I had to laugh when I read the paper plates and Stove Top stuffing~ Just wanted to let you know, that’s how we roll in my house. It was great.

Pilgrim-hole, hehe. You always make me smile. Judging by the photos, everything went well, and I’m glad. Happy Thanksgiving!

I need pics of that Jello salad. Seriously. I can’t even picture what it looks like :)

I saw/tasted my first and last aspic this summer. Sweet Jeebus it was nasty.

My mom makes a yummy jellied salad. Prepare cherry jello and add a can of cranberry. When it’s half way set, wisk in a small container of sour cream(25o ml – canadian measurements not sure what that is in us) and let it finish setting. It sounds terrible but it’s really good with turkey or chicken. You have to use full calorie/fat ingredients or it wont set though :\

We too have sort of a Gourmet kind of family and yet our single greatest tradition?

Stovetop Stuffing.

Seriously, that stuff rocks.

Glad you survived Linda. It woudl suck if your very last post was a Jello salad recipe. (No offense to Aunt Eileen.)

We went to Jay’s grandmother’s house, where there exists no internet, which is why I am late commenting. :) Hope your meal went fabulously!

Our singular family oddball recipe is called “Mormon Salad”, and we call it that because… well, my family are mormons. And it’s a jello salad.

Mix together in a large bowl: 1 container of coolwhip, 1 container cottage cheese, and 1 packet of pistachio pudding mix. Chill and serve. Ta-da!

“…crawl into a closet and suck on dog hair.” = AWESOME. And I can totally identify.

Im having a really hard time envisioning what that jello salad must taste like…..I’ll take your word for it that its good. ;)

We were feeling all sorry for ourselves that we are too far away to spend Thanksgiving with family so we came to Singapore this week instead. We have reservations at one of the hotels for ‘Thanksgiving dinner’….but we may forego that and eat something local instead.

@ Fran & Nancy – I’m Canadian and we have tomato aspic at Christmas. Really only my mother (age 90) and I like it. Our father used to call it tomato aspenic and as soon as we sat at the table announce to everyone, “You don’t have to eat THAT” while pointing at the aspic. I had forgotten about putting olives and such in it. We put some chopped green onions in now. My husband calls the weird traditional recipes “church basement food” because the church basement pot lucks were where you could find them ALL!
Happy thanksgiving!
