Holiday meal

[terri]

I've heard that deep fried turkeys are just heavenly. I always laugh when I see the annual warnings on how many porches are set on fire each year by people who don't know what they're doing with all that hot grease.

Me, I roast a turkey and baste 'em after starting with searing heat (450' oven) which is then reduced to the standard 350'. Not quite as good as the deep fried, but you get a nice crispy skin and juicy bird.

And my specialty is my Christmas cookies....I use my mom's old recipes and don't tell anyone about the butter and brown sugar....just let people enjoy the real thing from scratch.

Aeblewhaters? What's that. Sound more like a form of torture.

It's a danish pastry that is kind of like a spherical pancake. Usually buttered and dipped in powdered sugar.

According to the internets, it's Danish. But it's been passed down from the Scandinavians... Not sure if all nordic's enjoy the balls like the Danish do.

Oh that reminds me of that SNL skit with the "Shweety Balls". I think that's one of the best SNL skits ever. That and the "candygram" landshark skit... Sorry for the hijack.

The word 'internet' will never be the same for me since bush called it the internets.

"I heard there's rumors on the, uhh, internets"

I always have a good time with my friends on the internets. :sillysmi:

I get to eat Ukrainian food on Christmas. My Girlfriend's family makes a somewhat traditional meal.

No "meat" (cow, pig, chicken etc.) so they make fish. There is even a traditional jellied fish... uke: Lots of perogies though...and other good stuff.

My favorite Ukrainian holiday meal is Easter though...we don't "do" lent...but we have a meal on Easter morning that has enough meat to choke a tiger.

yo big M!!! Jelly fish!!!! what does that taste like?

It's not jelly fish...just regular fish made into some sort of jelly. I've only had a little taste but I knew before I had some that I would not like it...most people don't. That's why it's a traditional dish and not a holiday favorite

I don't know for sure but I think there are traditionally supposed to be 12 dishes served at Christmas. All without "meat". I guess they ran out of ideas and decided to mash up some fish into a jelly
