Homemade fried pies are nothing like any at McDonald's.

Re: What's Your Thanksgiving Menu?
 

My son and new daughter-in-law (they've been married 4 mos) invited us to their house for the big day.
I had it easy: cranberry sauce, apple cider,tablecloths and bakery vegan cupcakes, that I picked up yesterday.
DIL and her mother fixed turkey, stuffing, sweet potatoes with pineapple, corn, green beans, rolls, mashed potatoes and gravy, Ham, and vegan pumpkin pie.

I'm still stuffed! She did a great job!


:campfire (the stove top was in use so my son heated the cider on the grill outdoors)

Good ol' Granpaw Jones!
Loved to hear his menus! lol

Re: What's Your Thanksgiving Menu?
 

Babies.

(I'm a liberal Democrat, don't ya know. :lol)

Re: What's Your Thanksgiving Menu?
 

Amen, sistah!! Although I do like the ones at McDs too. These homemade ones are apricot and are deep fried, so the crust puffs up. My husband loves them - I'd rather have pan fried ones, but it's his once a year indulgence, so I give in. :bigbaby

Re: What's Your Thanksgiving Menu?
 

My hunch is that deep-fried things, though not health food by any stretch, get a bad rap: Not very much of the fat is absorbed in the food, if it is done properly. Pan frying may actually be worse, as far as absorption goes. Also, I bet it depends on the fat: peanut oil isn't as bad for you as, say, lard. Is it?

Re: What's Your Thanksgiving Menu?
 

That's not funny.

Re: What's Your Thanksgiving Menu?
 

Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Re: What's Your Thanksgiving Menu?
 

Tonight I took the leftover cornbread dressing, chopped up four pieces of turkey in it really fine, added an egg and some flour and spices, dipped them in bread crumbs and fried them like salmon patties. Yummmm!!!

Re: What's Your Thanksgiving Menu?
 

Sounds really good. But, too much like cooking, for me. Leftovers: we tend to just heat 'em and eat 'em. ;)
