Brussel sprouts. They are chopped fine, sauteed in brown butter with
lots of salt and pepper added at the end.

NOTE: Other than the recipe (which smells good at this very moment,
wish it was noon!), the whole thing is a big <grin/duck>:
* * * * * * * *
TARGET STOCKHOLDER SOUP
Despite the name, this soup contains no Target stockholders!
Everything required to make this soup can be purchased at the local
SuperTarget other than the stove to cook it on and the Target
stockholders to eat it. (It's good the way I wrote it. I am not
responsible if you substitute Wal–Mart "Great Value" frozen veggies
and it's inedible.) Only five ingredients, all available at
SuperTarget:
1. A 46–ounce bottle of V–8;
2. A cup of frozen Target corn;
3. A cup of frozen Target carrots;
4. A 6–ounce package of refrigerated Tyson beef fajita strips;
5. A half–cup of rice (Rice Tec: the "Texas Lexus" of rice).
Put items 1–3 in a big pot and simmer for 2.5 hours.
Add everything else and simmer for 20 minutes.
Makes about three Target stockholder–meals of soup if their holdings
(of stock and/or food) are like mine are. I'd predict you'd get more
servings if the stockholder is a minor and the shares are in a trust.

I only do the side dishes, but I really go to town. It takes
two days, but my son goes home with a nice little cache
of grub and I have some leftovers, Martha Stewart, I ain't:
red cabbage salad with sour cream, dill, golden raisins and walnuts
thinly sliced cucumbers with sesame oil, rice vinegar and chiles
lazy karen scalloped potatoes made with hash browns
broccoli w feta, sundried tomato strips, kalamatas, garlic, lemon and herbs
roasted carrots with a five–spice glaze (ick––meant to have less 5 spice)
green bean slop (need I say more?)
yams I had to puree because I overcooked them, topped with pecans
broccoli/cauliflower in cheese sauce (to augment the color of the WHITE
cheddar I used tumeric––word to the wise: cheese and tumeric don't smell
too good––nuff said)

Some of the "byproducts" in pet food they use generally qualify as
taboo meat for humans but they're apparently tasty to cats.
If it comes out of a can, the processing sterilizes whatever got in
the can but I doubt they use HACCP on pet foods to prevent content

I've heard the stories of aged people eating pet food. I haven't heard
of them trying to eat cat litter but my Grandma tried to feed it to

It was only my son and me yesterday. For him, I roasted a turkey
breast with red wine, onions and herb butter. For me, stuffed tofurky
roast. Side dishes were quinoa with caramelized onions, a
rough–chopped ratatouille (which I will reheat and eat over soy pasta)
and zucchini pancakes. Plus homemade cranberry sauce. Dessert was a
drunken pumpkin bread pudding (key ingredient: Maker's Mark bourbon).
Wheeeee! Yum, yum, yum.

We were invited out for Thanksgiving but had company two days before –
main meal was:
London Broil done on the grill
Potato salad
Brocolli salad
Tomato and onion salad
Choc. froz. yogurt and ginger snaps
All done ahead except for the broil – served buffet style – I like easy
entertaining and no cooking at last minute with guests peering over my
shoulder and trying to keep stuff hot.

Being the American–ified Swede that I am, my family now celebrates
Thanksgiving. It'll be the second year, and a great way to get everyone
together, because we usually spend christmas apart. Dinner is set for tomorrow
(I know technically we're late – but it's not an actual holiday here..) and
it'll be my parents, and all my sisters and brother. And spouses/kids. (10
adults, 2 teenagers, one baby)
I'll be serving:
1. Turkey
2. Gravy (cheating! Ready–made.)
3. Lingonberry Jam (rather than cranberry sauce)
4. Roast potatoes
5. Brussel Sprouts with almonds
6. Maple–roasted parsnips
7. Cornbread
8. Honey–Saffron bread
9. Green salad
And we'll be having hot spiced cider with gingerbread grissini for a starter,
and Chocolate Oblivion Truffle Cake for dessert. Phew! :)

Nada, but my DH made turducken, yep, made it and it was wonderful. We
had the usual trimmings with it; stuffing and gravy, sweet potatoes,
cranberry sauce, rolls, green beans w/ caramelized onions, and pumpkin
and sweet potato pies for dessert. Another friend brought cheesecake
and we never even touched that.
EMD, how was that tofurky?

Our traditional Thanksgiving dinner has changed a bit to accomodate
Mom's diabetes:
Large salad with various types of lettuce, caulifower, red peppers,
scalliions, mushrooms and cherry tomatoes
Roast turkey with challah stuffing and gravy
Baked sweet potatoes
Homemade whole berry cranberry sauce (made with splenda)/canned
cranberry sauce for One (who could live on that stuff)
Pumpkin pie (again with splenda for Mom), apple pie and cherry pie for
desert
Nothing exciting or gourmet, but it approximates what our family has
done since I was a baby (except for sweet potato casserole), and
probably well before that.

Being the American–ified Swede that I am, my family now celebrates
Thanksgiving. It'll be the second year, and a great way to get everyone
together, because we usually spend christmas apart. Dinner is set for tomorrow
(I know technically we're late – but it's not an actual holiday here..) and
it'll be my parents, and all my sisters and brother. And spouses/kids. (10
adults, 2 teenagers, one baby)
I'll be serving:
1. Turkey
2. Gravy (cheating! Ready–made.)
3. Lingonberry Jam (rather than cranberry sauce)
4. Roast potatoes
5. Brussel Sprouts with almonds
6. Maple–roasted parsnips
7. Cornbread
8. Honey–Saffron bread
9. Green salad
And we'll be having hot spiced cider with gingerbread grissini for a starter,
and Chocolate Oblivion Truffle Cake for dessert. Phew! :)

Brussel sprouts. They are chopped fine, sauteed in brown butter with
lots of salt and pepper added at the end.

Oh, time to explain that gingerbread here is usually cookies, "pepparkakor".
There is also "soft pepparkaka" which I think is more what the rest of the

My son actually made this recipe and as a child he would never touch
Brussel sprouts. They are chopped fine, sauteed in brown butter with
lots of salt and pepper added at the end.
I also hated them as a kid but now I'm seriously into roasting
vegetables and learned to loved brussel sprouts that way. I just cut
single slits in them, toss them with a couple of tsp of olive oil, sea
salt and pepper and stick them in a 450 degree oven for about 20
minutes, tossing a couple of times during the cooking. They're so much
sweeter and nuttier than they are when they're just steamed and stinky :)

Also had a chestnut and cranberry stuffing in addition to the rice and
cornbreads stuffings in the turkey
turkey gravy
whipped vanilla sweet potatoes
roasted brussel sprouts with onions and prosciutto
cranberry orange relish
purchased an apple pear chardonnay pie from Balducci's
I need to get back on my diet and back into the gym this week!
