Bassy, it is far from hilarious, though there are funny moments...it is actually disgusting. But I truly hope you have a lot of fun, and congratulations on your mile marker!! May there be many more. My wife adn I moved her brother out here to Wa to help him beat it, you know the change of scenery adn all...he beat it for a long time, about 5 years, but moved back to South Carolina nad got right back into it...he has Grand Mal seizures, now has Hepatitis C, has menatl problems, and liver trouble, and actually I think he is dying from alcohol poison, just slowly...what a tragtedy, he is only in his 40's...once he was found in a ditch unconcious while on his job...noone can seem to help him...<br /><br />And, holidays, any of them, seem to make family losses so sad...my prayers to all who are having to celebrate with less family this year. I remember losing my brother in 1980 two days after Christmas...he was killed while performing an armed robbery by a rookie cop who was scared to death even before being the one who located Larry on a lonely deserted street at 2AM alone...it is a hard thing to forget after even twenty years!!!!
<br /><br />Even though I do not celebrate Christmas as a religious holiday, I do get together with friends adn enjoy a nice meal and give thanks to God for a wonderful family!!! We generally have all the things that Thanksgiving brings, with me baking a ham, someone else deep frying a turkey, lots of devilled egge, cranberry sauce, stufing adn gravy, mashed potatoes, lots of desserts, breads, candies, I guess you name it and it will be there...teh only missing factor is alcohol for sure!!! Thank God He delivered me from that sickness over twenty six years ago...Hats off to you! don't ever stop...sl
HELP is on the way for you this year.<br />And you can thank your iboats friends. In this case Boomyal <br />I made a seperate post I think I called "Boomyal you Turkey" just to thank him for the recipe.<br />I havent tried it yet with a roasted/baked turkey, but if it works as well as it did with my smoked Turkey you are in for a REAL treat!<br /><br />In the recipe it talks about using the right container<br />
K-Mart sells a 21 or 29 quart enamel pot for 16 dollars. Look for the biggest one they have. And be carefull as enamel chips easy.<br /><br />Here is the link for my thanks to him and also includes the "Ultimate Brine For Turkey" <br /><br /> http://www.iboats.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=20;t=007119#000000 <br /><br />Try it, you will like it and post afterwards.<br /><br />Self Edit: Congratulations Bassey! (sp) When and if I give up smoking I will except the same from you.

...................................................................................<br /> I will be making rosemary, garlic pork roast on thursday afternoon and not sure yet if we will be doing another dinner on Christmas day. <br /><br />Sausage Bread.<br /><br />Here is the requested sausage brunch loaf. really easy to make and when its baking the smells drive ya nuts. no matter where she has brought this there is always requests to bring it next time. In fact she has to make it for christmas eve and new years eve party up at the lake. this is one of the few things my wife can cook. usually i do all the cooking but she does make a killer lasagna too. personally i think she pretends not to know how to cook just so i do it.<br /><br />1 lb loaf frozen white bread<br />1 lb pork sausage. (i like it with jimmy deans hot, but when she makes it for other people she just uses the regular jimmy dean breakfast sausage)<br />11/2 cup Mozzarella cheese<br />1/2 tsp italian seasoning or 1/4 tsp each basil & oregano<br />two eggs<br />Defrost bread and roll into an 18 x6 rectangle. cook sausage and cool. Mix cheese, herbs and 1 egg into sausage. place in center of bread and pinch together. bend into shape of circle and pinch ends together. she uses a round cake pan and sprays it with pam first. beat second egg and brush on bread. cut slites in the bread let rise 2 hours back at 325 degrees about 25 minutes. <br />we have add different ingreideints for a change such as green peppers. onion, mushrooms. about the only one i really liked was the mushrooms and onions. usually just make according to the recipe.
