I am a little late today because I had the opportunity to go out and get some long overdue cleanup in the garden. The temps are good but the winds are strong. A cold front is heading our way and we are in the path of the strong storms headed across the country. Counties west of us are under tornado watches so its only a matter if time before we r too.

I still plan to mail my package tomorrow and will post after I do so. Here are todays super selection Sunday words

turkey
Rolls

so far pulled words are

nap
Gardenweb
eating
turkey
rolls

Time for recipes. How about posting your favorite roll/bread recipe. I just love the smell of bread baking. I refuse to buy a bread maker because that would be all I would eat.

Margo

Hi Everyone!
Margo, we had the tornado warnings down here in Kettering, sirens going off all over the place. None were sited tho. Strong winds all day, pretty clear right now.

Jayeanne, will be watching for the package and I know I'll enjoy it!

Rolls? I always plan to do something different, but end up doing the quick and easy tube types, turning them into garlic rolls, however, I'll post one that I would like to do this year, maybe I even will!!

Have a great evening!
Shirley!

Good Monday all. The wind has died down but not before knocking down my metal bird bath and breaking off the little birds perched on the side. I thought I had taken care of everything that might get damaged. Someones small plastic table ended up on our driveway minus a leg. No point in trying to find the owner.

Todays bingo word is

sweet potatoes

Off to mail my box. Margo

I had to go to my daughters apartment and get her food from her fridge because their power has been out since 5::30 last evening. After putting it in our spare fridge, (they are lucky we have that because they had just shopped and it would never have fit in ours. I then went to the post office and mailed my box to Nikki

DC 9505 5000 2693 3322 0000 68

Now as for my recipe for Thanksgiving roll/bread, I do biscuits from my Better Homes and Garden cookbook.

Drop biscuits

Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup shortening
1 cup milk

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet; set aside.

2. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt, and soda. Using a pastry blender or 2 knives, cut in shortening until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add buttermilk, stirring just until moistened. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheet.

3. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm. Makes 10 to 12 biscuits.

I can make them garlicky or cheesy as well. They are always a hit when nice and warm.

Margo

Whoo hoo hoo I am really thankful today. It's the second full day that I have felt like myself again in weeks. Seemed that I felt more like frankenstein, head too big to hold up feet and hands dragging while I tried to shuffel around. Sounds comical now but it sure wasn't while it lasted. Whatever this bug was is pretty potent. Jack is still struggling but gradually improving too.
That's a lot to be thankful for. Prayers and best wishes to all with illness and those in the midwest storm areas.
Bethb

Glad you're feeling better Beth.

Where is everyone? We need recipes. Speaking of recipes. I wil be sending recipes to everyone tomorrow. Please dont post who it is from. I hope you will prepare and serve the recipe at Thanksgiving. Then I would like you to post how you enjoyed it, what it was, and who you think sent it. Deadline for that will Saturday the 30th. A small prize to those who guess correctly.

Today the bingo word is wishbone. How are you all doing with the game?

Margo, I will try your recipe for drop rolls. I am simply terribe when it comes to making rolls. Yours sounds great!

Now my recipe...Not a roll recipe per se, but close enough. I love Popovers and have tried many recipes. I am always looking for the BEST POPOVER. I must say, I have not found it yet. This one is pretty good. Courtesy of Ina Garten...

POPOVERS (INA GARTEN FOOD NETWORK)

MAKES 12 popovers

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus softened butter for greasing pans
1 1/2 cups flour
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/2 cups milk, at room temperature

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Generously grease aluminum popover pans or Pyrex custard cups with softened butter. You'll need enough pans to make 12 popovers. Place the pans in the oven for exactly 2 minutes to preheat. Meanwhile, whisk together the flour, salt, eggs, milk, and melted butter until smooth. The batter will be thin. Fill the popover pans less than half full and bake for exactly 30 minutes. Do not peek while baking.

Happy Tuesday!

Annie

Hi Everyone! Home safe and sound!
And just in case I've never said this: I really hate driving thro Toledo - 13 exits? Oh please!

Margo, got home in time to mail your package out this afternoon. Should be there by Thursday or Friday, hope you enjoy! I have the DC# if needed.

I'll be back later with my recipe!
Shirley!

