This Thanksgiving, between expressing our thanks for all that Obama hasn't taken away yet and enjoying some tasty turkey, let us eschew politics for at least one day while we enjoy the company of kith & kin.

Many brands of hot dogs get REAL UGLY (split wide open) when you heat them in the microwave.
Solution
Wrap them snugly in a paper towel first.
They cook the same but don't burst!

4 ounces - about two good glugs - of the cheapest, nastiest slivovitz you can find. Blackmarket and bootleg, for preference
4 ounces ginger ale - whatever's on sale, so long as it's not that sugar-free crap, and avoid anything that costs more than about 75 cents a liter
ice, if you've got it and really need it, you pansy.
Drink up - the world is ending, but not before last call.

Cranberry Relish
1 lb fresh cranberries
2 small red delicious apples
1 lg can crushed pineapple
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup sugar
2 small boxes cranberry or strawberry or raspberry Jello
2 cups boiling water
Grind the cranberries and apples. Mix with pineapple and pecans. In a separate bowl, mix sugar and Jello with the boiling water until dissolved. Stir the liquid into the fruit mixture.
This recipe makes a beautiful mold - spray the mold with Pam first so it comes out easier. You can also substitute Splenda for sugar, and use sugar free Jello.

and Pumpkin Cheesecake Pie.
Somebody wanted a recipe for Scalloped Potatoes. This is the one I use:
2 lbs potatoes
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tbsp butter
Peel and slice the potatoes as thin as you can. Heat 3 tbsp butter in saucepan until melted. Add flour, salt and pepper, stirring to mix. Cook over low heat until bubbly and smooth. Stir in milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir for another minute.
Arrange spuds in a greased 2-quart casserole in 3 layers, topping each of the first two layers with half of the onion and 1/3 of the white sauce. Top with remaining spuds and sauce. Dot with butter (cut the tablespoon of butter into quarters and drop each one in a different quadrant).
Cover and cook in 325 F oven for 40 minutes. Uncover and cook another 60-70 minutes. Let stand 5-10 minutes before serving.
Yes. It takes 2 hours from start to finish.

Figure out how much meat - if it every had a face, but didn't live in the water, it counts - you have.
Get the same weight, more or less, of cut potatoes, kraut, and roughly chopped kraut.
Put all that crap in a big ass crockpot, and cook on low heat until the meat is done and the house smells like the German invasion of the Sudetenland.
You're welcome.

cream of wheat > oatmeal > grits*
There's also something called "Cream of the West" which is supposed to be a breakfast food, but to me it was too chewy for breakfast. This is what's in it: "perfect combination of seven Montana grown grains: high protein hard red spring wheat, soft red wheat, soft white wheat, oats, barley, rye, triticale, and spelt"
*Shrimp and grits being the exception, but that's not breakfast.

Something we've just started doing with Brussel Sprouts:
LOVE pan-roasted snouts, but they take a while for proper browning. Recently started slicing them in the food processor (this goes REALLY fast), the toss with EVOO, salt, pepper and garlic powder, and THEN sautéing.
Yum (and easy)!

Oatmeal's pre-hockey food (morning times), bland and filling. Instant is fine. Mac and cheese best for night games.
No cooking this year. Well, a very simple sweet potato/banana/pecan/peeecanh/etc. baked thing, which the SIL normally does. Oven died recently, so idea of reprising the killer sweet potato pie made last year was kaput.
About to see if the slow-cooker veggie chili is any good, probably needs seasoning adjustment. Over-filled the damn thing, too, right up to the brim/ledge for the lid. Many many excellent slow-cooker recipes to come, now that temps have dropped enough (cool, no real cold like all those exotic places some y'all live).

I've made pizza dough with the dough blade, shredded all sorts of stuff with the shredding blade, sliced, etc. Also make hummus in it all the time. Had it for about six years now and it is a workhorse.

