wah lau....u really canuck liao lah!!!!Originally posted by ben1406:Oooo ! Turkey Cranberry Sandwich is fine with me for a week ! -
last thanks giving and christmas I made two smaller turkeys instead of one big one ....
the smaller ones are more tender (and cheaper !) compared to those gigantic mutant birds ....
I "tropicalized" the stuffing by adding apples and pineapples to the traditional stuffing ... and sweetened the basting sauce with some lee kim kee char siew sauce ....
it was pretty good ...

i was told that candian geese mate for life. so if you want to eat have 2 at the same time.Originally posted by littlestream:yah, we have our thanksgiving earlier. for you, i believe is november.
har? goose? canadian geese? they are running wild on our parks and roads (sometimes) but i doubt can eat. 
i joking lah.
anyways, it is a cute sight to see these wild geese parading in a straight line. -

Turducken ? it's not a breed.. It's a De-boned Chicken stuffed into a de-boned duck and into a de-doned turkey.. It's soooooo good when it's done right... Very nice and fatty. -
are you sure 20 hours?Originally posted by Fatum:it's about 20 hours to drive to here from toronto neways ... i checked safeway tours, their 7day tour to vancouver hor? after 2 nights, we are still in ontario!!!!

When it comes to cooking a big spread, I'm the Queen of cheating.Originally posted by littlestream:aaahhhh............brilliant!!! brilliant idea, jetta!!!
i saw chinese roast chicken at a food court. i tink i go for that one.
green bean casserole sounds good too!
hey, actually, all your suggestions made me wanna drool~~~ liao but then, i don't know how to cook all that lah. i no good with ang moh jiak one leh.
okay, goody goody goody.....i am going to cheat a bit. 
thanks deep deep, jetta *hugz*
Green bean casserole is very easy. Just follow the recipe on the Campbell's Cream of Mushroom can. I promise you it's super duper easy. All my recipes for big holidays and such have to be easy. BTW, have you picked up Rachael Ray's new monthly magazine? My co-worker let me take her home to read and oh boy! What a treasure trove of easy recipes! You must read one if you haven't.
Back to your side dishes: How about buying some simple sushi rolls as well? You can also offer corn on the cob (cut into half for easier eating), chinese chicken salad (regular salad with cubes of fried chicken thrown in.) If you must have some turkey on the table, you can modify this salad and add cubes of turkey breast meat. I'll post more ideas as and when they hit me. -
Donna Hay's magazines are also very good !Originally posted by jetta:When it comes to cooking a big spread, I'm the Queen of cheating.
