I stuff my turkey with butter, mandarin oranges and garlic and douse it in that cranberry sierra mist...the skin gets a nice tang.
this year I am making cranberry upside down cake for the family I have never tried the recipe but thought it looked delicious
fruit topping 3 tbsp unsalted butter (who are we kidding...i use the salted kind) 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/4 cup sliced almonds 3 cups cranberries (frozen or fresh)
cake: 1 1/4 cups flour 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp fine cut sea salt (delish) 14 tbsp unsalted butter (14 TABLESPOONS!!!! siiiiiiiiiiiigh) 1/3 cup paked almond paste 3/4 cup sugar 3 eggs 1 tbsp vanilla 1/2 cup buttermilk
preheat oven to 350. Butter a 9inch round cake pan. To make the fruit topping: melt the butter in a small saucepan, then remove from the heat and stir in the brown sugar. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it in an even layer. Sprinkle the almonds over the sugar mixture then evenly distribute the cranberries.
to make the cake: sift the flour, baking powder and sea salt together in a bowl. Cream the butter, almond paste and sugar together on medium high speed for 3-5 mins until light and fluffy. add eggs to butter mixture, one at a time, scraping down the sides after each one. Add vanilla. Stir in the flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the flour. Gently spread the batter over the cranberries.
bake for 60-65 mins. Let cool for 20 mins. To flip the cake over, run a knife around the edge then place on a flat plate or serving platter and quickly invert in one fell swoop.
voila
looks amazing...it's from some magazine...can't remember which because I ripped it out!!!
My post to Fig...was an attempt to show drama. Fig and I have a few important things in common, but taken as a whole I think one of us would be dead if we lived in the same house, ala Big Brother. : ) It's like Cutty and House. I'm Cutty and she is House.

There can be no testimony without a test. I am praying to go through this test and come out the other end with a new and better marriage then before.
The fact that the Trapt dude knows the song.... well
Ok back to food, I add to stuffing.
Sweet plantains. after boiling then I smash them together and add olive oil a pinch of salt and smashed garlic... mix all that together...
earlier I would make a small pork shoulder that I would marinate in lemon juice, orange juice salt and smashed garlic. roast that, then after roasted slice and sear in white wine and olive oil.
cut into chunks and mix that in with the plaintains and I also add pieces of bacon.
I Then add all that to regular stuffing..
It's a day to give thanks and nothing gives thanks better than bacon...
