Merry Thanksgiving

Finished a quickie drawer job this morning that more than paid for the
truck repair on Monday; fought the traffic idjuts and bought everything
needed to make dirty rice dressing; and stocked up on enough
Pennsylvania Dutch Eggnog to last until Friday.

That time of year again. Y'all have a good one!

There are a lot of us struggling to get by, but that doesn't mean we
shouldn't take the time to be thankful for what we do have. I'm
Canadian, so I've already had my Thanksgiving this year, but I'm still
alive and my health isn't getting any worse at this time so that's
something I can always be thankful for.

Thanks, you as well. The whole week has been pretty good, but I'd sensed something was missing. After reading your post, I zipped to the neighborhood grocer. No eggnog! Will drive a little further, tomorrow.

You have no soul, Larry. The LAST Elegant Farmer apple/cranberry pie?
The big one, stuck to the bag and everything? For shame!

Since you're in the area, have you sampled the BBQ at LD'S over in East
Troy? Corner of ES & 20 in the BP station of all places. Outstanding.
The pie will wash it down perfectly<g>

Happy Thanksgiving.

On Thanksgiving, I count my blessings and my fingers. Lots of the former and still 10 of the latter. Out early this morning and got the last Elegant Farmer apple/cranberry pie. $16 is a lot of money for a pie, but it is worth every cent.

A good turkey day to all of you.

Been posted here a few times in past years, but here it is again:

*Cajun Dirty Rice Dressing*

1 lb hot pork sausage (Owens or jimmy dean's will work)
1 lb chopped chicken/turkey gizzards and hearts
1 lb coarse ground beef (chili ground)
1 lb chopped calf liver or chicken livers
2 large onions - chopped
2 bunches green onion tops - chopped
2bunches parsley
2 large bell peppers - chopped
1 medium bunch of celery - chopped
4 cloves garlic - finely chopped

8 - 12 cups of REAL cooked rice - (texmati is good, NO Uncle Ben's!)
OR - cook four cups of raw rice in a rice cooker.

If you have one, cook the gizzards and hearts in a pressure cooker
first, then chop.

Brown all meat together in a cast iron pot/Dutch oven. Season with
PLENTY of black pepper, add chopped vegetables and 'cook, cover and
stir' in various combinations until onions/celery are clear, salt to
taste, add some more black pepper. (Tony Chachere's Cajun Seasoning is
excellent as a substitute for the salt, but not for the black pepper)

Thoroughly stir in fluffy, cooked rice until the desired "dryness" is
achieved.

BTW, I have a bunch of Cajun recipes on DropBox if you any one else uses
it and wants a link.

Yes, you and millions including me struggle to get by. We are probably the lucky

millions who have to adjust their lives since 2008. And the wars continue...

Check your incoming email. You probably have to install DropBox to
accept the invitation, but it is free. You could then grab the recipes
and uninstall ... although I do add to the recipes fairly often when I
either cook something new, or find something I want to try.

Good thing you did not say "enougth" dirty rice - since there is no such
thing as enough dirty rice! Do you make it from scratch? If so... recipie?

Best wishes for thanksgiving to all on the 'wreck from me as well, and
happy Hannukah to those of us who celebrate it, too. The next time
Hannukah and Thanksgiving fall in the same day will be in about 75,000 years,
I heard.

Gosh, I forgot all about eggnog! I don't think I've had any in a
decade. I just made an "emergency call" to my wife (while she is out)!

To all, my best Thanksgiving wishes! Remember not to cut the hair off
your arm with the cutlery at the table, and not to comment on it if you
can't (for instance, don't say, "I've got worn saw blades that will cut
bread with less chipout than this...")! : )
