Happy Thanksgiving!

[Jay Honeck]

To all the American pilots and aviation enthusiasts who have made this
group so fun and educational for me over the years, please accept my
heartfelt thanks and best wishes on this Thanksgiving holiday!

We have so much to be thankful for, here in the United States (and so
much to be concerned with, of course) -- but suffice it to say that (as
long as we keep the blue up and the brown down) we are blessed to live
where we live. And we are even more blessed to be able to partake in
this joyous thing we call "aviation". What an amazing time to be
alive!

And, to all of our friends from outside the USA, well, I can only hope
that y'all have a a holiday sorta like "Thanksgiving" in *your* country
-- cuz it's by FAR the best holiday of the year!

:-)

Happy Thanksgiving!

I spent the afternoon yesterday making apple pies, my mother's and her
mother's crust recipe.

1 cup flour
1 cube butter
1 teaspoon salt

For the crust, there is no substitute for real butter. It was pouring down
rain and thunderstorms. But today I see a patch of blue. I think I'll fly
out and circle her grave.

Best wishes to all of you, including the great pilots who just like to vent
their every day frustrations on RAP's willing victims.

And...............................MERRY CHRISTMAS..............just around
the corner.

Just a workday for us. But also Election Day too - polls open from 8am
to 8pm. Not that you'll hear about the national elections for an island
of less than 80,000 people - even if it is the longest continuously
running democratic parliament in the world, and the first in the world
to grant women suffrage.

This year we're (SLOW) cooking a Thanksgiving pot roast - our favorite dish
the rest of the year.

Wonderful piece of meat
Jim Burns Potatoes
Fresh radishes
Fresh (organic) baby peeled carrots
Apple slices - to be added latter (the last hour)
Two CD size (1/2 inch thick) onion slices under the meat
Two more giant onion slices on top of the meat
Water - no onion soup mix (too much salt)
Cover with tin foil for 3.5 hours
4.5 hours total @ 275F

We'll eat at 2300Z

Happy Thanksgiving r.a.p.

Per person, I hope you mean. . . Sounds great otherwise

I would do Champagne before the meal, wine with the meal and save the beers
just on the off chance there's a poker game later on . . .

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Caribou venison! Yummmm!

[N2310D]

Because I'm fond of turkey, I do about four of them a year. My favorite
preparation is 'Dinde a la Rotesserie.' [Je ne parle pas bien Francaise --
or spell it either] That is turkey cooked on the rotisserie over charcoal
with liberal applications of wet hickory chips. Maybe four hours roasting
time if there is a breeze. Three and a half in still air, that happens once
every seven or eight years around here. The result is so tender that the
spit has to be handled gently else you shake the meat off. Talk about moist!
You know those three cups of drippings you get when you bake a turkey in a
pan? I'm lucky if I can catch a half cup under these birds -- the rest stays
in the meat.
I love living in the Mojave Desert.
Top it off with baked yams (brown sugar and marshmallow glaze), mashed
potatoes with giblet gravy, broccoli (sometimes green beans, in season).
servee with a couple bottles of home made golden zinfandel wine, and top it
all off with pumkin and blueberry pies served with fresh brewed coffee.

Hey, Ma! Is it time for fourths yet?

This is one meal we simply don't mess with -- it's traditional all the
way:

That means a slow-roasted whole turkey, Grandma's apple & raisin
stuffing, Jim Burns' mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, creamed
corn, hot and cold cranberries, fresh-baked rolls, candied yams with
marshmallows on top, with pumpkin and German fruit pies (fresh baked,
or course) for dessert.

Ala mode, of course. With whipped cream on top.

Mary won't even consider changing that wonderful, tried & true menu,
and I (*burp*) am not about to argue. Two glasses of wine with the
meal, and a few beers afterwards, and I'm ready for slzzzzzzzzz....

Pretty much the same recipe here, except that I do the turkey in the smoker
with wet hickory chips over the charcoal, stuffed with sausage dressing and
covered with bacon strips. Crumble the bacon strips into the fresh green
beans with slivered almonds about an hour before the turkey is ready...about
8 hours in the smoker.

For three days before the event, the turkey is cold-soaked (in the unheated
garage) in a 5% brine solution into which pickling spice is pureed, about
three or four tablespoons of pickling spice blended into microscopic pieces
in a blender.

Dessert is a pumpkin-cream cheese-lotsaspices base over which is poured a
sour cream - brown sugar - vanilla - brandy topping about a quarter of an
inch thick and refrigerated for about 24 hours. About 20 proof the way I
measure it.

