[RecipesAndMore] Turkey Giblet Gravy
The Recipe Ya ever wonder how to make that spectacular gravy people have craved for hundreds of years at Thanksgiving? Well, here's a super duper Turkey Giblet Recipe that everyone will sing songs about for generations. Let's do it! Turkey Giblet Gravy Roasting pan with juices from a (14- to 16-pound) roast turkey Unsalted butter (less than 1/2 stick), melted, if turkey drippings yield less than 1/4 cup 4 cups hot turkey giblet stock 1/4 cup all-purpose flour Reserved cooked giblets (optional), finely chopped Pour pan juices into a 1-quart glass measure (do not clean roasting pan), then skim off fat and reserve fat and juices separately. (If using a fat separator, pour pan juices into separator and let stand until fat rises to top, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully pour pan juices from separator into 1-quart glass measure and reserve fat left in separator.) If there is less than 1/4 cup reserved fat, add melted butter. Straddle roasting pan across 2 burners. Add 1 cup giblet stock to pan and deglaze pan by boiling over high heat, scraping up brown bits, about 1 minute. Add to glass measure with remaining 3 cups giblet stock. Whisk together reserved fat and flour in a 2-quart heavy saucepan and cook roux over moderately low heat, whisking, 3 minutes. Add hot stock to roux in a fast stream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps, then whisk in any turkey juices accumulated on platter and finely chopped giblets, if using. Simmer sauce, whisking occasionally, 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Buon appetito!

[RecipesAndMore] CAN YOU RELATE?
CAN YOU RELATE? I drive into work listening to gospel music or a pre-recorded sermon on the radio. I get out of the car and walk to the building entrance. As I open the building door I leave just enough room for me to get in and I leave Jesus standing outside as the door closes behind me. He's standing with His palms on the door glass and watches me as I get on the elevator. His eyes are sad and He turns and goes to sit on the stone bench. There He'll sit patiently and wait for me for the next 9 hours. First two hours of work - I fuss and complain about things not going right. Jesus, sitting with his chin in His hand looks upward toward the building wishing He could help me. By lunch time - I'm flustered, regretting I work in this place and sputtering bitterness all over folks. Jesus comes around to the side of the building where my cubicle is located. He looks up from the ground trying to get my attention but I can't hear him; my focus is on my problems. Jesus goes back to the front of the building, sits down and continues to wait for me. He thinks to Himself as He looks up to the third floor, She went in there defenseless. If only she had taken me in there with her. When will she learn? End of the day - I'm pooped, run down, no energy, irritable frustrated. I leave the building Jesus gets up happily to greet me but I'm in no mood for Him now. I've just been to hell and back and the last thing I want to do is be bothered with anyone. God just actually showed me this is how I'VE been acting. He showed me each act and worst of all, He let Me feel a small portion of how grieved he was because of my actions and attitude. I left Jesus standing outside, almost let the door smack him in His face. From time to time our jobs overwhelm us and we completely forget to take Jesus with us. We may not go around cursing anyone out or punching anyone in the face (hopefully not) but what are our actions saying about us and about who or whose we are? We are the salt of the Earth and the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. Matt. 5:13-15. We should be bringing peace to our jobs and not be the cause of confusion. We should be the ones to bring our gifts talents to the table to help in WHATEVER area God has chosen for us to work in. A single candle can illuminate an entire room. A true friend lights up an entire lifetime.

[RecipesAndMore] Old-Fashioned Stuffing
Old-Fashioned Stuffing White bread, turkey giblets, oysters and mushrooms make this a truly classic recipe. Ingredients 3-4 loaves of white bread (or 5 if you like leftovers) Water Chicken broth Turkey giblets 2 bunches celery 1 or 2 onions 2 Tbs. butter 1/2 tsp. sage Oysters (optional) Mushrooms (option) Directions The night before, break the bread into small pieces (about 1 inch squares) into 2 huge bowls or pots. Let the bread sit overnight to dry out. The next day, after you remove the turkey*s giblets, boil the giblets in water in 2/3 qt. sauce pan until cooked (about 20/30 minutes). Remove giblets for later use or discard. Set giblet cooking water aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Chop onion and celery and place into food processor until minced. Melt 2-3 Tbs. of butter in large saucepan. Sauté onion and celery until heated through. Do not brown! (Sauté mushrooms also at this time if using them). Depending on how much stuffing you want and how much celery and onion you*ve chopped, you may have to sauté the onion and celery in two parts. Once cooked, pour the onion/celery mixture directly over the dried out bread. Pour 1/2 tsp. sage over bread/onion/celery mixture. Using the reserved giblet cooking water, pour slowly over bread. The bread will shrink as you do this. Be careful not to pour too much water in. Mix thoroughly and smell/taste for perfect stuffing. If you need more liquid, open a can of chicken broth and pour over bread. If you need more spice, add more sage. If you are using oysters, add them now. Once stuffing is of a consistency that it will stick together and does not look too dry, do not add more liquid. Either stuff in turkey to be baked in oven, or put in 9x13 pan. If using oysters, it is recommended that you bake the stuffing in a pan so as to ensure the oysters will be cooked through. Bake in 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour. You want the stuffing to have a nice brown crust on top.

[RecipesAndMore] Update On Me
Hi everyone. I had my appointment yesterday at the orthopedic clinic to see the surgeon who operated on my wrist. I had x-rays done and I thought I was doing quite well actually, doing dishes, putting laundry away, squeezing toothpaste and a whole bunch of other daily chores even chopping and cutting up stuff in the kitchen. And, I was hoping not to have to go back again! But, I was wrong! Lol. I found out that my right wrist is not quite as strong as my left one! The doctor put a piece of paper between my thumb and index finger, and yep? He was able to take it away quite easily, even though I thought I was hanging on to it for dear life! Lolololol. Then, I had to squeeze his finger first with one hand and then the other. The same thing happened. I guess I still have to work up the strength in my right wrist in order for me to be back to normal. So, he says he wants to see me in another month. But, that will depend on when they book me. It could be 6 weeks from now. And I was there for 3 hours! My appointment was for 2:15 and I didn't get out of there till after 5. All that waiting was just a pain. And my friends who took me, I hated like hell to put them out, but, they left for a doctor's appointment, for 4:30, but they came back to get me to take me home of course. Oh and in the meantime, there was a fire drill or the alarm went off, and my poor friends had to walk down 7 flights of stairs because the elevators didn't work at the time of the alarm going off. And then, of course, there were I don't know how many firetrucks approaching the hospital. Needless to say, it was a long afternoon. On the way home, we stopped so I could pick up some KFC for supper. My wrist still hurts to type for a long period of time. I still have to do wrist exercises to get the strength back in my wrist. Guess I'll just keep on keepin' on. Take care everyone. Hugs to you all.

[RecipesAndMore] Re: Update On Me
Hi, Helen, I don't want to bore you, as I commented on the other mutual list, but did not comment on one thing, the length of time spent waiting for our appointments at the doctors' offices, in comparison to the short amount of time actually spent with the doctor. wow, annoying. it is that way, too when mom has her appointments. I am praying that by the next time you return for your appointment, you will have gained strength; these things do take time. wonder if using a soft ball and rolling it in your palm, and moving it with your fingers would help; also, squeezing it; just a few suggestions; continuing praying for progress for you.
