On reflection, I must humbly ask the vegetarian regulars to extend some gracious humouring hither on that one.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. Dee and Deb, I am especially thankful for “discernment bloggers” like you who aren’t afraid to tackle the hard stuff and shine the light into Christendom’s ugly, spider-webby corners.

Have a great Thanksgiving everyone.

I really need to pop over the border for some of those deals!

dee– will it be turkey or the best lasagna? i’m willing to share the claim with you, Evie, and Janet.

but if we want to find out for sure & settle this once & for all, we can meet in the middle. Using the respective assumed home locations (northern California, north Carolina, Washington dc, and dallas), I just did some map calculations. The midway point is a field near Bolivar, Missouri (map coordinates: 37.644739,-93.425272). I’ll bring a folding table, red checked tablecloth, and drip candle. All are welcome to come & help vote — just let us know so we bring enough plates & forks.

I am thankful for many things. This morning, I am especially thankful that 35 years ago, God brought a wonderful young woman into my life and that we are still together, in love.

BTW, I have been the planner and chef for most thanksgiving day meals for years, buying, cooking, carving, serving. Not that she is not capable, and she does pitch in to help. But she and the kids always looked forward to the parades on the tube, and that is not my shtick, so I did the kitchen duties.

@ dee:
So, will need lots of garlic (I go through a whole one or more a week), sesame oil (preferably 100% or as near it as available), coconut oil, olive oil, cast iron skillet, cast iron dutch oven, lid to fit skillet and dutch oven, plus usual ingredients for the meal. If making turkey dinner, need yellow corn meal. I make a really rich giblet and egg gravy for the huge dish of dressing — my great grandmother’s recipe for both. My fave dishes are stir frys and soups with lots of onion, fresh mushrooms, and either chicken, kielbasa (Eckrich only), or ground sausage (Bob Evans or Owens). Also shrimp. And of course, garlic and sesame oil.

@ dee:
I also make a killer lasagna, recipe from an ancient Italian woman who lived in our neighborhood when I was growing up. When my sister married into an Italian American family, it was the only dish she knew how to fix, and she passed muster with our recipe. BTW, her husband was and is a great cook.

The only way to tell is to have a sponsored competition with a lot of judges. Personally, I cannot afford to travel to Missouri for a competition, b/c I practice as a neighborhood, poor people’s lawyer, and make less that the local district pays new school teachers. In fact my gross (before expenses of the practice) is less than the local new school teachers get paid. But it is my calling and ministry. So, unless sponsored, I could not compete. Do my friends that have tasted my lasagna think it is the best they have ever had? Yep. But that may be biased by their friendship. Who knows. BTW, I have been asked, in Texas, to modify the recipe and put in some serious heat, which I know how to do but don’t; I just pass out the jar of chopped jalapenos, the bottle of pepper sauce, and the containers of crushed or ground dried peppers (red, cayenne, habanero, etc.) which I keep around for my spouse and friends. I have some friends who cannot decide whether a dish needs salt until they make it 5-alarm hot!

Happy Thanksgiving to all TWW readers! Deb, I love the guitar Youtube – – I’m going to show it to my son who just started taking classical guitar.

Looking forward to my favorite foods of Thanksgiving: stuffing, cranberry sauce and my son’s pies (I have passed the baton since they have surpassed me!). I wish I could have my daughters at home, but we’ll connect via Skype.

An Attorney, your lasagna sounds like The Bomb.

btw, Nick’s comment about a tiny bit of raspberry jam makes sense to me.

Thanks, Numo – I feel like the King of Qin in the film “Hero” when Nameless reveals to him that Broken Sword realises what the king is trying to do. *

It comes down to a red wine sauce. One puts in both salty and sweet additions to bring out the richness of the wine; and the sweet usually comes from forest fruit. (A bit like presenting pan-fried steak, say, along with a blackberry or forest fruit reduction. Or turkey with cranberry sauce, for that matter. Or pork and apple… etc.)

* To those of you who’ve seen the film, this will make sense.

Probably.

God raised up prophets to keep Old Testament kings in check — even beloved King David had to be called out and brought to repentance by prophets.

Today it’s the same. Pastors who have nearly unlimited money and power need to have their excesses pointed out by modern Internet prophets.

Thank you, TWW.

@ Nick Bulbeck:

ok, nick — i’ll make you a deal. i’ll conduct my own taste test. i’ll make my wold’s best lasagna next week. i’ll make 2 batches of sauce, all variables exactly the same except one gets the raspberry jam.

how much are you thinking, proportions-wise? the recipe yields about 6 cups of sauce (crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, onion, garlic, oregano, basil, italian sausage, red wine).

i agree that a dash of fruity sweetness can make the savory pop… but, i dunno, heaven help the person who goes too far in lasagna experiments. but i’ll give it a shot & report back.

you may end up a celebrity, nick!

but I did roast some butternut squash yesterday – and set off the smoke alarm!

Back when we were in Glasgow, we used to have a toast alarm.

We tested it with smoking candles, smoking matches, etc – i.e., actual smoke – not a peep. But if you even so much as put bread in the toaster, it went beserk. We wondered about putting bits of bread at likely hot-spots around the flat so that the alarm might actually wake us up if there were a fire.

In other news, I’m getting nearer to completing the 7b problem at the climbing wall. I’ve cracked all the moves except the top one. Which, unfortunately, is the crux, and by the time you get there you’re cream crackered.

Our son made a creditable attempt at a slabby 6b this evening and seems finally to’ve got his teeth into climbing. Our daughter got halfway up a 6a+ which was quite impressive given her small reach. So climbing, at least, is going well.

@ numo:

A real man never cooks without it. (Well… unless he’s making cake, of course.)

I believe you have something similar called woo sesta-shyer sauce, or something like that. Don’t know whether it’s the same stuff, though.
