Location: London, England | Hey Cyndi, Yep, it's lovely stuff-as you are a foodie, have you ever tried balsamic sauce? You cook balsamic vinegar, orange juice, a knob of butter until it's reduced, add some mushrooms after a few minutes of cooking, perhaps a little salt and pepper, then put it under a great big steak. I'm looking forward to my first heart attack Nick | ||

I'm looking forward to my first heart attack Nick Oh yes, absolutely I love Balsamic Vinegar. I eat it with everything. You know, that is one of the things I'm looking forward to when I travel to Italy...the BV and OLIVE OIL! Those mushrooms sound very good, I'll have to try that. Although...I won't be eating them with a steak...wonder how Venison would taste??? There will be no heart attack, delete that. Besides, Venison is more heart healthy ya know, | ||

Location: London, England | Hi Cyndi, Yes, venison should work-it's got a strong taste. Italy should be great for those taste buds, what with all the virgins you'll be sampling (virgin olive oils, that is ). I guess the trick is to get away from those tourist traps, where the food is over-priced and the restaurants are catering for foreign tastes. Have fun! Nick | ||

Nick That won't be hard to do seeing as how I will be staying with my Italian and Nepali relatives. There won't be much eating out at restaurants....these people LOVE to cook good food. No Tourist traps for me!! Not you Glenda, Venison is kinda stout ain't it?? I love it though...it's soo organic and lean. I wish I were in my teens doing this trip....my DD is already having discussions with her friends about Italian boys and how cute they are. Her step-cousin/neice not sure which one yet, (my husband's neice) who she will be hanging out with is 16, DD is 15. We are going to set it up where my daughter can go to school with her for a day or two, which should be very interesting. My daughter is soo lucky to be able to have this experience. | ||

| I always end up on potato duty for Thanksgiving. Although, I boycott the sweet potatoes with marshmallows and goo. I like my sweet potatoes au natural.... Cyndi- the Italy experience will so much fun for your daughter.. and the Italian boys ARE cute!! I went when I was 2, 9, 13, 15, 21, 22...... and it was fun each time for different reasons (don't really remember the trip when I was 2 Unfortunately, I became a chef in the time since then and haven't had the time off or the $$$ to make the trip.... one day, though... As for Thanksgiving, I have soooo much to be thankful for. Especially, this little squirmy baby who is currently kicking me in the obliques (she's WAY off to the side!! ) | |||

Expert Yogi Posts: 8442  | I can't trap anyone over about the age of two - they are stronger than me and get away  Well, I DID manage to trap Mr. Tourist, but that was long ago and the bait was....er....fresher One thing DD found out in Italy is that balsamic is only a big deal around Modena, but there is good olive oil everywhere. | ||

| ML: i was thinking today about how you're so close to your birthday! how cool is that? as for me, i'm thankful for groundlessness, and for october j (even though he's passed, of course), and for my new way of managing and developing my relationship with my ILs (it's working--it only took me 10 years to find it. i think i just needed to mature), and all kinds of other great stuff. i'm leading yoga with live music this friday night at 7, if anyone is in the area and wants to check it out. it will be in downtown phoenixville, pa. i'll give you more info if you want it! and here's what i'm serving this year (yes, i get to slave away again!--but i like it! ) : butternut squash soup butter lettuce with dried cherries and gorgonzola with a dried cherry vinegarette turkey with goat cheese sauce mashed parsnips (mashed with sour cream and garlic) green beans with wild mushrooms vanilla-orange cake with marscapone/elderflower-orange marmalade filling and vanilla sauce for beverages: water with orange slice and celery (very refreshing, btw) sparkling water with lime lingonberry or elderflower syrup with sparkling water iced roobios chai and for dessert beverages african mistress coffee (dark roast, french press) lady grey tea or rose-marzipan tea yup, i think it's going to be very nice! | |||

| You guys really enjoying food! I'm making mashed potatoes and pumpkim pie! Nothing special, just american classics. The pumpkim pie will have a crust, a crushed layer of pecans and ginger snaps and then the regular filling. The potatoes will have butter, milk and salt and pepper in them. And, my wife is doing the upside down cake, but I don't mess with her when she is in the kitchen..  | |||

| I really do love food, yes. I've never made an upside down cake, but i have a recipe for one called "winter jewel upside down cake" that has all sorts of bright, colorful fruit and white cake. anyway, looks interesting and i may try it for christmas (though we're going to my sister's, so it might not be possible). i'm psyched. i thought i had two large spring form pans (and i do), but i just ofund in my wedding box (while digging out napkins and candles) two boxes of small, individual sized spring form pans. i'd wanted to make individual sized cakes, but couldn't figure out how with cupcakes. a-ha! mini spring forms! woohoo! btw, that ham bit sounds great.  maybe i do that for christmas. . . | |||

Expert Yogi Posts: 8442 | Mmmmmmm! The ham and the pumpkin pie with pecans etc. sound awesome! And the mashed parsnips, and, and, and.... I may have to start celebrating American Thanksgiving, too  | ||

| i think canadians have it right celebrating earlier in the year. it's way too stressful to have it so close to christmas. bah! anyway, holiday went off nicely. the food worked out beautifully--everyone was happy. i was a bit stressed overall, because i'd had the inclination to start three days of novenas to the christ child of prague on tuesday. that means that i had to stop every hour and spend 10 mintues on concerted, on the knees prayer. Anyway, the inclination was for my friend's mother, Rosie, who i learned this morning has been hospitalized since monday night (when i got the inclination). it's hard to do that and cook and serve dinner, and have the ILs watching, not knowing where i was disappearing to (the yoga room) for 15 minutes. and, my MIL isn't very pro-catholic anyway, and, well. . .who wants to explain novenas to the christ child of prague to a woman who vehemently doesn't believe in novenas or other "catholic weirdness." but, it was a good holiday, and we feel good all around. | |||

Expert Yogi Posts: 5098 Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | Okay, that's it...I'm done with Thanksgiving food...especially after I ate Red Velvet cake for breakfast today, then for a mid-brunch...it was a turkey sandwich with mayo and WHITE bread, | ||
