Once we tried the buttermilk in the potatoes, the dish just doesn't
taste as good without it. Have a great holiday, Wayne. |

Never heard of dressing with garlic.Use sage instead, and subsitute
onion powder for the onions.Its probaby the onions that bother her, not the flavor. This is a day the Lord has made,lets rejoice and be glad in it. |

Persons with special diets and those with regligous restricted diets are
not wackoos, nor are they necessariy full of anything, they have a preference and that is okay. If you enjoy this persons company, and want them to attend, just tell tem what you plan to serve, and if that is a probablem, tell them it is ok to bring dishes that they can eat.If they forget to do that,then it really is no longer your problem. You might be concerned, if they forget to bring their food,is there an underlying problem, are they elderly,do they have alsthimers? If so, don't make a big deal, there are always tossed salads, or fruit salads to give them. This is a day the Lord has made,lets rejoice and be glad in it. |

other emails and didn't sign them. will try to do better. With that said, let me tell you about our traditional Thanksgiving dinner. Things have changed a lot, I use to prepare for 14 or more,but everyone is off in other directions, they have grown chidren and grandchildren, and their kids have inlaws to consider, I will be with my daughter and family and there are only 4 of us, but the meal hasn't changed much.We will have Turkey and cornbread dressing, giblet gravy, candied yams, greenbean casserole heavenly hash fruit salad,cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes,and lemon icebox pie and chocolate pie. We eat the left overs till they are gone. HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Dee This is a day the Lord has made,lets rejoice and be glad in it. |

It makes cooking for her a creative challenge some times, esp. as the other Best Bud is a fishitarian and OBB's husband is an omnivore, but has discovered he is horribly lactose intolerant. I'm exploring Asian food options, big time. Taking a sushi making class. But I have been known to keep portions out. They will all be at Thanksgiving, but Onion Allergy will probably be told to avoid the dressing (no problem as she loves mashed potatoes), Fishitarian is getting a salmon steak, not turkey, and No Dairy will probably take a lactaid or three and eat what he likes.

Pre-heat the oven to 325F. 6- 8 tart apples (I love Winesaps when I can get them, but really any favorite cooking apple will work) Peeled, cored, and cut into 1/2 inch slices. 6- 8 slices of bacon, chopped into 1/4 in pieces 1 Shallot or small onion, chopped. 3 tablespoons brown sugar Fresh nutmeg Fry the bacon pieces just until crisp. Set aside. Drain the bacon fat from the pan except for about 2 tablespoons. Sauté the shallot/onion on medium heat for 2-3 minutes until barely golden. Add the apples and saute another 2-3 minutes. Turn off heat. Toss in the bacon and mix together. Put the apples-bacon mix into a casserole dish. Sprinkle with the sugar and nutmeg. Cover. Bake for 15-20 minutes until apples are tender. If you don't like bacon fat. After you cook the bacon, drain off all the fat, and saute the apples in 2 TBL of butter and continue on with the basic recipe. A splash of apple schnapps, or brandy before baking is good too! Enjoy, Steve |

I've/we've done the same thing... I simply rationalized that the rolls didn't matter because there were so many other (starchy) dishes.
