it doesn't matter what you do with them as long as AFTERWARDS you have enough for Sweet Potato Biscuts. Holy Crap, BEST THING EVER.

butter, maple syrup and cinnamon on sweet potatoes is not plastic food....it you top it with a *light* topping of marshmallow its all the yummier. Thanksgiving is not about spicy. The flavors for this holiday are salty and sweet. No bitters, no sours, no spicy. Ok, maybe the cranberry sauce is a little sour, but…

Ok, when you said, "I took back the holidays from my mother" it sounded like ALL holidays were sans mom and why people all freaked out.

oh geeze, really? I already have near fat-less feet with tons of pain in SHOES DESIGNED FOR COMFORT. I'm screwed. I better start saving up for a Lil' Rascal now

Please tell me you said, "Geez Mom, I cooked for two days to make this dinner...could you at least try it before flavoring it your way?" then she flipped you the bird (no pun intended) and cheesed everything else in the kitchen? Kicking your mom out of your holiday life because she cheesed *her* food seems a bit…

yeah, we ALWAYS use maple...how on earth did it not taste like awesome?

And less likely to get a dry turkey because you don't have to keep cooking until the dressing is hot enough and safe to eat. I suppose one could, if one wants the look of a stuffed turkey, could cook the two seperate and shortly before serving stuff the cooked turkey with the cooked stuffing then pop it in the oven to…

When making cranberry relish use an old fashioned meat grinder rather than food processor. The relish will have a much firmer consistency and will be less of a juicy mess. Just run 1 bag of cranberries through, then 1 whole orange with the peels (cut it up into slices to fit it in) through your meat grinder. Mix and…

yeah, i guess thats the case, huh? I've never been able to figure it out. I failed in the kitchen alot when I was 8...but then i learned not to cook everything on high, if a recipe doesn't ask for milk, don't add it (I thought cookies had to have milk in them...only to realize later butter is milk fat and cookie…

I watched it in high school and loved it. It was so comic-booky. I mean, the shots were literally like pictures out of a comic. I've been meaning to rewatch it now that im older, wiser, and more grumpy.

We have never bothered brining. All my mom does is rub the skin with a herb butter leaving chunks on the skin and then a heavy salting. never comes out dry....

That and eye-widening contact lenses

When I told my fiance I just discovered I was a 34D he snuffed the air and said, "you can't be, or they changed sizes!" but the bras don't lie: suddenly my small but wide breasts are not spilling out of my cup! cups, I learned, are more about width of the breast where it attaches to the body than volume...i think…

ALMOST liked that song until Nikki got to the chorus...which just sounded so forced and robotic. ALMOST

srsly, thats the age i was hoping to start. young enough you still have energy, old enough you had some fun.

Turkeys are awesome. Me and the first turkey i got to know used to have long talks and he'd come out and greet me...then the evil pigs chewed off his butt and he had to be slaughtered early. RIP Mr.Turkey.

Poke is Hawaiian....we have it because out head chef is a Hawaiian Japanese. Poke literally means "square," as in big square chunks of tuna. There are lots of dressings for the poke tuna itself...my favorite being said one made with chili oil, garlic, sesame seed oil, soy sauce, thin slices of onion with big chunks on…

How could poke tuna be just meh? I am sorry, it must have been a sad, sad recipe. The Japanese resturant I work at makes an orgasmic poke tuna. Spicy, garlicy, oily...god. i want some now.

Right, but if a hernivore developes the ability to eat meat it has evolved, right?

Eh, I had friends who were pretty deep in horse culture and one of them named names about breeders who were really pushing the government to get rid of mustangs. Those folks weren't fools, so it was interesting to hear what they were saying.
