Stuffing Your Turkey Posted: 11/23/2009 4:41:01 PM
^^^^Yep, pre-seasoned bread crumbs or cubes, that's how I do it. Make sure the package does state seasoned with sage. Whelp! Read the package ingredients, not only does it not say sage, it only says "spices" but it also has high fructose corn syrup in it! Very disappointing BUT not going to return it NOW! I'm guessing the spices include sage, at least they better! My dad was a pretty good cook back in the day, and he is a sticker for doing things from scratch, including toasting and shredding the bread and adding all the seasonings. A few years ago I had mom and dad at my home for Thanksgiving and he praised my dressing/stuffing up and down. He was amazed that I could cook so well. I was relieved. That's what's so good about home-cooking from scratch, you have complete control over every ingredient that goes into the food and therefore into your body, but sometimes the easier way (as in pre-seasoned bread crumbs) allows for the time needed to pull everything together without going bonkers.

Actually, just flash him your boobs and then walk away. It A) brings us out of our nothing box REALLY fast; B) puts everything in precise perspective (what problem could be more important than nekkid boobs?); C) Confuses the hell out of us; D) will get you the most hilarious look! Pete, I can't wait for you to see the pic of the 'shrooms I took tonight! (They go nicely with the stinkhorns!)

Stuffing Your Turkey Posted: 11/23/2009 11:44:21 AM
I'm also enjoying reading all the different ways people cook their turkeys and stuffing and/or dressing. I'm assuming the pre-seasoned bread crumbs I bought have the sage flavoring. I bought REAL butter (no substitutions this time) and chicken broth to use instead of water, too.

Well, anything you put inside the cavity could be considered "stuffing." So you're stuffing it with other stuff than breading... apples, oranges, celery, garlic, butter, whatever, it's still "stuffing."

I watched the video and thought it was funny. I believe it's true, most men are prone to compartmentalizing the different aspects of their lives than women. However, it's not so black and white and women are not ruled by emotions and lacking a box of "nothing." I believe I have a "nothing box" and I'm in it very often. This type of humor, although on the surface is hilarious, is ultimately if you look beyond the surface humor, incorrect. It implies women have no ability to be calm, to be objective, to be rational, to be meditative, to be detached when necessary, and totally ruled by random emotions, and this is incorrect.

Well I failed THAT test, I googled "Beatles Live and Let Die" and got the lyrics but upon further research you are correct. I have Wings albums but that particular song obviously didn't stand out distinctively in my mind as Wings. In any event, my point was the title of this thread, combined with the posters above mentioning the Beatles, made me think of that song. Favorite Wings song.... SILLY LOVE SONGS! Just looked up the you tube video, love it. Why can't love be so "simple?"

Well I'd certainly pass the Beatle's test, but I'm older than you, guess that doesn't count! The title of this thread reminds me of the Beatle's song: Lyrics to Live And Let Die : When you were young and your heart was an open book, You used to say live and let live, (You know you did, you know you did, you know you did) But if this ever-changing world in which we live in Makes you give it a cry, Say live and let die! Live and let die, Live and let die, Live and let die. What does it matter to ya, When you've got a job to do you gotta do it well, You gotta give the other fellow hell! You used to say live and let live, (You know you did, you know you did, you know you did) But if this ever-changing world in which we live in Makes you give it a cry, Say live and let die! Live and let die, Live and let die, Live and let die.

Stuffing Your Turkey Posted: 11/22/2009 5:57:38 PM
We've always had stuffed turkey and today I bought a 15 lb. fresh turkey and I'm going to stuff it the way always have, with Pepperidge Farm seasoned crumbs with sauteed celery and onion. I put as much stuffing inside as I can and whatever's leftover will go in a separate casserole dish. I always like the stuffing from inside the turkey the best. Don't know anyone who ever got sick. I was researching cooking times today, I think it said 15-20 minutes per l pound of turkey, and add an extra 10 minutes per pound if it's stuffed "to be on the safe side." Sounds a bit long to me though. I don't use a cooking bag, just roast it in a pan covered loosely with foil and baste occasionally. Helpful tips appreciated. We had a stuffed turkey at work on Thursday and even though the woman who made it didn't think it was "done enough on the inside" we ate it (meat and stuffing) and no one got sick. vvvvv we also always took all the stuffing out of the turkey after it's done cooking.