Different people react differently to drugs depending on details of their unique biochemistry. Combinations of drugs are even hairier. So a doc is confronted with a problem, maybe several. He's got to throw various drugs at it. WIth each one their is risk vs benefit profile.
With this particular drug X, there is a 10% chance it will cause this side effect, which could be really bad or just a minor hiccup. And when drug X is combined with Y, that might up the chance to 20%.
Doctorin' is far from an exact science. Far from it.

Chopping, probably not. It will shred, it will slice. All of the above listed veg. But it will more or less puree before it chops. So, you shred, slice or puree. I use it with onion and garlic to make a paste I fry to make an Indonesian dish.

Thanks for asking, she was judged to not be in good enough shape for the surgery this AM, but is recovering and the new schedule is for Friday afternoon (thanks to Thanksgiving). She's a highly likely candidate for a pacemaker in the very near future, but things look a little better than they did last night. Still a very scary situation, and all prayers and thoughts from here are appreciated!

Do not mock the true Dickensian mincemeat.
Brisket, braised until it falls apart, a little suet (I use the fat cap from the brisket), raisins, currants, chopped orange and lemon peel, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves, and chopped apples/pears. Put it in canning jars, cover completely in brandy/whisky/whatever is in your liquor cabinet, and let sit on the counter for weeks. Drain, heat in a skillet to drive off some of the spirits, cut with about 4 cups more chopped apples, and put in a pie. Bake. Achieve foodgasm.

2-3 cinnamon sticks
1 tsp ground nutmeg
orange slices
1. Place cloves and allspice in cheesecloth bag or tea ball..
2. Combine spices and wine, 2 cinnamon sticks and nutmeg in slow cooker
3. Cook on high 1 hour, Reduce heat and simmer 2-3 hours
4. Garnish individual servings with orange slices or cinnamon sticks

It needs to be a real ham, not one of those canned jobs.
Before you roast it, put it fat side up in your pan, then score the fat/meat and slather it with some sort of sweet glaze. I prefer a mixture of honey and mustard. Stuffing whole cloves in at the vertices of the score marks is optional.

Not with the extras it comes with. There may be a dicing disc out there, but all it comes with are two blades (puree/chop and dough), and a slicing disc and a shredding disc.
I dice by hand with a knife if need be.

When Einstein delivered his paper on General Relativity, he also proposed a series of empirical experiments that he had imagined would prove or disprove the Theory. He said, if the experiments failed, then the Theory should be discarded.
I think it took about 17 years after the delivery of the theory to complete the proofs.
Even now, we know that General Relativity only explains some parts of the Universe. Einstein, as weird as he was at times, understood how science actually works. Unlike certain modern alchemists who think that switching a light off in your house can change the temperature of the ocean.

let sit so the apples juice, a couple hours.
strain apples and reduce liquid by 1/2 to 2/3.
add thickened liquid back into apples,
fill crust and bake as usual.
it still boils over a little, but not as much,
and the flavor is more intense.

So many ingredients. So much dicing. It takes me about an hour to prepare the ingredients, then I need to take a break before I cook them.
It's not difficult, but it's a lot of work, and a lot of cleanup afterwards. It's hard for me to overcome the inertia and get started. It's much easier to just heat up a can of spaghetti and call it a night.

I picked up a box of frozen gluten free (shut up) macaroni and cheese, which you'd kind of expect not to be that great (though the small Amy's brand was good for a while, if expensive) - it had ONIONS in it.
It's fucking macaroni and cheese. Don't put onions or okra or shrimp or weeds or whatever in it.
Restaurants used to understand (not that most would used boxed frozen food) that certain menu items are just there for people who cringe at the rest of the menu. For whatever reason - isolation, phobia, allergies, whatever.

Did something this morning never did before and I'm right at 67 years on this here earth. After frying thick salt cured ham steaks for breakfast, I ate the marrow from the round piece of bone. Very tasty. I can't recall doing that before and been eating ham all my life. What a day! Have eaten green grapes, pork sausage, ham, raw oysters, a boiled egg, both pecan and sweet potato pie, and fresh banana peppers. Drank lots of water, 2 cups of chicory coffee (one with Kahlua), one Pabst blue Ribbon, one big Stoli bloody mary, buttermilk and eggnog. I'm blessed and satisfied.

