How Big is your Bird?

[Otto's Doll]

No birds... just lasagne... yum!

Well, the bird I have sitting on my shoulder right now isn't very big...he/she (not sure yet) is a pied cockatiel named Xatu (zah-too). I don't know if these birds even weigh a pound! He wouldn't be very tasty tho, too many feathers. In fact, if you added up all 10 of our birds I don't think they'd feed very many.

10 birds, Jill? You obviously have a love of feathered friends.

pklein09, that sounds scrumptious! Any room left at your table for a surprise guest?

20 pounds. For 4 people. I'll have leftovers forever...

I would prefer a ham, but my mom won this stupid bird and put it in my freezer. I've got to cook it just to reclaim the space!

I'll make a big batch of good old Southern style cornbread dressing with lots of celery and sage, maybe some carrots glazed with orange and dill, and something green (broccoli or asparagus? with a light hollandaise?)

(Raisin gravy? That sounds really interesting and tasty. )

Eight pound prime rib roast. Only 4 us us, but sons are 21 and 18 and EAT! Hope we have some leftovers!

I can understand you going for the prime rib, Byrd, otherwise it would be like snacking on your own kin....

the Thanksgiving Cornish Game hens didn't go over very well here. Everyone, me included missed the beef for Thanksgiving.

Hope everybody has a tasty and magical Christmas.