Perhaps you spend some of your gift points in buying a gift to send with an email, a balloon, smile, glass of wine, teddy bear, etc.? Nope! My profile's hidden and I'm here only for the Forums and Events. I don't think I ever 'lost' points...not that I would have noticed, though. Yea, I know, that's how exciting my life is. I used to have a theme then I lost it when I deleted my account, so I want it back. Out of curiousity, I checked my points...I had 6040. I bought a theme. Now I have 1040 points left. You have EXTRA points and can buy someone a gift - I'm jealous!

Jim, it's funny, the article that said it was false about baking soda working for odors said that charcoal, however, does work. Re: alcohol, I had a friend over once who doesn't drink alcohol and we shared a package of cheese fondue. She kept mentioning the alcohol and how much she could taste it and I think she was afraid she'd get drunk! It was soooooo good tho.

Green, White, or Yellow? Posted: 11/14/2009 5:50:26 PM
I haven't thought of this in a long time, but my best girlfriend growing up loved raw onions, and her father had a vegetable garden, I don't know if it was their own raw onions they used but they used to make grilled bread loaded with chopped fresh onion and salt and pepper - it was very spicy but so good, and hard to duplicate. I personally favor Vidalia for it's mildness, the others better for clearing the sinuses! I read somewhere that yellow is best for the anti-cancer properties. I like scallions in soups or salads, yellow is probably best to cook with, and red onion in salad only for me, or raw on a hamburger.

Serendipity? Posted: 11/14/2009 4:56:16 PM
I have gone back with two ex's, both after about 20 years, one I contacted initially, the other we just "ran into" each other. I had feelings for both of them (and still do) but neither relationship was meant to be, they just ended up causing more pain in the end (i.e., ended not on friendly happy terms). One of them had left me in the past, and the other one, I had left, we were all young, in our 20's, at the time. For different reasons, I was the one who decided that neither one of them was the man I'm meant to spend the rest of my life with, and I don't see the point in wasting time being exclusive with someone if I feel that. Whether that is someone's fault, or whether that's any indication how things might turn out for someone else, I don't know, and I don't think anybody really can know.

This got me wondering about some other myths so I found this very interesting, question is, who's the true authority on these things? I've always heard if you cook with alcohol the alcohol burns off while cooking, this says False but then concedes it's "less than" originally but not totally non-alcoholic. Just one example from: http://www.pgacon.com/KitchenMyths.htm I was surprised about the baking soda though, I always thought it really did help with odors, or humidity, or something.

Cooking Myths Posted: 11/14/2009 7:07:11 AM
Obviously brown sugar/white sugar is different than brown rice/white rice, as we DO know whole grain is unrefined (or less refined than the white variety). Would you agree all sugar HAS to be refined in order to extract it and crystallize it from the sugarcane? I have organic cane sugar and it says this on the container: ... organic cane sugar is harvested and milled the same day, right on our Florida farm. We use a special single crystallization process that preserves the original flavor of sun-sweetened sugarcane without the use of additives, preservatives, or animal by-products. Our process presses fresh sugarcane to produce a cane juice that is washed and filtered. The cane juice is then heated with steam to evaporate the water, concentrating it into a golden syrup that is crystallized and dried ...

Sex? What's that? I "somehow" ran across a YouTube video last night on "how to hard boil eggs" which was very informative but made me wonder about all these people making YouTube videos in their own homes, showing how they do all kinds of things... unbelievable the things you can learn there, you feel like you're in their home with them and they're talking only to you. If I recall he added a little salt to help prevent cracking and a little vinegar to prevent the whites from running all over the place in case they do crack. Waiting to hear about some other myths besides resting meat!

holidays travel Posted: 11/11/2009 2:42:16 PM
Hello Racething. I'm also not traveling. My brother lives in California, sister used to, and my mother and I have lived in Florida for many years. My sister moved back here a couple years ago. Mom used to go to California for either Thanksgiving or Christmas, this year she's going at Christmas, so Mom and sister have told me I have to cook "the turkey." I said fine, but it will be a healthy one with no antibiotics or hormones. They were saying that's all we need besides mashed potatoes (which my sister will buy already pre-made)! I said we have to have stuffing and sweet potatoes. They said we don't need sweet potatoes, I said not the kind with marshmallow or sugar added, it's easy to put them plain in the oven with the turkey. We also must have some other kind of vegetable (green beans, corn?) and pumpkin pie . They said we don't need pie! I beg to differ. I'm full and tired already. I always stay here for the holidays, dislike the idea of traveling when the rest of the country is, then always read about everyone getting stuck at airports. I also need to be frugal so even road-tripping is on the back-burner for now. Happy Thanksgiving, I hope you won't be alone (unless you want to be, sometimes I prefer it that way!).

