Perhaps, to someone, it tastes good, but still... who thought it up?

someone with no more meat left for the family so they came up with what to do with the rime of stock they had in the pan.

I'd know--we eat gizzards at thanksgiving.

For years, my dear Pop thought that giving his friends these little hard bricks of dry, chewy, sticky, cubed, candied, plastic-tasting so-called "fruitcake" was a really good idea. They're made in Claxton, Georgia, and have been around for something like 100 years. How this has happened, I have no idea. Apparently, there are some people who actually *like* these things. They'd make great door stoppers.

Me?? I'd only give them to someone whom I really, really didn't like.

I think this stuff would survive years and years of re-gifting. The shelf life of them has to be at least 25 years. They probably stock them in fallout shelters.

I can understand liking some fruitcakes. There are some I really like, but....The Claxton breed??? Oh no.

You'd be pulling it out of and from between your teeth 'til perdition.

Oh, and I saw this the other day, out here at MY COMMISSARY!!!!

<insert theme to "Jaws" here>

It looks suspiciously like The Claxton Fruitcake...."born again" into a Hostess wrapper. I think it is trying to deceive us and ride on the coat tails of The Twinkie.

Pop said that he likes this stuff with his coffee. I think he's using the coffee to soak it out of his teeth.

I can't abide holiday food. Turkey, unless it's a top dollar free range rare breed bird, is so bland. Last year we had a rather voluptuous paella.

paella is not paella unless it is voluptuous.

You are correct. It should 'relax' into the bowl like risotto and be resplendent with serious quantities of seafood.

Gizzards aren't really a stretch. Aspic is pretty darn... creative.

Oh my gosh I have been nasious feeling for about 3 weeks now. The smell of food makes me sick then eating food makes me sick. i didn't think that looking at pictures of food could make me sick until now. OMG these dishes are NASTY what is wrong with people.

I have to say the description of the deer and cheries. OMG almost had me grabing the trash can on that. Lordy I never knew. Then the picture of the Aspic dish.. Ummm maybe this thread isn't for me. Wowzers

Last night laying in bed Panama and I were talking about thanksgiving dinner and what we want to do. Hys family tradition is to go to Golden Corral which the food there is okay not the best but not the worst however my family always had the big family gathering at someone's house everyone brought something.

So we are going to Golden Corral which hy knows I am not too excited about but it will be nice spending time with hys mom and her friend and try something new. Then the idea poped in hys handsome head to do both. We can have a small turkey and everything here and go there. OH MY GOSH.... okay I love to bake and I love to cook the turkey, and I love hym for thinking of me and trying to make sure I am happy too.

Then the idea that hy had was to make hys grandmother's side dish. Oh its jello again....

lemon jello with shredded carrots and celery.

I looked at hym and said "maybe we just go out to dinner."

I kissed hym sweetly and went to sleep before more idea's could come up.

I love you Pan I really do but veggies do NOT belong in desserts.
