Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

For all that celebrate it have a great day. For those that don't, you have a great day too! Can't wait till next year to have a table full of AP grown food!!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I just made up a huge bowl of cranberry relish. The girls can't get enough of the stuff. We're keeping things simple this year--just the four of us. Dinner will be a turkey breast, two kinds of stuffing (Husband wants to try oyster stuffing; I think its a waste of good bread cubes.), salad, cranberry relish, and a sweet potato pie.

This time last year, I was struggling to make a looped autosiphon.

From looped siphon to cranberry relish..... you've come a long way in a short time Janet

Happy Thanksgiving to all you folk over there.... be happy and be thankful

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!

We're having four pumpkin pies, two apple pies, a pecan pie, 12 lb turkey, dressing, sweet potato casserole (it's like pureed with pecans and brown sugar on top), corn casserole, and rolls. Just took the apple pies out of te oven and just now put the turkey in a bag and into the oven. Mmmm

Wow Dave! You're going to need help getting out of bed tomorrow!

Forgot to mention the mashed potatoes and gravy too.

BTW, this is a 1:1 pie to human ratio.

Mmmm...what's the recipe for corn casserole, Dave?

My sweet potato pie just came out of the oven. Stuffing and turkey going in soon. Wine is opened already.

I just finished some great sweet potatoe pie, corn cassarole, turkey and dressing!! I'm trying to figure out how to make room for desert. I know there is homemade pumpkin cheesecake, cranberry bread pudding w/ice cream and bourbon pecan pie.

I've been doing the weight watcher thing since July but I think I'll have to lie about my points today!!

Besides all that, many of our family and best friends are here... It doesn't get much better.

Janet if you need a really good recipe for corn cassarole let me know.

have a lovely, happy, safe Thanksgiving

Our corn casserole is like one can of creamed corn one can of regular corn, a box of Jiffy corn muffin mix and like some milk or something. It's OK, but we have a recipe for a kind of scalloped corn casserole from my MIL's friend that I think we should do instead.

BTW, dinner wiped me out and I'm just now getting some pie after a two hour nap.

The cranberry bread pudding sounds good to me Jazz, my wife likes the canned jello crap.

The cranberry bread pudding was to die for.... If you want the recipe let me know.

Please do there's always next year, or maybe it's good for Christmas too?

I'm asking--I'm asking!! I'd love to see the corn casserole recipe, Mark. And for that matter, my mother would love to see the recipe for cranberry bread pudding. Sounds wonderful.

Turkey, stuffing and gravy for breakfast. Mmmmmm..

Ok. Here's the bread pudding and corn casserole recipes. My wife corrected me that it's not called cranberry bread pudding. My mistake. It's called pumpkin bread pudding but it does have cranberries in it and it IS to die for!!
