Me thinkst suh is a chocolate slut ! lol Anyway, this stuff was a layer of rice krispies, then a layer of solid chocolate and then another layer of rice krispies. I remember baker's chocolate being used and yes there were eggs involved somehow. She also had to "make" a double boiler to do it. Gizzard Gravy, the grossest sounding thing but .... All those organs that come with the turkey, slice them up and fry them in a pan,and I mean FRY them. You don't need them tender or anything, don't even entertain the idea of leaving them in the gravy. You fry them until you got crusty stuff in the frying pan, you want that. Once you have that you can let whatever animals you have eat the gizzards. Then you make gravy as usual. There will not be much in the way of yield if you want a strong flavor but there is one nice thing about it. Not everybody likes it. Those who do however will probably fight over it. Also, I don't care that it's all carbs or that it is not traditional, deep fried perogis go with anything. I do like the idea of sausage in the stuffing, I just don't know about some other things in there, like apples. Also I don't eat raisins. Never did try sausage in stuffing, I'll add that to my todo list. Cheesecake is another thing that goes with anything, even if you have pumpkin pie. I'll see if I can get this recipe the olman uses, from like 1955. This is cheesecake for people who don't like cheesecake. Also my neighbor has a recipe for cheeseless cheesecake, good for the lactose intolerant who may be around. I had some a while back and it was quite good. Sorry if I am breaking tradition too much here, but on Thankgiving we usually have prime rib. Just don't have much of a taste for turkey these days. I wish the olman would let me show him how to use his infrared broiler. He wants to get the owner's manual, heck, I had one when I was twelve. It's simple, as long as it is preheated properly you can't hurt it. If you like stuff seared/browned you can (if need be) put it right in the flames of this thing. It's like having July in January, because it can do what a charcoal grill can do. Anyone ever use one ? Caloric stoves have them, at least the high end models. They are awesome, much as I hate to use that word. You can make a turkey taste like it was deep fried. Well almost, I have had deep fried turkey, yes the whole thing. The Man of the house takes care of this out on the front porch with about $60 worth of oil and this vat with a burner that connects to a propane tank. It comes out excellent but there is one drawback, you cant stuff it. Sorry folks if this seems a bit sidestepping of responsive, but I had tradition for a good part of my life and I am sick of it. That's OK though, this is supposed to be a feast. You can make pizza if you want. Anything goes. In fact for the past three years I have been going to this Christmas party and I make pizza. That's my food contribution and they wouldn't have it any other way. Keepem coming. I would like for something to catch my eye and try it. Just like the same ole turkey became bla here, so has the prime rib. Any ideas are welcome. I know some people who make goose or duck, if done right it is good. No matter what you do, enjoy. T