Christmas follows pretty much the same pattern except that I use cherry pie
mix instead of the pumpkin in the pie and go easy on the spices and heavy on
the brandy.

You don't have to live in the Mojave Desert to cook your Thanksgiving meal on
the BBQ...

My brother-in-law in New York cooked a ham on the BBQ yesterday. Of course it
was about 45* and pouring rain. But he's pretty dedicated. And my family
reaped the benefits, so no one tried very hard to stop him.

Last year, he did the same for Christmas. It didn't snow on Christmas day,
but he did have to dig out an area for the BBQ from snow from the week
before...

Ahh, the joys of living in NC! Yesterday, it was about 65 degrees, and is
about that on many Thanksgivings. Christmas will often have temps around the
50's, with seldom any snow.

Just in case there is snow, or rain when I want to cook outside, I have a 18' by
28' covered back porch, with two sides against the house to block the wind.
Makes grilling out a non issue, in most any weather.

An electric slow cooker is also a great way to cook a turkey. It has a place to
put your wet hickory chips, and a pan above the burner and chips to keep water
in, to make the heat moist. No dried out turkey for me!

Soaking the bird in brine before cooking works great, too. Just warn your
guests to taste it before they salt it. <g>

To a mathematician, a misnomer for a solid of rotation by a rectangle
rotated through its longitudinal axis with a surface drawn every 90° of
revolution.

To a metricist, 4 ounces or 114 grams (usually rounded to 100 grams).

To a cook, butter (US) comes in one pound packages and divided and wrapped
into four "sticks" or cubes to the pound.

Huh? Solids of rotation are cylinders. Draw surfaces anywhere you
want, you won't get a cube. Unless by "misnomer" you mean "not at all
connected with reality" :)

We call them sticks. Never called them cubes.

But, to a traveller, a cube is a rectangular cloth pouch for packing
clothing inside a suitcase - a genius application of "containerized
baggage".

No sir, solids of REVOLUTION are cylinders. Solids of ROTATION can be given
as many sides as there are "stops" to draw a plane surface on the solid at
that angle of rotation. A stop every 90° gives you what the topologist
might call a longitudinally elongated cube. A regular cube by definition
has six equal sides.

Thanks Jim.

My wife buys butter either in 4 sticks, or a 1 lb brick (same shape as the 4
sticks). I was trying to figure out if a 'cube' was a cube from a stick
(maybe 1" x 1" x 1") or a cube from the brick (1/2 LB?)

Jim, when in the hell are you going to get a real ISP (or newsreader, if that
would help) that is not a known spambot, so everyone could read your posts
again.

You should make that a charge to "Kitplanes" since that is the way readers are
supposed to ask questions and get answers about your columns.

Seriously, there is nothing the responsible ISP's (like mine) will do, about
unblocking a known mass spam sending ISP, like yours.

The ball is in your court.

By the way, I never did see a regular on here, or RAH, volunteer to re-post
Jim's E-mails, so everyone can see them.

Any volunteers? Please?

Oooh, I remember those years.

I feel your pain! <g>

When I was growing up, our house was the usual location for the relatives to
congregate for the "big" holiday family celebrations. My parents had a very
smart solution to the "little brat" disease.

We had a partially finished basement, with a ping table, homemade foosball
table, dart board, TV, and some other kid type things to do. It was
semi-indestructible.

Kids under 16 were banished to the basement, except to come upstairs to go to
the bathroom, go outside, report the gushing of blood, or fill up their plate
for dinner.

It worked well. The kids had a blast, the parents didn't have to interact with
them, and everyone had a good day!

The damage was usually relatively minor. <g>

LOL... well.. my parents house is the local gathering place and we've got
nearly the same banishment pit, filled with all the latest video games and
pcs where at least 5 or 6 other kids, includeing mine, ages 6-16 spend most
of the day. The 2-5'ers complain that they don't get a turn and the older
kids are too competative to work out a system to let the little kids play...
so the little ones chase each other around the house while the older ones
play in the dungeon. Up to 14 adults and 11 kids. Next plane will have to
be a Metroliner.

That's where their local distribution center is located. I don't know if
there's a DC closer to you than Wash. Crthse. If you go to the local
SuperCenter, see the "Select Fresh" brand of russet potatoes and it doesn't
say Idaho on the bag, odds are 1 out of 3 that they came from us. They
aren't our best customer but they aren't the cheapest customer either.
