Is it Turkey Yet????

[mauisun]

darn daylight savings time. 4pm here, Turkey isn't done until 6 pm. Ugh!!!! dogs and cats are stalking the house like starved coyotes

I want turkey!!!!!!! Sounds nicer than a vegemite sandwich for lunch.

NB: I am not having a vegemite sandwich for lunch. I am just perpetuating the Aussie stereotype. And really really jealous because I WANT TURKEY!!!!!

I have to tell you, David and I are working with a nutritionist so it was just Turkey stuffed with fruit, sweet potatoes and green beans with tomatoes for dinner -- but tasted great! And then we cheated and had a small piece of pumpkin pie for dessert LOL!!!!

Thanksgiving is just not the same with some kind of dessert like pumpkin pie, so have at it...we didn't have pumpkin, but my daughter works at a bakery/cafe and they made us a small tiramisu cake, omg so freakin delish!!!! thank goodness the sweets is very limited to very few times.
my sick laptop is back and better. day is looking up.

 

[vaporgalinfla]

Pam - what kind of fruit did you stuff the turkey with? That sounds good.

We didn't eat dessert - no pie, no cake, no tiramisu (I'm jealous!)...

 

[mauisunpam]

OOps, I meant pecan pie! But I want to make a pumpkin roll soon anyway....
We used oranges, mangoes, grapes, raisins, plums and apples (tasted a piece of apple, tasted like turkey-fruit!). & David just told me he put some brown sugar in there too! That would be a no-no!

 

[div]

Actually that sounds yummy, but hubby don't like mango. I use some fruit: apple and orange, but I add onion, rosemary, thyme and garlic, steep for a bit and stuff, mostly aromatics. I like your combination, but no on the brown sugar.

it was yummy
