Perfect day!; November 15, 2007 at 8:56 AM

It is: at 325 degrees, 23 minutes per pound. Baste regularly. That's it! Works from tiny chickens all the way up to the most massive turkeys, and I usually do a 21-pounder or thereabouts. This formula never fails.; November 15, 2007 at 9:31 AM

I remember as kids while watching the parade we'd enjoy cinnamon toast.

I'll have a special recipe later today so keep an eye out....; November 15, 2007 at 9:46 AM
Johnny Action Space Punk said...: OK, sometimes on Thanksgiving, Johnny enjoys cornish hens instead of turkey. The spice rub is the thing. Start with Jack's BBQ spice rub, add small amounts of garlic powder, ground chipotle powder, and throw fresh herbs of sage, thyme and rosemary on the birds. Rub the rub pretty well into the hens and inside the cavity too. Johnny like to put a pat of butter inside the birds as well as some melted butter to crisp the skin but save that until later, as you don't wanna rub off the rub.

Oven 375 for an hour and half or whenever juices run clear. The sassy hens play well with REAL cranberries.; November 15, 2007 at 12:50 PM
Stella Magdalen said...: Crunions (Myb absolute favourite)

4 jars Holland Onions, well drained
2 cups white sauce or bechamel
( A homade white sauce or bechamel is best but really, one can make the Wondra™ sauce and it's fine)
Mix in casserole dish, sprinkle with breadcrumbs, parmesan or both bake 350 for 40 - 45 mins.; November 15, 2007 at 5:42 PM

When they are good and frozen take off the wrappers and smash them to bits with a hammer then put the pieces in a bowl. Add to the candy pieces some diced Granny Smith Apples and fold in some whipped topping. You won't believe how good this is.; November 16, 2007 at 4:38 PM
Johnny Action Space Punk said...: Wow, both excellent sounding dishes. Trixie, I WANT THAT.; November 16, 2007 at 8:06 PM
