Hi VW - I'm afraid I replied to your request for blog links a little late if that was what you were presenting today.
Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Nope. It's for next week's presentation, so it's perfect. I just sent you an e-mail. Thank you so much.
Oh my. I have made the meaty dressing, and the veggie dressing, and the devilled eggs.
How much horseradish are we talking about?
I never measure anything, but in a dozen eggs maybe a couple tbls or so of horsey sauce along with the mayo. Adds some kick.
The smells of all the stuff cooking here is killing me ded.
Cooking question: I am bringing my cannelini bean dip to Mom's tomorrow, and I bought a nice crusty loaf of bread to make a bread bowl to put it in. I want to cut up the bread that is left when I hollow it out to dip with, but I was at a party last weekend and the pieces were too soft for dipping. Can I put them under the broiler in my oven for a few minutes to crisp them up a bit. Mom stole my toaster oven to use for tomorrow, so that is not an option.
Sounds good to me, sj. A toaster oven is just a miniature oven, after all.

Any idea for how long I should put them in there?
Ok...I'm off to bed. The alarm is set for 2am. Ugh. This is gonna be a short night.
Mwah!
Deviled eggs are evil
Hence the name. But evil in the good way, if made right.
Also:
Cranberry sauce: 1 vote. 2 if it has the can ridges. I do prefer the kind with the cranberries in the sauce, but I understand and accept that I am in the minority.
Mashed potatoes: Fresh steamed potatoes, rolled out of their skins, blender-ed together with butter and a bit of Half & Half and served piping hot is scrumptious.
Let's see -
Homemade cranberry sauce - Excellent
Canned cranberry sauce - acceptable in the absence of homemade
Gravy - brown, made with drippings, put on turkey, stuffing, potatoes
Deviled Eggs with Horseradish - Excellent
In meme news, my fever broke around noon and then returned with a vengence around 3pm. It is currently 101.2. I may be staying home by myself for Thanksgiving while the family heads up to my cousin's house for the day.
man, this gravy is a-kicking my ass. will skim fat and roux it up tomorrow. So tired.
Have now watched through Mars v. Mars episode of VM. w00t!