He made spotted dick once on his show (I was in either Junior or Senior High School). It looked like a big dick. Probably tasted good.
He told this joke once.
A man was lost in the desert. As he is walking he comes across a cricket ball. He thinks "What is a cricket ball doing here?" He walks some more and finds another cricket ball. Again he asks himself "What is a cricket ball doing here?"
He walks a little more and finds
A castrated cricket.

official difference from an online meat seller:
"Suet is the hard fatty tissue from around the loins and kidneys of beef, sheep, and other grazing animals that is used in cooking. Suet is rendered to make tallow. Lard is rendered fat, which most often comes from the fat of the abdomen.... Finally, tallow and lard have a texture similar to vegetable shortening."
So my bad, there is a beef lard and a pork lard.

Cake in general is just awesome. It's funny, there is a picture of me celebrating my first birthday, with the cake in front of me. My hair is sticking up, I have chocolate on my face and a look of crazed delight on my face. I had discovered cake and how good life could be (or maybe it was the chocolate).

The form of magnesium matters. Many magnesium supplements have crappy bioavailability when taken orally.
Some individuals can't pick up Mg from tablets no matter what form it is in. I knew someone with severe migraine trouble who was helped by mag dosing. She went through every tablet you can name, trying to get her serum levels up, and finally just had to have magnesium administered intravenously once a week.

If it's an enteric coated tablet, you might as well not bother, it can be 10% or less. Generally it seems to be 50-70% (gluconate seems highest) but there are skin absorption methods if your absorption is low, for example if you have diarrhea (often do because of meds) or Celiac disease (yep) or you're on treatment for GERD or stomach problems (ditto).
The research is not *great* and often seems contradictory because of the methodology.
I switched back to the powder form of oxide, citrate and malate instead of the oxide tablets that were as useful as tits on an asteroid. You know, the prescribed ones.
Magnesium *tends* to have absorption limited by the capacity of the body to use it (as in huge doses have low absorption).
The skin absorption thing is mostly hippy-dippy, but it looks like it might be *awful* useful in my current condition. That seems to be chlorate more often than anything else.

Why not? Did it work out better?
When I was right out of college, finally out from under the horrific cooking of my folks and on my own, I started experimenting with marinades. I'd buy a bunch of steaks and mix various liquids, herbs, and spices together and let 'em soak in ziploc baggies in the fridge. The only problem was that I didn't keep good notes, so when I came out with a steak cooked medium that was actually purple all the way through, I still don't know exactly how I did it. (I suspect wine and papain).
It was an interesting visual effect, and tasty as well.

The grits are cooked from coarse corn meal. Simmer about 20 to 25 minutes. Add some salt and pepper up front, a tablespoon of butter, and a couple tablespoons of half & half. Then add enough water to keep them loose while they cook, and let the grits tighten to taste the last 5 minutes or so. Salt and pepper to taste and serve with crispy thick sliced bacon.
WRT cream of wheat, I grew up in a coco-wheat house, so cream of wheat didn't come near.

Thanks-living is a way of life. If you have one person who loves you-and we love you on here-you are blessed!

I don't have any Thanksgiving recipes because I have never hosted Thanksgiving. I normally bring wine or fruit salad but that's not interesting.
A Thanksgiving that stands out in my mind: once in DC, I wad celebrating an "orphan's Thanksgiving" with a bunch of other people from other parts of the country who did not have the time, the money or the inclination to go back home to wherever their families lived.
The turkey was cooked and resting and we were getting ready to file into the dining room when we heard screaming from the kitchen. The hostess had a big Rhodesian Ridgeback dog named Roxie. Roxie had dragged the turkey off the table and was devouring it. It was something to see - entire slabs of meat disappeared down that dog's throat without even being chewed.
The mashed potatoes and dressing and pie were good.

I don't know whether that's the case or not, but I saw a TV show about him a few years ago. Apparently he took some business courses in college.
Unlike many musicians of his era, he was a savvy negotiator and did not get ripped off by unscrupulous managers and record companies.
"American Pie" has been berry, berry good to him. He still gets royalties every time it's played on the radio. Which is a LOT.

