    E-man,
    Thanks!I was trying to guess what it was last night and I settled on Bangers=sausage and Mash=Beer.
    We eat mashed potatoes here but I never have tried mixing in an egg.
    I will have to try it.

    Prisca,
    root beer n. A carbonated soft drink made from extracts of certain plant roots and herbs.
    I think sassafrass is one of the root flavorings.

    Mulan,
    This will be my first year to do the decorated cookies too.
    I do have a recipie for the cookies and the icing if you want it.
    BUTTERY ALMOND CUTOUTS

    Nathan gets the Meat Loaf price if for no other reason than getting the glaze right. Mine is made with catsup, mustard, brown sugar and worchestershire sauce, but his works too.

    Gibblet stuffing (for your bird)

    dry out an entire loaf of bread in a paper sack (about three or four days)

    Boil the gibblets of the turkey, chicken or what have you to include the neck.

    spice the water with sage, salt, and pepper.

    break bread crumbs into about one inch peices.

    when giblets cool (over night in the fridge?) strip the meat off the neck, dice the gibblets.

    dice an onion and about 1 cup diced celery, saute in butter until tender adding salt and pepper to taste with 3 table spoons sage, 1 table spoon poultry seasoning. When veggies are done, add gibblets to the mix and then pour over the bread crumbs. Add a cup or so of the broth from the boiled gibblets (you saved it, right?). Add enough of the broth to make the bread moist, but not wet. Stuff the bird with it. If you have left over stuffing mix, put it in the fridge and when the bird is done, pour a bit of the broth ever the mixture and cook in oven until warm.

    I also made 2 Pumpkin and one sweet potatoe pie (I even made the crust myself) and a "Chrismas Pudding" Ala A Christmas Carol. YUMMY STUFF.

    Prisca:

    Ginger beer is I think, the same as Ginger Ale in Britain and Canada. Not sure what the Americans call it.

    Root beer, on the other hand, is a truly vile concoction that really does taste like antiseptic soaked dirt. Not sweet at all! Yuck.

    I nicked this from a recipe site because it sounds like it has the same explosive qualities that my dads version used to have, we lived in a maisonette and he used to make it in big containers and keep them in the communal shed area on the ground floor, he stopped making it after the entire block got woken by the explosion when they decided to go off one night,the smell was awesome, this recipe only makes a couple of gallons so it should be a bit quieter

    Ginger Beer

    Recipe By : Harrowsmith Reader
    Serving Size : 20 Preparation Time :0:00
    Categories : Beverages

    Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
    -------- ------------ --------------------------------
    2 gallons boiling water -- 256 oz.
    2 lemon -- thinly sliced
    1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
    2 pounds sugar, granulated
    2 ounces ginger -- chopped
    1/2 teaspoon yeast

    Boil the water in a stainless steel or enamel pot. Add all remaining
    ingredients except the yeast. Simmer 20 minutes. Cool to lukewarm and taste.
    Add more ginger for a livelier flavour.
    Dissolve yeast in one cup of the mixture and stir back in. Cover and allow to
    ferment 34-36 hours at 65-70F, i.e. mix it in the morning and bottle the next
    evening. When a slight white skin of foam appears on the top of the brew it is
    ready to bottle.
    Siphon or pour into sterlized bottles removing any lemon slices. After capping
    age the bottles upright for one week at 60-65F then store in the refrigerator o
    r
    basement cool room below 60F. NB: This cool
    storage is very important.

    NOTES :
    Instead of sliced lemons you may use 4 tbsp. lemon juice. Instead of chopped
    ginger you may use 4 tsp. powdered ginger.
    The resulting beverage was very fizzy and seemed to become more fizzy the longe
    r
    it
    was stored. Our supply was gone in a month and by the end the caps were almost
    removing themselves from the bottles!

    The first big meals I had here in the USA, after having lived over 30 years in France, were to me quite astounding, to say the least...
    Quite bland, and over so fast... Everything is put on the table all at once, and in less than 30 minutes,it's all finished....

    I was used to holiday meals that lasted for 3 or 4 hours, or more !

    And who has heard of serving huge glasses of milk with a meal of turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, squash, pies... etc ???

    So I started to invite people and tried to serve the meal like we do in France, Apéritif... Appetizers... Main dish with different vegetables... Cheese platter... Dessert... And for God's sake : Wine and not Milk !

    Celia,
    I always serve wine with my holiday dinners! Never heard of anyone serving milk except to the kids -- how odd.

    Occasionally, I find myself relating to the "Got Milk?" commercial. You just HAVE TO drink a big glass of cold milk with -- homemade chocolate chip cookies or chocolate cake.
