This is what I am planning to have for Christmas and I need to feed about 25 people. I also thought of serving a green salad and hot rolls. Any suggestions for side dishes that would work with it.<br /> Thanks!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23044#post-471655 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 13:42:32 +0000 Dee 471655@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>How about a centralized location for Thanksgiving chat/recipes/questions/articles, etc?</p> <p>Thanksgiving: An American meal<br /> <a href="http://www.dailypress.com/features/food/foodanddrink/sns-fdcook1-wk1,0,3454290.story" rel="nofollow">http://www.dailypress.com/features/food/foodanddrink/sns-fdcook1-wk1,0,3454290.story</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9608#post-241238 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 19:52:26 +0000 SoxsMom 241238@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>It may seem early for some, but I am in need of some help. My dad, the chef, is coming for Thanksgiving dinner! I am in a panic--okay panic is a bit strong, but I certainly feel the stress! I could use all those favorite recipes you have for traditional Thanksgiving fare!! The more recipes the better--than I can figure out what I can actually accomplish. </p> <p>THANK YOU!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/1824#post-45606 Mon, 19 Nov 2007 08:36:09 +0000 MerD 45606@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The Pasta Diet and Your Health </p> <p>ITALIAN PASTA DIET -- IT REALLY WORKS !! </p> <p>1.. You walka pasta da bakery. </p> <p>2.. You walka pasta da candy store. </p> <p>3.. You walka pasta da Ice Cream shop. </p> <p>4.. You walka pasta da table and fridge. </p> <p>You will lose weight! </p> <p>AND.... </p> <p>CONCERNED ABOUT TOO MANY CARBS IN YOUR DIET? </p> <p>For those of you who watch what you eat,<br /> here's the final word on nutrition and health.<br /> It's a relief to know the truth<br /> after all those conflicting<br /> nutritional studies. </p> <p>1. The Japanese eat very little fat<br /> and suffer fewer heart attacks than<br /> Americans. </p> <p>2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat<br /> and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. </p> <p>3. The Chinese drink very little red wine<br /> and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. </p> <p>4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine<br /> and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. </p> <p>5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats<br /> and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans. </p> <p>CONCLUSION </p> <p>Eat and drink what you like.<br /> Speaking English is apparently what kills you. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22977#post-470267 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 09:07:54 +0000 Dee 470267@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I've mentioned how delicious Rabitos are...figs infused with brandy and chocolate mousse and covered in dark-chocolate from Spain. They are on sale, $17.95 for 16 bon bons. They are worth the money (for a nice holiday treat once a year) and definitely worth the calories!</p> <p><a href="http://www.tienda.com/food/products/ct-02.html?DCMP=EMC-111709TGH&amp;type=figs#" rel="nofollow">http://www.tienda.com/food/products/ct-02.html?DCMP=EMC-111709TGH&amp;type=figs#</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/23029#post-471336 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 05:34:32 +0000 cricketsmama 471336@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Good Morning/Afternoon!!<br /> Yay!!!

Soups and sandwiches are on the menu as are burgers and hot dogs. Nothing too exciting but something warm to fill your tummy. Kittehs are stretching and relaxing on floofy pillows and in kitteh beds. Come grab a bite to eat and snuggle a kit! Hope your day was good. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22944#post-469755 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:47:54 +0000 mollycat71 469755@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Happy Monday and Back to Work!

So maybe we won't lose weight but I think a good goal is not to gain any this coming holiday season. </p> <p>I really need to get back on the bandwagon and I do so much better with support. I can't always check in these days but I will try (and I've heard rumblings at work they may allow lunchtime internet surfing again...yay!)</p> <p>You have all been such an inspiration and help to me in the past and I, for one, need a place to be accountable without being beat up, and this is the place...big smile.</p> <p>So.... I am committing to getting to my new gym 2-3 times a week (more if I can) and walking at lunch time again, whether my walking buddy joins me or not. I commit to not wasting good food in my fridge. That's about all I can handle at the moment.</p> <p>What about the rest of you? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22928#post-469568 Sun, 15 Nov 2009 03:16:41 +0000 Dee 469568@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p><a href="http://www.arcamax.com/chefjames/s-643032-421089" rel="nofollow">http://www.arcamax.com/chefjames/s-643032-421089</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22909#post-469368 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 04:58:25 +0000 mollycat71 469368@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Happy Caturday Family! Hope it finds you well. Today the kittehs are setting up a simple continental breakfast as business is usually slow on Caturday's. Just pasteries, bagels, donuts, fruit, and yogurt. All the normal drinks. I am anxiously awaiting my sister, "Hazel" (lol), to arrive with her bottle of bleach for her cleaning session. She was to be here between 530 and 600am. She has three minutes to get here or I am laying back down. I am pooped! Have a great Caturday! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22912#post-469417 Sat, 14 Nov 2009 10:47:03 +0000 Dee 469417@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p><a href="http://cupcakecentralblog.com/?p=402" rel="nofollow">http://cupcakecentralblog.com/?p=402</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22887#post-469133 Fri, 13 Nov 2009 05:00:38 +0000 mollycat71 469133@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Don't let a black cat cross your path! LOL Many of us have black cats and know that is not a bad thing! I had two cross my path this am. Hope all are well. This has been the longest week so the kits have made a HUGE buffet full of hot fresh goodies! Help yourself to something off the buffet, grab a drink and don't forget to "tip" you kitty waiter with a smooch or a scritch or a belly rub! Happy "almost" weekend all! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22861#post-468863 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 05:14:17 +0000 mollycat71 468863@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Let's all take a moment and send Lisa our prayers today as she goes in for nose surgery. We are with you Lisa. Update us when you can! Hugs! Today the kittehs have Panera catering for us. They do have the coffee bar set up and tables are still red white and blue from yesterday's party. Happy Thursday, hope its a good one. I am sooooo busy right now my head could pop! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22864#post-468881 Thu, 12 Nov 2009 06:22:54 +0000 SammyandOliversmama 468881@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>This sounds so yummy!</p> <p>The bacon keeps the chicken white meat moist while the orange marmalade makes a delightful contrast to the smoky flavor of the bacon. Fast and easy to put together, this chicken dish bakes in less than 30 minutes.<br /> Prep Time: 10 minutes<br /> Cook Time: 25 minutes</p> <p>Ingredients:<br /> 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts<br /> 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning<br /> Salt and freshly ground pepper<br /> 6 slices bacon<br /> 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted<br /> 1 Tbsp Worcestershire sauce<br /> 1/2 cup orange marmalade<br /> Preparation:<br /> Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a shallow baking pan with non-stick foil. (Omit foil and reduce temperature by 25 degrees if using a glass baking dish.) </p> <p>Sprinkle each chicken breast evenly with poultry seasoning, then season generously with salt and pepper. Wrap each chicken breast with one slice of bacon and place in baking pan with bacon ends tucked under. </p> <p>Melt together butter, Worcestershire sauce, and orange marmalade in the microwave for about 45 seconds on high. Stir until combined. Pour evenly over bacon-wrapped chicken breasts. </p> <p>Bake until bacon is crisp and chicken tests done in the center (180 F.), about 25 to 30 minutes. (If the chicken breasts are thick, bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes.) </p> <p>Yield: 6 servings </p> <p>From About.com/cooking Peggy Trowbridge </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22837#post-468533 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:22:44 +0000 mollycat71 468533@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Happy Veteran's Day to one and all! Let's not forget who this day is about, our brave men and women of the military. God Bless them all! Kitties are all dressed in their finest red, white and blue. The cafe is set up and decorated in red, white and blue. There are yummies on the buffet today from Cracker Barrel as well as homemade cupcakes decorated in red, white and blue icing and sprinkles (made by those crazy Meezers!). Come join us and share your military stories or words of thanks. Also, if you know someone in the military or who is a vet, Applebee's is offering a free meal to them today!</p> <p>Me, I am the daughter of an Army medical researcher. Worked in the top secret labs and went to his grave NEVER EVER telling us what he did. He was in six years and proud of it. I know my family goes all the way back to the civil war in the army and I am proud of it! I want to thank all those who have served, who are serving and who will one day serve this country. You are true heros in my book! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22815#post-468299 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 13:41:42 +0000 Dee 468299@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p><a href="http://www.sunset.com/food-wine/holidays-occasions/thanksgiving-menus-recipes-00400000055722/page15.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.sunset.com/food-wine/holidays-occasions/thanksgiving-menus-recipes-00400000055722/page15.html</a> </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22795#post-468085 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:56:01 +0000 mollycat71 468085@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Happy Tuesday one and all! Its another day, I am closer to surgery, and things are slowly looking up! I have enough vacation time to have surgery and not worry about no $$$ coming in. Spoke with the Physician Assistant last night and we talked a long time. It was kinda weird cause we talked like two friends not doctor patient. He was so sorry about this second surgery and because this is such a "rare" situation he is the "lead" on this and will be following me and checking in on me (of course under the supervision of the NS). He said he will be calling me at home checking in on me and documenting symptoms, recovery and ultimately outcome. Because my dad died of sedation to keep him still after surgery they are NOT going to sedate me but keep me comfy. I will be in ICU my whole hospital stay. </p> <p>In that vein, let's celebrate. I have good news, Bobby is back and our family continues to grow and get closer/stronger here on TDK. For all of that I am thankful! Today the kittehs are making pancakes, waffles, crepes, omelets, hashbrowns, bacon, sausage, yogurt, fruit and drinks. They had a special delivery of lemon donuts for KK! Grab breakfast to go or join us for a little visit. Hope your Tuesday is well! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/22801#post-468127 Tue, 10 Nov 2009 08:06:36 +0000 Dee 468127@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Did anyone just see these products on The Today Show?