4 ounces ginger ale - whatever's on sale, so long as it's not that sugar-free crap, and avoid anything that costs more than about 75 cents a liter

Out of the eight variations I found on the 'net, only one recipe called for sweetened condensed milk and since that was what I had, I used that variation. It also called for butter and 3 eggs.
So it came out kinda like a custard with sweet potato bits which is ok because the important thing is it has sugar in it. And it has nourishment which is also a good thing.
I call it 'good enough'.

1C flour
3/4 C brown sugar
1 heaping Tbsp shortening
****
1 C molasses
1 Tsp baking soda
3/4 C boiling water
1 beaten egg
cut together flour, sugar and shortening together to make crumbs.
Divide this in half and put one half of the crumbs in a mixing bowl and mix in the molasses.
Then, bring the 3/4 C of water to a boil and stir the baking soda into the boiling water. When it stops foaming, dump into the molasses mixture and stir in.
Add the egg to the molasses mixture, stir enough to mix (make sure the mixture is not too hot to cook the egg on contact)
pour into a pie tin and then cover with the remaining sugar/flour/shortening crumbs as a "pebble dash crust".
Bake at 10 minutes at 375F and then lower the temperature to 350F and bake another 30 minutes.

On Thanksgiving here's a tip.....give thanks. The world doesn't revolve around you. Your little microaggressions and you feeling offended shouldn't ruin everybody else's day. So keep the politics at home. We are all still Americans. Have fun and count your blessings tomorrow. Eat, sleep and be merry. Happy Thanksgiving all.

Interesting recipe, hat.
Weft, I'm like you, agonizing over getting a food processor or not. At this point the only thing I've identified where that tool would bea game-changer is hummus, which I love and is easy to make - depending on your tools. Even with a seemingly large kitchen, I'm on a jihad to minimize clutter and make storage more efficient, so every addition gets examined as if it were an 80-lb optional feature being added to the LEM in 1968, with all the engineers scrutinizing it ruthlessly.
Ramen - my wife uses the regular packaged ramen (forget the brand), but by the time she's added the roast marinated pork slices, sprouts,chopped scallions from our yard, and a few secret seasonings, it is damn close to the best stuff I've had with her in Japan (she's Japanese). Amazing.

In this case I couldn't resist, as the inversion of "fascist" by our brain-dead and otherwise dead civic culture simply must be b-slapped and shamed, notwithstanding that there's no point (i.e. there's no come-back in store for us).

1 12 oz bag of cranberries
1 orange
Zest from orange
1/2 cup port
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups sugar (add more if you want very sweet)
1 tablespoon cornstarch
In a sauce pan, combine cranberries, juice from orange, orange zest, port, cinnamon and sugar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer. In a separate cup, mix cornstarch with about 2 tablespoons of water and mix to create a slurry. Add slurry to sauce while whisking. Continue stirring until cranberries are soft (they will start "popping") and mixture starts to gel.
Remove from heat.
This is best if done the day before so that you can refrigerate over night.
I promise you everyone will absolutely LOVE this cranberry sauce and you will be requested to make it every year.

anyone have Amazon Fire Stick for tv? I've had it with cable and I'm trying to figure how to do tv. I watch sports, AMC and Discovery mostly.
Posted by: typo dynamofo
Fire Stick is designed for those with Amazon Prime to watch Prime content, so that's the first set of what you can watch. See Amazon's Prime section.
Then it has official apps, what doesn't nowadays, that allows you convenient access to streaming content from certain networks and services. Check Amazon and google for those. Saw one for FoxNews in there.
Finally, there are pirate-ish aps like Kodi:
www.htpcbeginner.com/install-kodi-on-amazon-fire-tv/
that allow those so motivated to access other streaming content.
Have one, haven't used it much since I downlo -- err -- buy tots legal content elsewhere, but can say it hooks up easily and the picture is good.
Should be on sale this Black Friday for $10 or so off.

