Hi everyone,

Imagine my dismay when on Thanksgiving I noticed a large hole in the wrapper around my ham that I bought. I had to wait until today but by some miracle,
I found an exact (by weight and by cost) ham with a good wrapper at Walmart
to exchange the old one with. My friend bought me a box of stuffing so I
will have my little Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow night. Better late than never.

I had Thanksgiving delivered by my brother. His daughter, Robin, was
cooking the family feast but, since Robin's mom (my S-I-L) was just
out of hospital and I do not handle stairs well she laid in a supply
of styro "go boxes" and bundled all into them.

I got three 10" X 10" flip-top compartmented boxes with sliced turkey,
mashed w/gravy, dressing and green bean casserole in the first box. The
second box held a "sorta" cloe slaw, sweet potatoes w/marhmallows and
three bropwn 'n' serve rolls. The third boz had a slice of meach pie, a
slice of a pinkish-orange chiffon pie and a serving of bread pudding. A separate 5" X 9" Hefty snap top had an unidentifiable but very tasty
sweet concoction which I will have to inquire "what was it?" There was
also, in the bag, a sleeve of Ritz crackers. Those I saked about and
got told "They're for the crab dip". But, AFAIK there was not crab dip
in my bundle.

But the crackers will come in handy for my lunch substitute peanut butter
and crackers. Bv)=

All in all after I ate the wad the my house-mate's son delivered on the
evening of Thanksgiving I tackled Robin's overload on Friday. And finished
it up (with the poocjes' help with clean-up Saturday. WOW!

Dave, I'm sure glad the doggo's were there to help you clean that up.
They do the lords work. (This is how my FIL's dog seems to think)

They're pretty good mutts, except the blue-tick beagle bitch. She has
the most annoying bark/bay and will not shut up. Until we put the anti-
bark shocker on her neck.

Discovered something they won't "clean up" the leftovers last evening.

I had nuked up a Cafe Steamers version of General Tso's chicken - as a
shortcut because I didn't feel like cooking nor going out. It was tasty
and hit the spot. But when I put the dish on the deck for Izzy (the old
bark box) took one lick, she turned and went to the water dish. Jasper,
the 13 year old pit bull mix (and roadblock)) sniffed it, put his nose
in the air and went to flop down where he could best block foot traffic.
And Eva, the shy "rescue" mix didn't even approach. Bv)=

Title: Best General Tso's Chicken
Categories: Poultry, Fruits, Vegetables, Chilies, Herbs
Yield: 4 servings

1 1/2 lb Boned, skinned chicken
- thighs; in 2" pieces
1/3 c + 1 Tb cornstarch; divided
1 lg Egg; lightly beaten
1/4 c Soy sauce; divided
1/2 c Chicken stock
1 tb Rice vinegar
1 tb Shaoxing wine
2 tb Apricot jam
1 tb Tomato paste
2 tb Oil; plus more for frying
1 tb Grated ginger
1 ts Grated garlic
1/4 c Dried Tianjin chilies (or
- Cayenne)
Toasted sesame oil; for
- serving (opt)
Thin sliced scallions; for
- serving
Steamed jasmine rice; for
- serving

To a medium bowl, add the chicken, ? cup cornstarch,
egg, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Toss well to coat,
then set aside to marinate at room temperature for 15
minutes.

To a small bowl, add the chicken stock, remaining 1
tablespoon cornstarch, vinegar, wine, apricot jam,
tomato paste, remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1/2
cup cold water. Whisk to combine.

Line a large plate or baking sheet with paper towels and
set by the stove. In a wok or large, deep skillet fitted
with a deep-fry thermometer, add enough canola oil to
reach 3 inches up the sides of the wok. Preheat the oil
to 375°F over medium-high heat. Working in batches, use
your hands or a slotted spoon to lift the prepared
chicken from the marinade, shake off any excess, and add
to the oil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy
and cooked through, about 4 minutes per batch. Using
tongs or a heat-resistant slotted spoon, transfer the
chicken to the prepared plate. Repeat this process with
the remaining chicken.

Discard the frying oil. Return the wok to high heat and
add 2 tablespoons canola oil. When the oil is hot, swirl
to coat the bottom and sides, then add the ginger and
garlic. Stir-fry until the aromatics are fragrant but
not yet browned, about 20 seconds, then stir in the
chiles and cook until they begin to soften, plump, and
turn a deep tobacco-brown color, 15-20 seconds more.
Keeping your head away from the area above the stove,
add the chicken stock mixture (it will sizzle and steam
up violently). Bring to a boil, then adjust the heat to
maintain a strong simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally,
until the sauce is thickened and glossy, 7-10 minutes.
Return the chicken to the wok, stirring well to coat.
Continue cooking until the chicken is heated through,
about 2 minutes more. Remove the wok from the heat, then
transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Drizzle with
sesame oil (if using), top with scallions, and serve
with rice.

Hi Dave,

Laugh, our last two cats were not at all self-maintaining. They both
required a lot of attention. Mikey insisted on laying on top of Andrea
at all times, when he passed Ruby took that position.

Currently just have my FIL's dog living with us, she's okay. In a little
bit we're going to look after a friends Cat while they are in Vietnam for
the winter. So "Pickle" will be hanging out, but he's pretty chill.

a leatherr sofa/love seat and overstuffed easy chair I'd probably
have another can.

We do... really hope pickle doesn't scratch it up.

and left that behind. Once I put a piece of bacon on the floow for
her and she made "covering up" motions likke she had just done her business there.

LOL! Mikey didn't really like human food at all, with the exception of
bacon which he would go crazy for. Ruby had never seen a piece of food
she didn't like.

Go figger. But, she was a pretty good kitty overall.

I'm looking foward to having a cat around again even if just for the winter.
