after it has cooked for about 1-2 hours and baste as well. I usually use more soda and inject it into the turkey with a turkey injecter as well as basting it. Then, I use the drippings with the soda and make it into a gravy. It's sweet and gives the BEST flavor I have ever tasted. My mother-in-law told me years ago to do that and I have been doing it ever since.

because of healthy diets we are either going to grow feathers and molt due to the poultry, OR fish scales from all the fish...think feathers are prettier and softer, myself!
Bake a ham and pour pineapple during sm
the last 20 minutes of baking, or donate it to a food bank.
I would say, "Si, Seniorita, que es Englesias, pour fa vour?"

I saw this on Martha Stewart....you pour salt into a paper bag
put the flower head first into the bag upside down, twist the top sorta so salt doesnt fall out and shake it around like shake-n-bake. it breaks up the dust and knocks it off..never have tried it myself though..but sounds like it might work..martha stewart style.
I recently read not to pour the water from the carafe
into the reservoir or to wash the pot with soap or in the dishwasher because of the oils that build up from the coffee. Here is a link that explains it and ways to clean the coffee maker and carafe.
those cans are so bad for the environment
I never understood the waste of buying canned air personally. I do what the poster below does. It is indeed time consuming but I have the satisfaction of knowing my computer is not just free of debris but from deep down germs as well.
NO not the chemicals THE CANS

I buy little individual cans of OJ all the

Should formula cans have a warning that it's better to breastfeed
Read this article in a Parenting magazine. It's NOT a debate or question to which is best.
Should formula cans have a warning that it's better to breastfeed
While I am a big believer in Breastfeeding, I would never make anyone feel guilty for formula feeding. It's any mother's choice as to what is best for them and the baby. I personally could never have worked and breastfed at the same time!

gel. soda or pop?

drinking soda
I think that drinking soda aggravates that. Cranberry juice and herbals teas calm this sort of thing down for me.
Diet soda isn't the problem
I saw a report on that on TV several weeks ago. Evidently, the thinking is that if you're drinking diet soda you'll feel free to eat more high-caloric foods ?!?! The only thing I've heard that's concrete about diet soda is that it can cause loose bowel movements and the carbonation saps phosphorus, which could be detrimental to bones.
This is probably the lamest of all the scare tactics that the Food Police have come out with yet! I believe there are factions out there who won't be satisfied until everybody is eating nothing but veggies and drinking nothing but water.
The next lamest one I've heard is that air conditioning causes people to be overweight. Why? Because when you're hot you burn more calories!
I stopped listening to "experts" a long time ago!
Try a little bit of baking soda on a washcloth
Just remember that the rubbing may cause a little redness, but i think it will help with the kool-aid. Been there, done that...
Sprinkle with baking soda and then vacuum
Works wonders.
Might have him shave pits completely & just use baking soda as

Have him keep his snacks out of sight, even if it means warm soda. Makes a big difference! Out in

turkey
This works in a roaster or oven
Melt about a stick of butter add to taste salt, pepper. Chop celery into one to two inch pieces.
Chop onions into large pieces.
After rinsing the turkey and draining the water out you pour the butter mixture into the bird turning it to coat the whole inside. Then stuff the cavity of the bird with the celery and onions (personally I add some garlic as well).
You then place the bird in your pan and rub the breast skin with softened butter the sprinkling with your own choice of spices.
If you have questions feel free to email. BTW you never ever get a dry bird when you cook it this way and have lots of drippings for dressing/gravy. Hope you have a great Holiday!
Popup on ham?? Seen on turkey.
Have a contest going on here. Someone says she has seen a popup which shows a ham is done and I said have not, seen on turkeys. Anyone know is this true or ?
Turkey should never be "bacon."
That is so wrong...its like having a chicken hot dog! 
You can use them in turkey chili for one
thing. DH is the cook, but he does that. After adding chili powder it will still taste like chili, which he puts basil in anyway.
Ground turkey (brown first)
tomato sauce
canned tomatoes
onion
canned red beans
canned black beans
frozen lima beans
Picsweet frozen corn added near end of cooking time.
Add browned ground turkey and all ingredients in a crock pot and cook together, except hold the corn out until near the end for sweetest, freshest zing in your chili. The frozen limas and corn are colorful and fresh-tasting additions, we find.
That little thingy that is at the end of the Turkey?
looks like a fan do yall cook that or cut it off?I saw Martha Stewart cook her's and she left it on
HELP! Turkey Day dilema
We are going to MILs for Turkey Day. She made a big thing out of doing dinner and everything for her family this year. My husband just went to her house and comes home to tell me we are going to starve tomorrow. lol There are 9 people in the immediate family and she has invited at least 4 other people that we know of. She is making a small turkey breast, 4 potatoes for mashed potatoes, gravy, dinner rolls and that's it! Oh, and an apple and cherry pie. Nothing else. Any ideas on how I can creatively make food to take without upsetting her. I am already bringing a pecan pie and pumpkin pie because I was "in the mood." Any suggestions, ideas? We are expected to spend the entire day and evening down there. Already made plans to play cards, games, etc. and make a day out of it when I get off work.

