IF I'M SO DARN FAMOUS, WHY AM I DOING THE DISHES??

mad max beyond eggdome

well, it was a great thanksgiving. . .was up at 7:30 this morning, cooking all day long. . . my turkey and gravy were better than ever, the dr. chicken's double smoked ham was fantastic. . thanks to my little itialian hottie, giada de laurentiis for the unbelievable stuffing recipe!!. . . but now i'm sitting here, and the kids have dissappeared to tv land, the wife is back in the living room, mom and dad went home, and i'm sitting here with dishpan hands. .. . oh well that's what thanksgiving is like around here. . .[p]best thing is though, through a simple recipe on the forum, i've made a bunch of new friends. . .got about half a dozen phone calls from folks from new jersey to boston to san diego, to talk about different aspects of turkey prep. .. not a crank call in the bunch. . .to me this is what the fellowship of egging is all about, and i'm so thankful to be a part of it. ..[p]thanks all and i hope everyone had as great a thanksgiving as i did!!!

Happy Thanksgiving back atcha! I wonder what Nature Boy is doing? As for the lack of crank phone calls, don't worry, I think Crack Dongle will be calling as soon as the sun rises in his time zone and sets in yours! :-)

mad max beyond eggdome,[p]I'm right there with ya Max.
Spent all day cookin with my son, dinner came without a hitch, everyone was full and happy, yet there's this mountain of dishes,pans etc. etc.[p]Everyone is laughing having a great time, is what you have done, more than anyone else? Are dishes beyond you? The guy or gal that cooks the dinner and does the dishes is a frickin saint.[p]Heck, we love this stuff. Have fun after dinner and enyjoy what this day is all about.[p]My dishpan hands Mick

MMBE:[p]Good to hear you had a nice Thanksgiving and thanks for sharing your turkey technique. The Princess was a hit with a turkey and a Turducken and a bunch of nice sides here on the Spam Side of Brookhaven.[p]As for the Italian Hottie stuffing, is that the one entitled "Raffy's"?

mad max beyond eggdome,[p]If I wasn't in the same situation I'd offer to come do them for you. I've never cooked a turkey before but at the first occasion of passing the "who hosts the T-day feast" torch your recipe was such a success that I had four people whom I have heard decline gravy for four years ask for seconds of the gravy I made using your recipe. Not only did I take Drivers' Ed at the Indy 500 I took the checkered flag. I've been awake for about 44 of the last 48 hours preparing for this but this would not have come off without your recipe and help in these forums. I can only hope that one day I can give as much back as i have received.[p]My most profound thanks.
