HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted November 27, 2015 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 I don't do anything very special with my turkey. Just the usual seasonings. We ate at my brother in laws. Somebody else fried the turkeys. My responsibility was mashed potatoes. I had to make 10#.

HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted November 28, 2015 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Yep, there was ALOT of peeling. I use heavy whipping cream, lots of butter then season. I use a colander to push the potatoes through after cooking. This ensures nice and smooth with no lumps. Are they extremely high calorie? Yep, but who cares?

Of course - but who wants to live forever? Actually, butter is much more healthier than we used to think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted November 29, 2015 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I believe most here in the U.S generally have Turkey on Thanksgiving and ham on Christmas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted November 29, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I believe most here in the U.S generally have Turkey on Thanksgiving and ham on Christmas Interesting - we eat ham on Easter, then we have so called Easter Breakfast after church service when we eat ham with eggs and the rest.

HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted November 29, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 We eat turkey on Thanksgiving and either ham or turkey on Christmas depending on which family we are with. Easter is ham also. Ivana, I live in Plattsburgh, NY. It's a small town in the northeast corner of New York State along Lake Champlain and just north of the beautiful Adirondack mountains. One hour south of Montreal Canada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted November 30, 2015 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 MaryBeth I am from a little further south than you. It depended on which part of the family we were visiting for Christmas. Easter is usually ham. One constant being that my family migrated from Ireland, always potatoes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted November 30, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 We came from Italy. Always a pasta dish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Ivana Marinac Posted November 30, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Well, in my country potato is main side-dish but I like more pasta and prefer whenever I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted November 30, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Well I my family growing up we had turkey at thanksgiving and ham or turkey at Christmas. Now it's always turkey. My family traditions vary. My father was from Austria which we visited many times to see his family. But now my parents have both already past away so we celebrate Christmas with my husbands family which his mom is from Finland!! So many traditions here. We usually put our tree up around the beginning of December. Oh growing up we always had candles on our tree. That was my fathers family tradition. With a side of Austrian chocolate!! Now I get Stollen for Christmas the kind with Marzipan in it. My mother in law and I really enjoy this together!! We also celebrate Christmas with my fathers family before Christmas as we all have many families. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Adam Posted November 30, 2015 Author HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Haven't heard of stolen with marzipan. Would sound great as long as you dont add the candied fruit. Not a fan of the candied fruit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Kara of Canada Posted November 30, 2015 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 The is some candied fruit but the pieces are so small it is so good. It comes without marzipan as well. I get the Kuchenmeister brand right in the local grocery store. It comes from Germany. The is some candied fruit but the pieces are so small it is so good.