Does anyone have a good turkey recipe?? SM
Due to last week's turn of events I'm having turkey day at my house with my husband and kids. I've never cooked a turkey before. I have a very large slow cooker/roaster I've never used before and would like to cook it in there. What kid of spices do you put on it. I've got the stuffing taken care of, but am not sure what to do with the outside of the turkey. I'd like it to have some special flavoring if possible.
TIA for the ideas.
You're welcome! Turkey breasts are often
in the frozen section with the whole turkeys.
Second day of quitting cold turkey...
Today is my second day of quitting smoking cold turkey. I have some patches, but that is it. I am determined I will quit this time though, without a doubt.
This morning has been really hard not having a smoke with my coffee. My nerves are just on edge.
Any words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated!!!
Quit cold turkey because
admitted to the hospital with asthma exacerbation and put on theophylline. That is probably the worst thing ever, sped me up, no sleeping, sweating and I swore if I could get out of the hospital never again. That was 1998 and not 1 cigarette after then. I hated the theophylline more than I loved the cigarettes. What I thought would be outpatient treatment in the emergency room that day changed into a 2 week stay. I was put on prednisone and gained 26 lbs in 2 weeks, horrible. If a doctor now says prednisone, I said what is my second choice? I am remarried and thank goodness stopped the smoking, this hubby is so much against it. I never, though, call anyone else down on their habit if they smoke because I have been there myself.
Thanks! See, I didn't know you had to rinse the turkey like that! Hopefully, mom sm
will respond and tell me everything I need to know?
Speaking of 5:00. Well, I would be up at that time if I was returning home from dancing or the bar. Wait, in fact, I think I did come home on morning and find her cooking that early! Of course I went to sleep for the rest of the day. Yes, sad indeed.

Why does everyone get up so early to cook a turkey? - sm
the only think I can figure is you must eat it at noon. We would get up around 8, make the stuffing, prepare the bird, stuff it and put it in the oven between 10-11. This would be an 18-21 pound turkey, cook it 20 mins per pound, so we would pull it out about 5, then make the homemade gravy (took a good 30 mins to do that), prepare the mashed potatoes, and eat about 6. In between we have a relaxing day of playing board games, watching football or James Bond movies. All I ever see is, mom got in the middle of the night and put the turkey in the oven before we were even awake......either that was one heck of a big bird or they ate turkey for breakfast or lunch. (or else it came out dry as a rock).
We play also but call it Turkey Leg. It really is fun. nm
!
She said TURKEY BACON which is much lower in sat fat, etc. sm
I did Weight Watchers for years and I'd eat something like this, if you were judiciously using the bacon/cheese.
1. Stuffing cooked in turkey!
2. Sweet potato casserole.
3. Fruit salad.
we usually also have homemade rolls, another vegetable and cranberry sauce, sometimes mashed potatoes with the gravy too...
i love the homemade chunky cranberry sauce, but no one else does...
It is turkey and bacon and tomatoes
between slices of bread with a cheese sauce poured over the top. Different places here use different cheese sauces and they are delicious.
Leave some open boxes of baking soda inside and maybe search for carbon filters to leave in there,

I won a Thanksgiving turkey giveaway and got to be on the news. sm
they filmed me picking it up, etc. won it on website entries where we had to find the turkey everyday for like 2 weeks and then they drew names.
History Channel and a turkey sandwich!
Every now and again I get WICKED insomnia myself...definitely stress related. It totally sucks too, I know what you're goin' through. Throws everything outta whack.
Tylenol PM works really well for me...just one tablet and I'm out for a minimum of 9 hours. Wine will make me sleepy but really just puts me out for a 2-3 hour nap. Otherwise, just my daily chores and typin' work is enough to make me want to be in bed by 7 and not get up until the alarm goes off at 5.
"They" say to set a schedule and try to stick to it. No naps during the day, and the bedroom is only for sleeping and, er, well no tv and no food anyway ;-) I also use a white-noise machine (actually just a fan that I affectionatly call "noisy fan") and have one of those Plug-Ins in a relaxing scent (lilac).
Being anal retentive, I find I can fall asleep easiest knowing that all the house stuff is done (dishes, laundry, coffee maker prepped, etc) and when I get up everything is clean and ready for the next day.
Good luck with it all...have the hot flashes hit yet?
Bacon, lettuce, tomatoe, turkey...
Basically a big old sandwich. mmmm
Quit cold Turkey 2 months ago. Still want one. Ugh
The first turkey I made and I invited my poor dad over . . sm