Removing non-religious, and replacing. Posted: 11/9/2009 9:00:52 PM
Interesting suggestion. I was thinking it would be more beneficial to remove the Category "Non-Religious" and replace it with Atheist, Agnostic, or non-practicing Christian. Does not include all non-religious people! How about this, Keep "Non-religious" and add in this category: "I do not believe god." Also does not include all non-religious people. I recently experienced someone starting a topic that in a way belittled those who choose "non-religious" on their profiles, so I had the option to just put "didn't answer." Some people believe in God and spirituallity as ONENESS of all, we are all humans on the same Earth and they do not believe in ORGANIZED religion, does not mean they don't believe in God, per se (therefore Atheist or Agnostic?), or that they have no values.

The Heart Attack Posted: 11/9/2009 8:52:50 PM
I agree that the Heart Attack Grill videos were, although intriquing, and amusing to a degree, sad in the sense it's making light of, and encouraging, such unhealthy eating. Real doctors on hand "just in case" etc., just seems so unconscionable and irresponsible and almost a parody of the actual state of this country. So OP, your sandwich, although it sounds good, when you're in the ER with a clogged artery may not seem like such a good idea. Tonite I had Kentucky Fried Chicken wings for dinner, with their mashed potatoes and gravy. I KNEW it was bad but I didn't care, but I eat healthy MOST of the time. Even if it is double-cream brie! oh and bacon too, but I try to eat only the crispy part.

Do we really want to be in a relationship? Posted: 11/8/2009 5:46:52 AM
I agree Pete there are a lot of people who think they're ready who aren't. Of course you know I don't agree with if you're not, why be on here. You also know I don't agree everyone should want one. I think it is most important to know where you're at in your life and be as honest as possible. If you know you're not ready for a relationship (and many people do) then tell people that (and many do). Problem is many people don't listen or believe them. I could never understand people who get very serious with people, have exclusive relationships then break up and 2 days later are in love again, or totally sure they met "the one." They continue this cycle constantly without ever taking a break to get to know themselves. I've always needed a break between involvements with people, never just jumped right into another person. Also, you may be totally ready for a relationship, start dating someone you're attracted to, then realize 1-3-6 months down the road, they are not the right person. These things are legitimate. Your points are also legitimate, there are those too, finding red flags and always something wrong. At our ages, however, I do believe that it is harder for many people, after their life experiences, to really find the right person to "settle down" with, and from what I've been reading on the forums, it's hard for younger people too. Going into the reasons is kind of a waste of time but there's the bad economy, which I think makes dating and relationships harder to sustain when you can't afford to date or worried about losing your job, finding a job, etc. It's just harder for a lot of people to focus on other things when under stress. So there are legitimate reasons for not wanting or being ready for a relationship, but if you are saying you are ready, then you should truly be ready, and it is not incumbent upon anyone to accept anything less than they'll be happy with!

Do we really want to be in a relationship? Posted: 11/7/2009 6:58:39 PM
Do we really want to be in a relationship? Posted: 11/2/2009 1127 AM Ok boys and girls (Yes this is going to be a redundant thread, so what....lol) The question "Do you really want to be in a relationship?" If the answer is no then the standard questions come to mind: 1) why not? 2) Why are you here? Duh What I found interesting is in the title, the question is in the plural, "Do we want to be in a relationship?" However, in the OP, it is changed to "Do you really want to be in a relationship?" Two totally different questions. #1, do WE? That would mean both parties have already accepted and come to terms with the fact they individually want A relationship, but then the issue is do WE want one with EACH OTHER. #2, the question is more specific, do YOU want one? Both questions have to be addressed along the path, FIRST you have to answer #2, do YOU want one. If you do want a relationship, then you have the people who (1) are able and ready to have a relationship, and know it; (2) know they want one, but have issues preventing them from doing so. (3) THINK they want one but don't REALLY want one, therefore they have issues they haven't even become aware of yet. Then there are those who know they don't want one, at least for the current moment, and are very well aware of all the reasons and issues why. Is it incumbent upon anyone to REALLY want to be in a relationship? Is it incumbent upon anyone to be ready for one JUST BECAUSE they are here, on a dating site? Is it incumbent upon anyone even if they are ready, to be ready for you???? Really, it is NOT that black and white, cut and dried, some people KNOW they are ready and what they want and they ARE, some think they know and think they are ready, but they are NOT, some KNOW they are not ready. Just because you are ready (or think you are) doesn't mean everyone else should be ready (especially for you)! But I think what you really mean is there ARE too many people who CLAIM to want a relationship who aren't willing to put forth the effort? Or they SAY they want one but their actions don't match their words?