Here is a recipe for rolls that I want to try this year. I gave up making "from scratch" rolls/biscuits long ago. Usually I just get the tube types and spread them with butter and garlic salt before baking. This recipe is another take on that idea:

Hidden Valley Ranch Crescent Rolls:
Ingredients:
1 tube crescent rolls
1 pkg. dried Hidden Valley Ranch dressing
1 egg yolk
1 tsp. water

Beat yolk and water, spread over rolls.
Sprinkle with Ranch Dressing and roll up.
Place on greased baking sheet and bake at 375 for 11-12 minutes.

Well, it's a little bit different.
Talk to ya all tomorrow!
Shirley!

wow, these recipes sound great! Sorry to have been MIA lately - the week before a break is crazy for teachers and add a full moon in there....YUK
I did get to send Annie's package out today. I had fun putting it together and I found the cutest thing.... so appropriate with all these recipes coming. I won't spoil it for you Annie.
Bingo question- How many words do we need before saying bingo? all of them? It may have been explained already and I missed it.
Yall have a great Wednesday!
Nikki

Nikki...you need to get the "12" BINGO selections you sent to Margo. Once you have all 12, call BINGO! Looking forward to "the cutest thing"...LOL!

Jayeanne, I sent your MNF and OBF swaps out together yesterday late afternoon...priority flat rate. I actually was able to get both swaps in the flat rate padded envelope to my surprise....I did remove two items from their boxes, but they should be fine. Let me know if anything is broken! MNF (I AM THANKFUL) is wrapped in RED TISSUE with a PINK envelope and OBF (THANKSGIVING BLESSINGS) is wrapped in WHITE TISSUE with a WHITE envelope. Delivery should be Thursday or Friday.
Tracking label # 9114901159815338566452

Shirley, these rolls sound good! The dry Ranch Dressing mix, nice twist!!!!

Happy Day!!

Annie

I am sorry I am late with the Bingo word. I had a store meeting this morning so was out earlier than usual.

Before I give the word, I want to post that I received Shirley's box today and was thrilled with the contents. She sent the cutest metal decorative pumpkin that is already setting on the table. I figured why wait til Thanksgiving day to think of my thoughtful friend. She also sent pretty dinner napkins that I will definitely be using at dinner. There was a cute card with acorn squash seeds to plant in the spring. Can't wait. Thank you Shirley for the super box. I will be thinking of you on Thanksgiving day when I look at the pumpkin and use the napkins. Thinking of you will remind me of how we met on GW and that will remind me of all my GW friends that I am thankful for. :)

Now the word today is

November

I will be emailing everyone their recipes today. Please try to serve your item on Thanksgiving day or maybe even before. I hope you will post how it turned out and take a guess at whose recipe it is.

Thanks Margo

Ok, recipes are sent. Please let me know if you did not get yours or if you have any questions. I did my best to make sure you did not receive your own recipe so hopefully, I did it all ok.

Margo

Margo, glad you enjoyed the box, can you believe it was HARD to find something for Thanksgiving? The card was kind of snarky but it made me laugh!
And yes, I got the recipe. I'm going to try to persuade my daughter to make it instead of what she usually brings - oops, almost gave it away!
Work is done for the day and I am VERY thankful for that!
Shirley!

yahoo! I received my box from Margo today:

a pretty potholder with a birdhouse and seed packet on it - I will get to think of you often with this one Margo, so useful!

a solar dancing turkey! how cute is that?!? He will be in my dining room window for the thanksgiving meal:)

pretty thanksgiving napkins and an acrylic napkin holder to put them in. I finally will not have to ask my sister in law to bring her napkin holder to family gatherings... I will have my own I especially like that its acrylic so you can see the pretty napkins in it for seasonal gatherings.

and last but not least SEEDS:
black beauty zucchini
chives
sweet basil
orange scented thyme
carrot paisienne

I love everything!!!! Thanks so much Margo and for all of my gardenweb friends - I am thankful for you all.
Nikki

Jayeanne! Thank you for such a great package! The chocolate covered orange marshmellow pumpkin is already history!

I got a Happy Turkey Day card with three packs of seeds inside: Lettuce Mesclun, French Thyme and sage, which is one I really needed. Jayeanne also sent a beautiful t-towel with owls and leaves on it - whoever dries the dishes after dinner on Thanksgiving will be using this! A package of Thanksgiving napkins, a spiced pumpkin tart (candle) and a cute little spatula decorated with leaves. Jayeanne, this was wonderful, everything will be put to use over the holidays. Thank you, thank you! Such thoughtfulness!

