Phillips BBQ, Los Angeles! mmm....

Thank you all for your protectiveness! Lol... it's no biggie. I've decided to make pumpkin cinnamon rolls for Sunday Brunch, but I'm charging 4.00 per roll! That'll teach them!

@alice blue, I too have attempted the fresh cranberry sauce...didn't work. Should have been my clue.

@boo bird, you can come over and have some of our green beans - they're swimming in hocks and butter!

Chicken and waffles!

Still making those Parker House rolls by joy the baker...

@Paula... I agree about the star... odd chap, but informative, and great recipes.

FLN brought back the word "bodacious" which had been sorely missed.

My Bichon-Poo is named Roux.

My Thanksgiving victory: no stress. My 14 year old, determined to have Thanksgiving dinner (after I announced in October that I wasn't cooking), made a list, checked it thrice, and set about making the meal. All I had to do was make sure she didn't burn the house down, and ensure that she didn't do anything weird, like put onions in the apple pie. The cherry coke ham was moist, the mac and cheese was cheesy, and the turkey was awesome and perfectly done. A few small mistakes here and there, but my picky family ate with relish, and my brothers came back the next day for leftovers.

I was so proud of her, and have finally given in to her request to take cooking courses at the local community college in the spring.

@jerzeeTomato: I wish. Nope, they'll be right there, eating with us. It's a working meeting, and no one is excused for lunch.

@whoot: When us mid-level folks get together, we usually go in and pot luck or order pizza. Upper mgmt is known for going out to expensive lunches, but since we're working with a vendor, we can't do that. Not really stealing my time, since I'm getting paid my exorbitant hourly wage for the whole day...

@dhorst for the win! I'm stopping a Trader Joes in the morning for some cheese, grapes, and a baguette.

Thanks everyone!

I understand mayo cake, having eaten and enjoyed it -you don't taste the mayo any more than you taste the eggs in a regular cake, but seriously? The components of mayo cake and that of salad dressing end at the oil, vinegar, sugar and egg.

Simply put, there's no frosting or cakey goodness in my bottle of Seven Seas.

BangleB - you are not alone, though you forgot corny, and in real need of a hair cut.

Sorry Machellebelle....

Spam = Spiced Ham. Not only meat, but pork.
