And by god, you need to supply at least 1000 gallons of super sweet
tea, you sorry asshole!

And we would never forgive you if you don't sniff each person's ass
hole ass we enter and leave. I'll let a special "thank you" fart as
I leave.

Ignoranus... you are a bigoted asshole. We haven't finished half a
five pound bag of sugar in over 20 years... neither of us uses sugar
in coffee or anything else. Truth is you don't cook because you can't
cook... I'm positive that like most RFCers you live on fast food joint
drive thru... RFCers who constantly speak of eating at fancy schmancy
restaurants don't cook... if they knew how to cook they'd not be
eating that dumpster diver trash that they never post pictures of.

Fortunately I don't know anyone who does that. I didn't grow up with
huge family gatherings. My mother never expected more than the five of
us at the table.

Sheldon doesn't have family gatherings so I don't know why he thinks he
should cook a 13 pound bird for the two of them. Nor show disdain for
cornish hens split in half as a single serving per person. If I were
serving 6 people I'd buy and cook (grill or roast) 3 cornish hens. Take
into consideration all the side dishes that will be served along with at
a gathering. The hens are not the only thing on the table.

Sheldon... that's the troll. You really should do what many people do
and killfile his ignorant opinions.

The only thing I use sugar for is making sugar water for the hummingbird
feeder. Bruce thinks everyone in the US is fat and uses tons of sugar,
drinks sugary soft drinks and goes to fast food places on a regular
basis. He's a TROLL.

My mom cooked for the five of us, never for her four sister's familys,
they cooked for their own family, I guess. There were never any
family gatherings. I know that I had some cousins but I haven't heard
from any in many years, I don't remember their names, for all I know
they are all dead. Our family was not a Father Knows Best Family.

But when Sheldon says most RFC'ers live on fast food joint drive thru,
he's not a troll? Double standards, McBitchy.

Relax. Popeye just brags on his huge food. Like his "PeePee". It's
called magnification.

You certainly know this. Are you hoping for a sex encounter with
Popeye? He will **** your eyes out. Go for it!

That's all for the best Popeye.

If you had been around family, it would have been a disaster.

My mother usually did Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. There were
often as many as 16, and that was before grandchildren came along. She
would invite my grandmothers, an aunt and her son, and some friends who
had nowhere else to go. She did everything, though my brothers and I
would be recruited to help with the last minute stuff.

She always had a great variety of desserts. There would be Christmas
pudding with caramel sauce, dark and light fruitcakes, mince meat tarts,
chocolate eclairs, short bread, brownies and several other types of
cookies.

'Father Knows Best'? Robert Young, Jane Wyatt? I see that show
occasionally on cable TV. Surprise, this isn't the 1950's. Doesn't
explain why you think you need to cook a 13 lb turkey for two people.
Or why a cornish game hen (or two) wouldn't work just as well with all
those side dishes...including your varnishkas. Sorry, I didn't grow up
eating buckwheat anything. No need to claim cornish hens have no meat
on them. Some of us know better.

Yup. Here they sell in 2 packs still and I have seen them at BJ's in 4
packs I think.

They are not as 'cheap' as just run of the mill small chickens of the
2-3lb type but they right size for us.

On size though, I made (for me) good success! I am 108.8 today. Thats
only a little off my goal gain weight of 110.

Exactly. But if i were feeding 6, I might go a Turkey of the 12lb or
so size. It just makes no sense to do that with 2 people.

Your meal sounds fine with me. All I made was chicken. My daughter made a bunch of large quantities of food. It's a good arrangement. She made some biko - a Filipino dessert. It's made with sweet rice, coconut milk, and brown sugar. Hopefully, she'll make more Filipino desserts in the future.

I saw "Run Lola Run" before but I don't remember what happens in the end. I'll have to watch it again, as well as "The Princess and the Warrior."

There are three of us. A 12 pound Butterball turkey was perfect. I have a
half-breast, thigh and drumstick for turkey sandwiches...and a boatload of
extra cornbread dressing, brussel sprouts, cranberry sauce and gravy. We will
run out of turkey first.
What does anyone think of a grilled dressing and cheese sandwich? I´m
thinking about it.

Dressing is what one pours over a salad. Grilling that is quaint.

So for you 'dressing' is something with corn in it?

I was confused by your question at first. Cornbread contains cornmeal which
is a rough cornflour. Many Americans make cornbread dressing. Ours use
crumbled and already made cornbread, ordinary croutons, turkey stock, poultry
seasoning, sage, salt and pepper. There´s nary a kernel of corn to be
tasted.
Cornbread is made from cornmeal, regular flour, salt, baking powder, eggs,
milk and some vegetable oil. Or at least that´s how I make it for turkey
dressing. I add sugar for eatin' cornbread, because I grew up with it that
way.

Thanks. I figured that you weren't going to grill a salad dressing,
but it's amazing how UK English and US English differ when it comes to
food. I also never knew how popular corn and green beans are in the
US. To me, green beans are common, but not particularly popular. A bit
like carrots.

I cook a 14-pound bird for the two of us and freeze the leftovers after we've
had our fill of turkey sandwiches and a batch of Turkey Divan.

What I don't do is cook a thousand side dishes. Turkey, stuffing, gravy,
tossed salad. That's Thanksgiving in the Hamilton house.

Don't be an ass (if you possibly can help it). We have this same boring
discussion with you everything Thanksgiving.

Yeah. Dressing is called stuffing in the U.S. too. What dressing/stuffing is
called is a regional, traditional or family thing. The name may depend upon
which ancestor´s wording won.

That's not true. What did you use the other 2.5 pounds for?

The movie actually has 3 endings but the last one is the best.

Sounds good if heated. Personally, I'd just heat up the dressing
(stuffing) in a bowl and eat it that way. Maybe with a bit of applesauce
on the side.

It does for me as I like leftover turkey for many recipes. Any time I
cook a turkey meal, it's always an 18-20lb turkey. Feeds many and still
with plenty of leftovers.

I even do that size just for me alone. Much more for me. The freezer is
your friend.

Try to watch it all in one sitting, no pause. And don't forget to turn
the volume up. A good sound system is a bonus to have for this movie.
