  2. I don't have a particular favorite, but I don't care for Pepsi ( it's toooo sweeeet ). I prefer Coca-Cola over Pepsi, but I also enjoy all the Mt. Dew flavors that are out there. Don't care much for Dr. Pepper, finally got around to finding & trying Dr. Pepper Cherry-Vanilla, ( it's ok, but wasn't too impressed ). Hubby and I usually call colas & dews soda. Oldest daughter is assistant manager & merchandiser for Pepsi where we live, but she decorates her house with Coca-Cola memorabillia. Hey if Pepsi wasn't so cheap, and would sell cool stuff for us to decorate our houses with, eveyone would see Pepsi memorabillia throughout her house.
  3. Buttercup, I've been called many things, but never been called awesome. It's kinda nice to know someone else thinks I am, and that I was missed. Enjoy the recipes!! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
  4. Here are some of my "favorite" Thanksgiving recipes, as well as recipes using the leftover's from your holiday meal. Turkey Gravy 2 cups turkey drippings 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour 1/2 cup milk Combine the turkey drippings, pepper, poultry seasoning and bouillon granules in a 1-quart saucepan; simmer over low heat for 5 minutes. While the gravy is heating, combine the flour and milk in a jar ( with a tight fitting lid ) shake until smooth. Slowly add the milk mixture to the simmering broth; stirring constantly with a spoon. Continue to cook and stir, until the gravy is thick and bubbly. Yield: 2 1/2 cups of gravy. For a Fat-Free Gravy: Use skim milk, and follow the method for removing fat from gravy, ( using the ice cube method ) as directed with the Savory Gravy recipe below. Calories: 7 Fat: 0 grams Sodium: 25 grams Protein: 0.4 grams ............................................................ Savory Gravy ( Gravy made from a roasted turkey breast ) 1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 teaspoons unbleached flour 1/2 cup milk roast turkey drippings 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon granules 1/4 teaspoon poultry seasoning 1/4 teaspoon dried savory 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper Combine the flour and milk in a jar, ( with a tight-fitting lid ) and shake until smooth. Set aside. Pour the turkey drippings from the roast turkey breast into a bowl, add a few ice cubes, and skim off the fat ( once it rises and hardens ). Pour the fat-free drippings into a 2-cup measuring cup, and add enough water to bring the volume up to 1 3/4 cups. Pour the drippings mixture into a 1 1/2-quart saucepan, and add the bouillon granules and seasonings. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 5 minutes. Slowly stir the flour mixture into the gravy, and continue to cook and stir until mixture is thickened and bubbly. Transfer the gravy to a warmed gravy boat or pitcher, and serve hot with the stuffed turkey breast. Note: Use skim milk, and there's only 7 calories, 0 grams of fat, 30 mg. sodium and 0.4 grams of protein. ............................................................ Baked Brandied Cranberries Almost 25 years ago, my neighbor gave me this recipe. The brandy helps to cut down on the tartness of the cranberries, while the sugar gives it just enough sweetness.
