is it thanksgiving yet?? damn you guys are making me hungry! my favorite thanksgiving side has to be my mom's mashed potatoes. she mixes in cream cheese, sour cream, onion powder, salt, pepper, & butter. they are seriously to die for!! my mom was a home ec teacher - she's an awesome cook. nobody can beat her gravy, homemade (from scratch)waffles that are light as a feather, or her lasagna. she's italian, after all.

the hubby is an amazing cook as well. his specialty is chicken marsala. he also makes an AWESOME iron skillet pineapple upside down cake.

When people from Turkey eat turkey, is that cannibalism?

Nope. People from Turkey call themselves "Turkoman," not turkeys. :P

Besides, the official name for the country is Trkiye Cumhuriyeti anyway.

Arn't they "Turduckens?"
Isn't that what John Madden called them???LOL!
Anyway......i don't care much for turkey. It always seems so dry. I prefer one of those little 2 pound turkey loafs you bake. It's a mix of white and dark meat, no bones to mess with, and just enough for me and the wife with leftovers for a couple turkey sandwiches.
But i still like making tenderloin the most. Cut it so it's about 2 inches thick. Get some "liquid smoke". I use Colgin natural hickory. Put the cut up pieces in a ziplock bag, pour some liquid smoke in, rub it around all the pieces of tenderloin. Put it in the refrigerator for a few hours or over night. Take it out and let it sit in the bag to warm up a bit. Then heat a frying pan so that when you drop the steaks in they "sizzle". Cover, let them cook a few minutes, turn them over, let them cook till pink in the middle.
Taste's just like the were made on the grill, with no charcoal mess! Especially nice in the winter, when you are longing for a grilled steak.

Saw this story on ProFootballTalk and just had to bump this thread.

Payback time: Dez Bryant's $54,896 dinner

Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on September 28, 2010 3:17 PM ET
It's been a great week for Dallas receiver Roy Williams.

He had his best statistical day as a member of the Cowboys on Sunday, then he got revenge on rookie wideout Dez Bryant for that whole pads-carrying training camp incident.

At the time, Williams said it was no big deal if Bryant just took the team out to dinner. So Bryant ultimately offered to bring the offense to Pappas Bros. Steakhouse on Monday night, according to Calvin Watkins of ESPNDallas.com.

Williams decided to invite the defense as well. With all the extra mouths to feed and some take home bottles of wine, the bill came to $54,896.

"They got the young fella," Bryant's adviser David Wells said. "What could he say? He had to pay it unless he wanted to wash dishes for a month."

Wells clearly hasn't washed dishes before. At minimum wage salary in Texas and 40 hours a week, Bryant would be working until 2014 at least to pay that tab off.

Luckily for Bryant, he should be headed for his second NFL contract by then.

By my estimation, that's over $1000 a head, assuming all 53 on the roster counted as "offense" or "defense" some way. $2000+ if its just the starters.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

That's an impressive display of self-indulgence. Assuming he tips like a typical rich man, that means the tip came to approximately $5500. If tips more like I do, the tip could have been upwards of $14,000!

If he didn't pay he would have to "wash dishes for a month"????
Since when does a dishwasher get paid over $13,000.00 a week?
I want to wash dishes at THAT place!!!

Zero2Cool (14h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.

Zero2Cool (14h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.

Mucky Tundra (15h) : Kanata, seek help! lol

beast (17h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status

Zero2Cool (17h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : That was terrible.

TheKanataThrilla (18h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.

beast (18h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent

beast (18h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime

beast (18h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing

Zero2Cool (19h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is

Zero2Cool (19h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true

beast (20h) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management

wpr (22h) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago

beast (27-Dec) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.

packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it

beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done

Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.

Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore

packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!

Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!

beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁

beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won

Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier

buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol

Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???

Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.

packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.

bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.

Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?

bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference

Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network

beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
