What's for Hallowe'en dinner?

Re: What's for Hallowe'en dinner?

I used to love their show! They made some pretty awful concoctions (their version of bubble and squeak almost made me barf; and I don't think there was any part of an animal they didn't use!), but they surely were fun. No one ever accused them of being overly politically correct, either!

LMAO!!!!


Tim and I used to watch it...We saw them prepare what we like to call "a fat basket" where they weaved bacon into a basket and filled it with some crazy concotions like: more bacon, sausage, butter, kidney...you get the idea...Tim and I could actually feel our hearts slowing down just watching them make it! It seemed gross as all get out...but after they were done cooking it...it looked really neat, I must say...

Well, it was one of those pre-recorded messages.

I think.

We get calls from Arnold Schwarzenegger all the time. (the recordings )

Dangit, Rachel, you just had to mention that gumbo, didn't you! Is it thickened with okra or file?

Neither. It was chicken and sausage made by a friend. I eat mine with cauliflower "rice" but this one was really strong and I was afraid to eat it and have reflux. That roux tends to sit on my stomach and I have to eat it early in the day so it doesn't "haunt" me all night LOL I do have some okra in the freezer just waiting to be plopped in some gumbo. Just waiting on the weather to turn cool.

Daughter ate the pork loin... argh. I discovered that AFTER I made the faux taters. So I chopped up some turkey breast, mixed it in and voila.. an almost kentucky fried chicken bowl. I did say almost

As a Brit who used to love Yorkshire pud I have saved that recipe, Babs - but I wonder, can anyone tell me what 'seltzer' is?

It's just carbonated water, or club soda, Elizellen. I haven't heard it called seltzer in years.

Back in the day, I used to make the most wonderful deep fried onion rings with a batter made from flour, rice flour, chopped parsley, and club soda. The taste was amazing!

I always thought that good Yorkshire puds were made with the drippings from the roast beef. Is that so, or am I confused?

Thanks Chris! I wasnt sure if it was a flavoured fizzy drink or not.

Those onion rings sound good - I wonder if ground almonds would work instead?

Yes - our family recipe always used beef drippings from the roast - and the Yorkshire was always made in a large baking dish and served and eaten as a dish on its own with gravy before the meat and veggies course. I think it was supposed to start to fill you up so you didnt need to eat so much expensive meat!

I feel like a bad Catholic, reading all these All Saints Day posts. I've not once gone to mass on Nov. 1st--none of my family has. But mass was always at 8 or 9am, and all of us were at work or school.

Chris--that's what is so funny about all of these "Christian" holidays--how they're aligned with the original "pagan" holidays. Oh and soltices and equinoxes.

I saw this flier on Halloween advertising a carnival at a church. It said "Christian Halloween carnival--help us reclaim this CHRISTIAN holiday!" and I just had to laugh. Apparently they hadn't heard of the Celts...or maybe they thought that was just a basketball team in Boston.

I'll bet those same people think that Jesus Christ was born on the 25th of December!
