well, you know... we had to give you SOMETHING... right out of the can... with the ridges up the sides...

To be honest we seem to get all the US things eventually. We so can't think for ourselves.

I vote for Publix, but not sure about health care.

Well perhaps not, though a lot of Americans think our system is rubbish!!

wow... now where's my lobster!!!!

Oh yes, but just for me, not John. I was also brought up having apple sauce and bread sauce too, though I have learned some years ago that they are not the traditional accompaniments to turkey. I would still make them if I was cooking Christmas dinner.

What is bread sauce?

If you go back a page... Albert has given us a recipe...

I should know better than to post a question before reading to the last post on a thread......

Thanks Albert!

I am caught up now and wonder what they pour it on besides cold turkey sandwiches? Is it poured over mashed potatoes? Hot turkey?

Thanks.

I think cranberries were one of the things like corn which were native to North America. Since the "sun never set on the British Empire" a lot of foods and styles of clothing, art and architecture made it back to the homeland I thought.

Well bread sauce is a thick sauce so doesn't really pour. You just add it as a side to a turkey dinner. I think I might be unusual in liking cold bread sauce though. Most people have cold turkey and stuffing sandwiches. After all with bread sauce you are adding even more bread to bread in a sandwich.

You could well be right about cranberries. Perhaps they were for more upper class people, hence why we had bread sauce!!! actually turkey didn't become popular till the second half of last century - brought over from the US of course one import I am very happy about.

Hey... carbs on carbs is one of my favorite meals...

& I'm glad you guys have turkey sandwiches too...

Even if we go to others for Thanksgiving... we always get a turkey of our own and cook it either the day after or over the weekend so we have turkey sandwiches (because if you go to my brother's for Thanksgiving, there are NO leftovers by the time they get to it, and depending on which way the platter is passed... you might not get any dark meat if you are on the wrong side of my brother, Timmy... )

Well, half of the Royal garden is cut back (and I have the scratches on my hands to prove it... (darned rose bush...) Today I'm going to cut the rest back and trim the Rose of Sharon bush in the front so I can get out my front door again...

I spent last night picking through the left over buds for the seeds to my Giant Black Eyed Susans and also my purple echinacea. Talk about patience... I had to pick up hundreds of seeds with a tweezer. Still have more to do, the regular black eyed susan's, I'm just going to take the seeds and the chafe off of the bud and leave it all. I can just spread it all in the garden next year and see what takes. I want to start the others next spring and plant them around the deck.

I was thinking though last night how different I am from my sister in those kinds of things... I spend hours saving seeds... She'd spend a couple of minutes & order whole plants off the internet!!!

I've had my benny... Lord only knows what we're having for dinner tonight (mom's turn to cook... I made chili last night...)

I had chili last night too, but mine was.....a can of Hormel...

[Tink rules]

Jackie... if you make the regular chili... (I use the packet from McCormicks...) and you portion it out in zip lock bags, you can freeze them and they come back really well. I get at least 2 meals out of it for us. I'm sure you could portion some out for both lunch and dinner.

 

[Tink rules]

& I also make it in the crock pot... really easy... just throw everything in and let it go for a couple of hours on low...

 

[ibouncetoo]

Is there a receipe on the McCormicks packet? I know home-made would be so much better...not all that nasty sodium!

.

 

[Tink rules]

oh yeah..

you just brown the meat and throw it in a pot with the McCormick's packet, I use 1 can of pinto beans and a large can of crushed or pureed tomatoes. Let it cook for about 45 minutes on the stove (simmer on low) or I put it in the crock pot for about 2 hrs on low and let it go. & it's done. I like to let it sit overnight though because it lets all the flavors mix together. Serve with Cheese or plain... Mom likes to have rice or pasta with it sometimes. It makes at least 2 meals for us. (probably 4 for you...) I think they may also have a low sodium packet too, but I haven't tried any of that.

If you can't find McCormicks, you can also use any of the Mexican brands (the same ones that make the taco kits, etc.)

It does freeze really well.

Oh, we would often have "Chili Mac" when I was a kid...chili served over macaroni. Think I'll try making a batch with black beans.

Now that I think we are 'officially' past the 100 degree days, I'm ready for some HOT food!

I know... it barely made 60 today...

Well, it's been a nail-biting few days, but I'm happy to report I am not on strike, the contract was ratified by a mere 56% My company also has stores in Windsor, Chatham and Sarnia that are a different union local, and they did vote strike! They were voting on the same contract...and yes it is a very crappy contract I am in the same local as Toronto stores, and if it hadn't been for their votes we would have been on strike too! Mixed feelings on the whole thing BUT now I can continue to plan for the LA/ Alaska B2B

Well, at least that's over with for now! Sorry it's not a good contract, but at least there's no more nail-biting day!
