cook, so I'm a little nervous about it, but I think the wife knows quite a bit. Living in southern Indiana, our Thanksgiving menu will be strictly traditional. So far: Roast turkey sage dressing mashed potatoes gravy corn casserole dinner rolls cranberry sauce green beans pecan pie various cookies/candy/dessert bars I will be looking to do something entirely new. I copied down several inspiring vegetable recipes in that thread. I posted here asking for sage dressing recipes. I'll experiment with dinner rolls the weekend before Thanksgiving. I'll use the dough option on the bread machine. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Michael |

YES! I found it on my old PC's hard drive!
Potato Buns Recipe courtesy Phyliss Pellman Good 1 cup sugar 1 cup mashed potatoes 1/2 cup lard or shortening 3 eggs, beaten 1 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/2 to 2 packs yeast 1 cup warm water 5 -6 cups flour Mix together well the sugar, potatoes, lard, eggs, and salt. Dissolve the yeast in 1 cup warm water; then add that to the above mixture. Stir in about 3 cups flour. Add the remaining 2 cups flour while kneading. Knead until the dough is no longer sticky but moist. Let rise until doubled. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Roll out dough to a 3/4 to 1-inch thickness. Cut into bun shapes with a jar or doughnut cutter (or cloverleaf or crescent-shaped cutter) and place on greased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Let them rise until puffy but not doubled (they should not be touching). Brush with milk. Bake until lightly golden brown, about 12 minutes. Yield: 3 dozen. Freeze, if desired. Barb |

Electricity is quite high here,many who bought new homes with
electric heat have either converted to gas/oil or alternative heating systems.The pellet stove has different heat settings,but it puts out good heat at even the low setting.We have the wood stove for backup in very cold weather.Our pellet stove is fairly large and if set on high,it could heat most of the house.Cloudy and 33 here right now,snow is nearly gone.Oil is used to heat hot water. Our farm/homestead; http://www.rocketroberts.com/farmerjoe/farmerjo.htm Note; Do to 'byte' limitations,only a small part is shown,will be updated as time allows. |