Well, gotta go check out the game, oops, wrong swap! Gonna check it out anyway!
Shirley!

Jayeanne

Shirley -

So glad you enjoyed your package, my girls helped me put that together and we had fun together while doing it. They had a hard time leaving that chocolate covered orange marshmellow pumpkin in there, I was kinda wondering if that would get to you, or if they would sneak it outta there.... ha ha ha.

Hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving =)
Jayeanne

Unless I missed a post, we are just waiting for Annie's package to arrive and the sending and receiving is complete.

I hope everyone will continue to stop by for Bingo words and recipe sharing. Don't forget to share your reports on the recipes you will be preparing for Thanksgiving day and your guess as to who may have sent it.

See you for the next Bingo word tomorrow. Margo

Wow! That was quick. Tracking says that Annie's package was delivered today so I'm sure we will be hearing from her soon.
All the packages sound great - what a fun swap!
I will be checking in for the bingo words and recipe guesses, etc.
Happy Friday!
Nikki

Nikki, we look forward to hearing about Annie's package.

TGIF - today's Bingo word is corn.

Margo, I will post a potato dish today....

Here I am, the last one to report. Nikki, I just went out to get yesterdays mail and found your package on the porch.

Oh my, you sent me way to much! WOW!

Here we go.....

*Beet seeds Tall Top Early Wonder

*Cilantro seeds

*Better Homes and Gardens magazine, November issue

*50, yes 50, Glad jumbo bulbs "Brilliance" (RED)

*a WELCOME sign with a pumpkin ....This is really cool. The sign is about 9 x 8 with a hanger. It is made out of sheet metal/tin, very colorful and has a glitter like finish. I really like this!

*Pomegranite Cranberry soap...nice! I almost want to eat it!!

*Silver Measuring Spoons....these are BEAUTIFUL measuring spoons. Each of the four spoons has a bird
on the end of the spoon handle. The spoons are shovels. The measurement amount on each spoon (ie 1 TABLESPOON, 1 TEASPOON, 1/2 TEASPOON, 1/4 TEASPOON) will never come off as they are raised. These are durable, sturdy, heavy spoons. So charming, fun, cute...kind of whimsical! They are now hanging off of my kitchenaide on the counter. Why hide them?

Nikki, thank you so much!!!! Truly wonderful! Also, received your email...will get back to you today!

Annie

Just dropping by to say HI and to let everyone know that I am not doing well with Bingo, just in case you were wondering! How is everyone else doing?
Margo, will post a potato recipe soon, need to find the one I want, need it for Thanksgiving too, so I'd better get moving!
Still haven't talked my daughter into making my secret recipe for Thanksgiving. Drat, might have to do it myself :(

Have a great weekend,
Shirley!

Potato time...here is a recipe, not mashed potatoes...LOL!

I made German Potato Dumplings for the third time in my life a couple of months ago. I think I found this recipe on Food.com or allrecipes. Serve with beef roast and gravy, sauerbraten etc.

Kartoffelkloesse (German Potato Dumplings)

1 1/2 lbs russet potatoes ( about 2 large)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 cup all-purpose flour ( or more)
1/8 cup cornstarch (or potato starch, much preferred, if you can get it)
1 large egg
2 slices sourdough or 2 slices white bread (good quality)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon corn oil or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Trim crusts off bread and save them for another use.
Cut bread into 1/2-inch cubes and fry in butter and oil mixture until golden brown. Transfer to paper towel to dry.
Cook scrubbed, unpeeled potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 45 minutes.
Drain, cool slightly, peel and cut potatoes into large pieces.
Refrigerate until cold, about 30 minutes.
Mash potatoes with fork or run through ricer into large bowl.
Mix in salt and nutmeg.
Add 1/2 cup flour and cornstarch.
Using hands, knead mixture in bowl until smooth dough forms, adding more flour by tablespoonfuls if dough is sticky.
Mix in egg.
Form dough into balls, using 1/4 cupful for each.
Insert bread cube into center of each dumpling; roll dumpling between palms to enclose bread cube completely and form smooth balls.
Working in batches, cook dumplings in large pot of nearly boiling salted water 10-15 minutes (or until dumplings rise to top).
Using slotted spoon, transfer dumplings to large bowl.
Keep covered with a damp kitchen towel as remaining dumplings are cooked.
You should place no more than 4-5 dumplings in your pot at any one time in order to prevent them from sticking together or touching during cooking, which will cause them to fall apart.

