Thanksgiving already?

I feel bad only having updated 2 times since last Thanksgiving, but what are you going to do? That was then this is now and all that jazz...

This will be my 4th year, I believe, celebrating this holiday away from my family. I've been cooking for friends and roommates during this time. I love it. It gives me a chance to strut my stuff as a cook, and this year I'll be cooking early so that all of my friends can join in. Spending a little beyond my capabilities, we're having a huge turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, mixed veggies, crescent rolls, and chocolate pie.

For those of you also not going home for the holiday, for god sakes get together with buddies and make something. Nothing so fancy as the traditional meal, perhaps, but do something so your mothers don't worry about you. Perhaps you'll try a recipe you've found on this site. (I hope)




"Curry" submitted by xaxona

1/2 lrg Onion (or 1 small onion)
1 to 1 1/2 cups of chopped carrots
1 cup of celery
1 to 2 cups of chopped steak
Golden Brand curry mix
white rice

sautee the onion and the meat until meat is cooked well. then put in 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Add in the carrots and celery, turn down heat a little and let it simmer for a few minutes. put in curry mix and stir until desolved. let cook until the water and mix has thickened. When done, place over the white rice.


Yorkshire pudding

Beef drippings from a meatloaf, potroast, or salisbury steak TV dinner.
(if you don't have that, beef flavored broth with a small bit of flour to thicken it up will work as well)
White bread
Milk (optional)

Mix juice and a splash of milk together in a bowl. Set stove on low heat and grease a pan. Place bread into juice mixture (think french toast). Lightly fry, leaving it still moist. Top with whatever is left of juice. Try also microwaving the bread rather than frying.

Another way to prepare this dish:

Pancake mix
Beef drippings or thin gravy

Mix pancake batter with the broth rather than with water (if you want you could probably splash a little milk in also). Prepare on the stove, leaving the cakes slightly undercooked if you can. Top with any extra drippings.