Speaking of Amazon:
Amazon.com offers an Extra 30% Off One Print Book (up to $10 savings) when you enter promotional code HOLIDAY30 at checkout. Shipping is free with Prime or if you spend $35 or more.
Code expires 11/29
Should also be one of these out soon for BN.com, if you want to price compare.

So, gun-thread interlude.
Finally rented the CZ-75 at my indoor range today to try it out. Nice as I expected. Even the ergonomics/size seemed to work for me, and I have some challenges settling on a grip for semi-autos.
Fired a few rounds from the SP01 version last week at the outdoor range on my duty day. Also very nice. So - some day - CZ will enter the inventory.

On Thanksgiving here's a tip.....give thanks. The world doesn't revolve around you. Your little microaggressions and you feeling offended shouldn't ruin everybody else's day. So keep the politics at home. We are all still Americans. Have fun and count your blessings tomorrow. Eat, sleep and be merry. Happy Thanksgiving all.

If they didn't do Diwali, we would all be poorer for missing 'em; if they lit 'em all the time, we'd be wondering about the weirdos; and if they didn't light them when so many were lit on the streets, they'd be holding themselves dark when so many are lighted.

This year I have something extra special to be thankful for.
When my Laura died in 2010 I knew that I would be alone the rest of my life. I had my shot at the gold ring and it was a glorious 16 1/2 year ride, and I just knew that I had had my share, this was it, nothing left but memories.
And then one day...I saw a smile that lit up the whole world...and I knew I was wrong.
And in the morning I will pack up the scoobytruck and head to NoVa to meet her at her brother's house for Thanksgiving. She's been at her mother's house all week and it's been awful lonely around here without her.
So without further ado, good night roonz and roonettez, fear no evil!

T-giving memories.
1997, ocean kayaking trip, Abel Tasman Nat. Park, South Island, New Zealand.
We were kayaking, so weight was no problem. So - Marlborough sauvignon blanc - chilled it by standing/half-burying it in the edge of the surf on the beach where we camped. Gas stove heated up the high-end backpacker food (turkey dinner).
Picked up the wine at Cloudy Bay winery, now somewhat iconic for Marlborough sauv blanc, but then just emerging - I recall the tasting room was still under construction.

re: Fire Stick
A bit more. The package contains a USB Stick dongle* and an extension cable. For best reception, you're supposed to use the cable with the Stick.
Can run into a problem depending on the geometry of the ports and cabling on your TV. Works fire on one TV here, but on the other, when installed in the only available free port, the cord drapes over the power cord to the TV and gets interference.
Can probably fix that by moving stuff around or switching cables, but it can be an issue.

-Emmie: With the larger, (C-7 and C-9), bulbs, I'm not familiar with the fuse structure, nor the amperage involved. You run a risk of tripping a breaker, (depending upon the # in the string, # of excuded bulbsand the amperage), if you do that.
In a string of 25? I would not be comfortable removing more than 3 bulbs. At that, I would also tape the open sockets heavily.
My advice: Cannot Recommend.

On top of everything else, you probably lost the ability to read braille with that finger. It'll hit you in a thousand subtle ways, but you may have lost a lot of fine-pitch tactile sensation.

Super Shopper Hint:
The Amazon book coupon has a $10 limit, the BN coupon doesn't. Amazon has a $35 free ship minimum, BN is $25.
So, take the price of the book on both sites and toss in those constraints to figure the best deal. Since I usually use these on the expensive books, there can be a meaningful difference, but even on something in that $25 to $35 gap you can save a few bucks by cypherin'

They find this ironic because they cannot or will not see the difference between illegals and legal immigrants.
And Faux News was only too happy to run with this hit piece, with an added fillip of dishonesty...Faux News only identified Trump's LEGAL Latino employees as "migrants."

I caught that clip, it was on F&F, they kept it short and led into the break with it cause the LEGAL immigrant lady was happy about making the Trump hats and the overtime she said it's added to everyone's checks. "With Trump I make more money..." she said as they ended.