Happy Friday evening!

Annie

Sounds yummy Annie..

I am so pleased that we were all so quick with your packages and everyone has received them well in advance of Thanksgiving. It will be fun knowing that we will all have reminders of our GW friends as we celebrate a time of thanksgiving.

Here is a recipe I found that is a make ahead mashed potato.

9 medium potatoes (3 pounds)
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup whipping (heavy) cream
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper

1. Scrub potatoes. Leave skins on, if desired, or peel thinly and remove eyes. Cut into large pieces. Heat 1 inch water (salted if desired) to boiling in 3-quart saucepan; add potato pieces. Cover and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cook covered 20 to 25 minutes or until tender; drain. Shake pan gently over low heat to dry potatoes.
2 Heat milk, whipping cream, butter, salt and pepper in 1-quart saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted. Measure out 1/4 cup of the milk mixture; cover and refrigerate.
3 Add remaining milk mixture in small amounts to potatoes in medium bowl, mashing with potato masher or electric mixer after each addition. (Amount of milk needed to make potatoes smooth and fluffy depends on kind of potatoes used.) Beat vigorously until potatoes are light and fluffy.
4 Spray 2-quart casserole with cooking spray. Spoon potatoes into casserole. Bake immediately, or cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours.
5 Heat oven to 350ºF. Pour reserved milk mixture over potatoes. Bake uncovered 40 to 45 minutes or until potatoes are hot. Just before serving, stir potatoes.

How are you all doing with your words?

OOPS! wrong swap! I am nowhere near being close - Sorry!

Well, I've searched and searched for that potatoe recipe and can't find the dratted thing. So I will tell you what I remember from it.

It was called a Fall Vegetable Medley and it called for fresh vegetables. You will need potatoes, sweet potatoes, turnips, beets (?), cauliflower and as many kinds of squash as you can fit in. Peel, cube, chop, etc., the veggies. Lightly coat them with olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. Place in 8x11 pan and cover with foil. Roast at 350 until all the vegetables are tender. I remember thinking that I was going to parboil the white potatoes first. I also made a note to try this using my favorite salad dressing instead of the oil.
If you try this, let me know how it turns out, okay?!

Off to do dishes,
Shirley!

Hi all! Just checking in... looks like I have about 1/2 of the bingo words. I hope everyone is having a great week. I was able to do some seed harvesting yesterday. Today, I need to clean the inside of the house and leave the outside alone lol.
Looking forward to seeing the recipe pics. I just hope I can make the one I was given - not known around here for my cooking skills...
Happy Monday!

It's manic Monday to two words today.

Happy Thanksgiving....Enjoy your day!

Annie

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Gardenweb friends. My recipe is prepared and I am anxious to give it a try for dinner.

I ran a Smoke the Turkey 5k bright and early this morning in temperatures in the mid 20's. Benefits hospice so was glad to do it.

Now, in thanks for all my GW friends, I am giving three words today. I sure hope someone is getting close.

stuffing
Thanksgiving
cornucopia

Enjoy the day. Margo

Happy Black Friday. I have to say I have not done any shopping today or yesterday. Most sales get repeated so I will shop at my leisure when I can. LOL

I did my Gardenweb friends recipes yesterday and it was a hit. It was a sweet potato recipe but I can't tell you who until after everyone has posted their guesses. I hope everyone was able to make up the recipe they were given. If not, you have until Sunday to do so and make your guess as to whose recipe it is.

Today's double word draw is

pie
mashed potatoes

Happy shopping to those who are brave enough to go out today. :)

Margo

Hi Everyone!
I don't shop anytime, willingly, definitely not going out today!
Margo, I made my recipe for a litte office party we had on Wed. It was the Green Bean Bundles. Everyone liked it. Several had tried it themselves and some wanted the recipe. I really liked it and will make it again, but think I will try to get the bacon crispier next time.

