Well, I just discovered a simple, delicious appetizer: cream cheese covered with Stonewall Kitchen red pepper jelly. Served with whichever crackers you prefer. If anyone asks? Tell them it's Jezebel sauce. The red pepper jelly has a tiny bit of heat...but it's only enough to make it interesting.

I LOVE Stonewall Kitchen crackers!  Avocado oil and sea salt is a family favourite.

Need some advice on a recipe tweak: I will be making a Bundt Cake Breakfast dish-dozen eggs, frozen tater tots, bacon, cut up Grands biscuits, cheese, & eggs. Mix together, put in Bundt or casserole dish, bake at 400F for 45 minutes. My question-if I make it in the casserole dish-is the bake time the same? It wouldn’t be as “thick” as in the Bundt pan.

I think some of us just replied in the other thread.

It's Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada, so fellow Canucks, what will you be eating?

We are getting it catered (ready-to-heat items), as usual, and trying a new place.  We will be having:

• Turkey breast
• Stuffing
• Mashed potatoes
• Maple glazed carrots
• Rapini
• Apple crumble
• Salad (courtesy of my dad)
• TWO types of cranberry sauce (one from the package and the other is MY cranberry sauce)

I'm having Thanksgiving dinner with friends, so I'll make dessert (gingerbread with maple cream cheese icing). Because turkeys are on sale, I bought one and will cook it later so I can have the best part of Thanksgiving - turkey sandwiches and soup.

Happy Thanksgiving, neighbors! 🍁🇨🇦🇺🇲🍁

Happy Thanksgiving, Canadians! I am grateful, though, that our U.S. Thanksgiving is not until the end of the November - it is still way too warm here to think about putting a turkey in the oven for hours and all the other prep and cooking...I'm happy to wait another month and more!

This reminds me: we need to think of something other than turkey, to make at Thanksgiving and Christmas. We used to share the turkey with the animals, but we don't have as many as we used to, and we don't like it anymore.

Start a new tradition and make/serve food you are thankful for.

I made this sometime in the past year, and hated it. I thought I'd like it, so I made a double batch, and wasted most of it.

I've just tried it again, and I like it. I can't remember what I didn't like the last time. Maybe I included too much jalapeno, or not enough salt. I made sure that it was blended well, this time, but didn't double the green spicy mixture that you add to the soup. I did double the amount of chicken broth.

I don't know whence this originated, as I saw it posted elsewhere without attribution, so I can't give credit, but it cracked me up:

I love the fact that you tried something again that you hated so much the first time.  I'm a fellow masochist.  It's very green!

I went to Whole Foods today to stock up before our snow set to arrive on Monday (5-8 inches predicted). The last time we had measurable snow was in 2022. It was as crowded as I've ever seen it, but the store was ready. Let it snow! ❄️🌨️⛄

[annzeepark914]

I dunno about this snow. Have two appts on Monday that will need to be rescheduled. I'm going to Harris Teeter tomorrow to "forage" 😉 altho' my pantry is overflowing already, as is the freezer. I saw two loaders?? parked over at the mall, probably going to be used to lift plowed snow into dump trucks. 

But, I've got the fixings for French onion soup. Haven't made it in a while. It's a modified version of the soup served at Hamburger Hamlet (the person, who posted it at the old Gail's Recipe Swap, said). I love the melted Gruyere on top. So, ok snowmaggedon...bring it!

I managed to time my grocery shopping perfectly - just as the Ravens game started!  Empty parking lot and no lines at the checkout!!!  Only thing was, they were out of bananas.  Ah well... I'll make it a couple of days without.  I have cookies, so it's all good.

I still hate snow.
