*** A WORD FROM THE KITCHEN ***I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a wonderful
Thanksgiving! I'm thankful for so much and that includes
all of you who continue to read my newsletter! I hope you're
able to use lots of these recipe ideas I've got plenty more to share.
Today I'm sneaking in a strange cranberry conversation.
Did ya know those can be a might tricky to get just right
so that you're not left with a permanent pucker for the day,
but done right let me say you're the envy of the kitchen? If
you can't quite get that cranberry combination down I'm going
to do a complete 360 here and say just give up the challenge!
Strange advice? Not without good reason of course, just getting
you interested in a little something different this year with
this CRANBERRY DREAM SALAD instead ;o) won't steer you wrong.
I would really like to know just what your favorite part of
Thanksgiving was? Come take the poll here and let us know at:

Enjoy!

PLEASE COOK THAT TURKEY GOOD!When cooking a turkey, use a meat thermometer. Even if
you use a "pop-up" thermometer, it's a good idea to check
the temperature with a conventional meat thermometer. If
you don't have one, pick one up at the grocery store as
you're searching for the holiday items. Set the oven no
lower than 325 F and cook the turkey to 180 F in the inner
thigh. The juices should run clear. Here are approximate
cooking times for turkey, but use a meat thermometer to
verify doneness:
