Something Delicious

Last time I attempted cooking the Pillsbury rolls (the kind you roll up) I rolled them up backwards....oh please.

However eating fine food is something I look forward to, French cuisine with its dainty, rich portions! mmmm. Thank goodness Golden Corral will be open on Turkey Day, I have to go to St. Louis to work.

I sure appreciate the chemistry of cooking, and the folks who magically make it happen!

Welcome Happy_Go_Lucky!

Pillsbury rolls..lol..that is cute. You just reminded me that Pillsbury has a cook off every year. A recipe contest. I would love to see some of the great cooks in this thread entering contests and posting about that process. What fun.

Classical French food is always interesting to me as well. The French gave us a roadmap for organized kitchen production so I am grateful for that.

Golden Corral..oh wow I have not thought about that place in a long time but have fond memories of driving cross country years ago, being beyond hungry...like delirious..needed to stop for food. I was driving across Texas and not much was nearby. I recall looking through a AAA guidebook and finding a Golden Corral in Midland Tx and driving way off the road to go find it. I was so hungry and my memory is that the food was so good. Thinking that I was driving for way too long that day and needed to stop and eat hours earlier. It was a great find.

I also appreciate the folks that make good food happen. It is a labor of love for many.

Planning my contributions to Thanksgiving at my youngest daughter's house. She is having 10 for dinner. Her boyfriend, his ex-wife, their 17-year-old lesbian daughter and her girl-friend and other friends.

This year, we will have turkey with all the trimmings. Last year, in Georgia, at my oldest daughter's house, we had ham. None of her kids or husband like turkey. It felt more like Easter than Thanksgiving for me,

I will bring fresh yams with a brown sugar and OJ glaze and topped with marshmellos. "Mom, pleaase bring your yams".

So, I always do.

I am also going to make a pumpkin pie with no crust and two parts of egg white to one part of egg yolk.

It is basically a pumpkin custard that tastes like pie without all the fat and calories.

Any other specialties that everyone always makes for Thanksgiving?

Hi Novelafemme! Yes that would be a lot of fun. We may have to settle for a virtual Thanksgiving/Native Day feast here on the Planet.

Hi Anya and welcome to the delicious thread!

Wow yams and pumpkin, two of my year round favorites. I love your pumpkin pie/custard idea. That would be right up my alley. I might have to sugar coat the top and torch it if I made that, just for fun, and I like any excuse to break out the blow torch.

Specialties for Thanksgiving, for me are usually sauce oriented. I like to make a gravy, but my favorite is a very simple fresh cranberry orange sauce. Everyone in my family seems to prefer the canned cranberry sauce so not sure what that says about my sauce lol.

I also like to make a Port Wine Cranberry sauce.

But really my favorite part of the holiday is having what other people consider their specialties. It is nice if I have a break from cooking and I love sampling the creative dishes of others.
