wonderful pasta recipe

Heck, I have my Thanksgiving shopping list for all of our traditional recipes typed up in Word, in order by the aisles in Publix. This way I don't forget anything, and I can do my shopping very quickly.

I'm screwed.

That sounds great! I think I'll try it for Christmas -- already have bought groceries for Thanksgiving.

I bought mine last thursday and already had one Thanksgiving dinner. I can't believe it. Now, I'm fixin' to start up again. ;-) Hubba and I have an Uncle in Franklin, 50 miles from here, who can't get out. So we made him skip his meals on wheels last Saturday and brought the whole spread to him. Hubba smoked a turkey last friday night. I did all the other stuff. Hubba did chop for me some. I didn't do the cranberries on my own though. I took those Publix ones, which are really good to me, with the orange.

Stupid question: What are butter me not biscuits? Do they sell those at Publix? Both of these recipes sound yummy. With my broken elbow, I'm not doing very much, my husband is doing the turkey and sister-in-law is bringing the side dishes. I just need a few easy to make things that don't require too much effort from my right arm.

SM, I can feel a little of your pain. Right before Halloween I clamped my left index finger in my straight iron. It hurt for days. (second degree burn) Trying to do the simplest things were a big pain as I'm sure you know!
Glad you are getting help!


I have tried to like blue cheese and gorganzola and just can't! These recipes sound so good!

Aaarrrgggh! Poison!

Can you recommend a substitute for the pecans? Are they crucial?

This may sound strange, but Snyders mini unsalted pretzels make a great substitute for nuts. You can chop/crush them just like pecans.

BR--I do this too! mr. dd thinks I'm crazy, but he always appreciates it when I send him with a list.

I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond Crazy...then to Linens 'n Things You Don't Really Need. Then I stood up for 3 hours cooking. Chop chop chop mix chop chop saute chop chop mix chop mix. Turkey stock, Waldorf Salad and TWO kinds of dressing...meat and no meat. I have cleaned the kitchen three times so far...last time after Mr. K and his brining experiment. Now I remember why I don't cook anymore. ;-)

It's almost cocktail time.

Make mine a double...or maybe a triple.

I'm glad someone is as OCD as I am. :funn:

It's almost cocktail time.

It's been cocktail time all afternoon while I'm prepping to feed my entire extended family. BTW the only offer of help from my family is a phone call from one of my siblings -- asked if I needed her to pick up some wine -- I said I had bought jug wine -- she said they do not drink jug wine -- I said that if that's the case, it would be helpful if she picked up some wine. After all, I am cooking the entire meal.

I hear ya, babe. I have been cooking since 9 AM, and took a break at 6 PM. I will start up tomorrow AM to finish the rest. Next year if our daughter doesn't come home in time to help me cook, Big D and I are going to the beach, dining out, and relaxing. I'm over spending a kajillion hours preparing meals for which only my husband appreciates my investment in time.

I feel your pain, Miss Kitty.

Hey BR...meet you at the beach next Thanksgiving!

Otay!

I keep thinking about those delicious sounding meals like at Fire. Few people unless they've done it, appreciate and understand all the prep work that goes into one of these meals. 25.00 a head is sounding sooo cheap. To hail with leftovers.

yes, it is time for a drink

Oh and I forgot to say i'm mad at one of my sons ,I called him from the grocery asking him a question about his preference on something his response,MAMa I can't think about that right now,I'm busybusy at work!Well, hello there Russ I'm the one getting run into by folks with heaavy buggys...then I have to luge it home and then chop chop chop mix mix bake etc Sorry didn't mean to fuss on this holiday but still....oh and he's the one who wants home fried chicken.

So far, I'm stress free. :roll:Came home an hour early, chased the dogs all over the freakin' neighborhood because they ran out the door when I was trying to get in with a gorgeous pecan pie one of my vendors brought me, then after I got them in I made a cocktail and made Allifunn's blue cheese biscuits..OMG...delish..then I walked those goofy dogs, made cornbread then chocolate truffle pie now I'm having another cocktail and I'm going to bed soon only to start it all over again in the morning...we aren't eating til around 5 because all the kids have to go other places first--I'll be ready for bed by the time it's over.

So, where did you find "Butter Me Not" rolls? I haven't researched that yet at Publix. I am just trying to get through tomorrow and maintain some degree of civility and avoiding having a stroke.

I *so* will try that recipe.

Please don't have a stroke.....we need you.
No store in Texas has "Butter me Not" biscuits, so I used butter biscuits. They turned out fine, I guess. I ate about 10 of them!!

Butter biscuits, as in the freezer section? What brand? We are pretty limited as to what is available in this town.

No, in the refrigerated section. Canned biscuits. The ones with "buttery layers".