I never heard of "resting" meat but that's not surprising. Someone told me if I add vinegar to boiling water before adding eggs for hard-boiling, their shells won't crack. Since I've been doing that many less eggs with cracked shells, so guess it wasn't a myth.

Stuffed peppers Posted: 11/6/2009 6:30:46 PM
I made stuffed peppers tonight, they were very good, even my son and his friend liked them. I cooked 1 cup of organic brown rice according to package (takes about 45 minutes), then mixed it with Maverick Ranch extra lean ground beef, stuffed that into 3 fresh red bell peppers (tops cut off and seeded of course), put them in a baking dish and covered with two 8 oz. cans of organic tomato sauce, and baked in the oven till "done." Very easy, didn't even need any spices. Have leftover rice so might make it again!

I posted not too long ago that I had just seen the movie Julie and Julia, and I never buy cookbooks but I decided to stop at Target and see if they had Julia's book, The Art of French Cooking, which they DID and which I purchased, of course. I haven't taken the time since then to just relax and peruse, and I'm only going to attempt what sounds easy (unlike Julie).

Would love to be there, had a great time last time, just not sure can swing it with the timing and other things going on! Would feel like a reunion since there's quite a few going who I've met in Sarasota and the last Melbourne in June. Remember the rainbow!

Do you really like the opposite sex? Posted: 11/6/2009 6:37:21 AM
I think the best line I ever read about this was in Hallie's profile. I'll probably misquote her, but it was similar to this, "The only time I'll play games with you, is if we are on the same team." So, yes I like the opposite sex, as long as they aren't playing games on another team. Thanks for reminding me of that Bob. I've since taken it off but I think I'll put it back on. As far as do I really like the opposite sex, the answer is what others said, depends on the person more than the sex. Their attitude, their values, their personality, etc. I try not to let preconceived judgments of any group of people in general affect my feelings towards any one individual, and it's not always easy. I often feel preconceived judgments are directed towards me and I don't like how that feels at all. I like some men and I like some women, but of course not all of them. In general, to be honest, I do see a negative attitude and preconceived judgments from both genders to the other which we've witnessed in the gender wars here over and over again, and that may boil down to the core issue of whether one truly likes the opposite sex or not. Unfortunately we're all encountering too many people who justify those generalizations.

need to drink alcohol to enjoy sex? Posted: 10/8/2009 7:05:58 AM
I think Ismene's two reasons are probably the two biggest reasons why people don't drink and I agree they wouldn't be compatible lifestyle-wise with someone who does enjoy the things she mentioned doing together. There are also those people who have never had alcohol and say they just don't like the taste of it. There are those who may be against altering their consciousness in any way or just don't want to drink because they feel it's unhealthy. There are those with medical issues and/or on medications that preclude drinking. If someone NEEDS alcohol to enjoy sex then most likely they're with the wrong partner OR they have intimacy issues OR they're alcoholics, would be my guess.

Oyster season is coming.. How do you like them? Posted: 10/7/2009 5:18:33 PM
I like mine like Beth, Oysters Rockefeller, only very few restaurants know how to do it right (I don't) but with real Hollandaise rather than cheese please, and 6 instead of 4 please (even better 8), or I like them fried. Raw is good but I'm too afraid of getting sick, even the Rockefeller is pretty undercooked much of the time, but I take my risks, like lapilot, a fellow foodie, I like my egg yolks runny also, despite the risks.