My guess is Annie!

My kids vetoed any messing around with the green beans. So tomorrow, when we gather and celebrate, it will be, you guessed it, Green Bean Casserole!

Hope everyone is having a good day,
Shirley!

I am making my ?????? recipe today. I will report back by Sunday with reviews and my guess for who submitted it. Looking forward to making it.

Regarding shopping today...I have NEVER gone shopping the day after Thanksgiving and I NEVER will. I must add that the word "NEVER" is a word I use carefully.

It is raining YAH!!! I am cooking, I have college football on, I am bringing all my Christmas stuff down from the attic....nice day!!

Happy Friday! I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Annie

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving day! Mine was wonderful starting with breakfast with my extended family on my mother's side. It was the perfect time for my recipe, Sticky bun breakfast ring. I have pictures on my phone but I'm not sure how to get them on here... tips?
It was a big hit! Everyone was so impressed:) Thanks to whoever sent it in... I'm guessing Shirley?
I really want to see pics of everyones recipes. I love pics.
Have a great weekend!
Nikki

Even though we are going to have to have a new well drilled, old one went dry which is what ran the pump until it burned out...Im very Thankful for many things...our Thanksgiving day was wonderful and I cant complain - even with no water. Besides that...I really enjoyed the Cranberry Jello Salad....and so did the kids! It is gone! D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S...! My guess is going to be Annie! =)

Jayeanne

Just checking to see if anyone else has posted about their recipe. I am glad to see you guys did try them and that Annie will be doing hers tomorrow. Once I check her guess, I will let you all know who sent the recipes in. We will see then if we have a winner.

I checked everyones list and we do have a Bingo winner but apparently the winner does not realize it. LOL I will wait until tomorrow sometime to see if she figures it out. If not, I will announce it.

See you all tomorrow. Margo

Bingo, Bingo, Bingo!! Just checked the last full list and found two I had missed! Can't believe I went Bingo, first time ever!

I sure hope I'm right.

Night all,
Shirley!

Congratulations Shirley, you are indeed the winner. I will be sending off your prizes asap.

Once Annie reports on her recipe, I will let you know who sent what. I will also post all the recipes so you can all see what was served.

Thank you to all of you for helping me with this swap. It seems it was a great success. I know I had fun hosting it. I enjoyed thinking of all of you while at Thanksgiving.

Margo

Time to report on my recipe!

I made SWEET POTATO ROLLS.....these were delicious! Easy, very quick to put together and tasty. I have made many recipes with sweet potatoes but never a roll type recipe. My guess for who sent this recipe in is Margo.

Thanks you Margo for "I Am Thankful"....what a fun swap!! Great group of ladies here!!

Happy Sunday!!

Annie

Cranberry Jello Salad:
This is a recipe that you can make whatever size you want or need:
1 can of cranberry sauce
1 can mandarin oranges
Nuts
1 pkg. raspberry jello
Mix Jello and let "froth" for about 20 minutes;
then, drain oranges and add to jello.
Add 2-4 tsps. of the cranberry sauce;
Mix well, adding nuts, if wanted.
Refrigerate until firm.
This is the only way my kids will eat cranberry sauce!
Several years, it didn't gel real firm, so don't be surprised if it doesn't; tastes good anyway!
I serve it at the beginning of the meal, in small dishes. if you serve it for a dessert, you can add Dream Whip.
Enjoy!
Thanks again to everyone. Margo

Annie, your prize will be in the mail soon. Congratulations.

And here is Margos recipe that I prepared for Sweet Potato Rolls.

Sweet Potato Rolls

2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup yellow cornmeal
2-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup cold butter, cubed
1 cup mashed sweet potato
1/2 cup fat-free milk
2 tablespoons honey

In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the sweet potato, milk and honey just until moistened. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead 5-8 times. Pat out to 1/2-in. thickness; cut with a floured 2-in. biscuit cutter.

Place 2 in. apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 14-18 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve warm. Makes 17 biscuits.

Thanks again Margo!

Annie

Thanks, Margo, it was a great swap.
LOVED the card too!
Shirley!

Margo, I recieved my prize yesterday!!! A lovely card and .......So cute, so cute, so cute....little black, red and white mittons. They are hanging happily on my Christmas tree......
