Guest guest Posted October 29, 2001 Report Share Posted October 29, 2001 Hi All! Melinda: " OH thanksgiving is GREAT!!!! the highlights are um..... FOOD, FOOD, and um....... more FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!And turkey." Turkey? I heard about that one before..... suddenly reminded of Mr Bean, who got his head stuck in a giant turkey during Thanksgiving in one of the episodes? Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!! The only time my family has such a feast is during the Chinese New Year, with all the steamboat, New Year cakes, etc. Jessi: " and Family and giving thanks ) I like thanksgiving, Christmas in my family everyone seems to get greedy but thanksgiving is always nice. In Ca it would be Nana and my Great uncle and Kelley (lol plus the animals) and just all sit around and visit (mostly just me and Kel) and of course FOOTBALL!!!!!!!!! ) lol " Football? Anyway, my family is always greedy, like Mel's, but we are EXTREMELY greedy during Christmas! Ling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 Hi Trish, I am wondering how you make the pumpkin custard. I am a non secretor but I have made it with soy milk - that is an avoid also but not as problematic as milk is for me. I just love a pumpkin dessert and need to find the best recipe I can..... Happy Thanksgiving. Ann Thanksgiving It is Thanksgiving next weekend here in Canada and I'm wondering if anyone has some suggestions for alternatives. I'm planning on making a loaf of spelt bread (I don't usually eat bread at all) so I can make my own stuffing and I'll buy a turkey breast and stuff and cook it some time this week . . . then I can take my own stuffing when I go to my Family Gathering. I will also make my own pumpkin custard without the pastry. I'll just skip the potatoes and gravy (or I might make my own gravy as well with spelt flour). Any other ideas how to deal with these traditional foods? Thanks, Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 Hi again, My brother was a celiac and therefore could not eat wheat so my mother made a rice dressing that she put in one end of the bird and then the usual in the other. You could just make a little rice dish with the seasonings and onion etc. I am wondering if rice flour will thicken the gravy.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 I will peruse all my recipes from all the past ER since 1998 and look for Holiday recipes for you tomorrow. I believe there are some very good pumpkin recipes in there. Lowell Barron wrote:Hi Trish, I am wondering how you make the pumpkin custard.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 Ann, Sweet brown rice flour is supposed to be the best. I think that regular rice flour would probably work also.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2002 Report Share Posted October 5, 2002 I understand it works well if it is fresh. It may not thicken as well if it isn't. Re: Thanksgiving > cant you use arrowroot to thicken gravy?? > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 7, 2002 Report Share Posted October 7, 2002 Hi Ann I took about half a can of pumpkin, added 1/2 cup of Rice Dream, spices, 1 egg, about 2 tablespoons of honey and about 1 Tablespoon of tapioca flour. Threw them all in the blender for a few seconds then baked it at 350 for about 45 minutes. Is was definately delicious!!!

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2002 Report Share Posted October 7, 2002 This is a great idea! Only problem is that I won't get to my family's place till close to dinner time . . . so the bird will be all cooked. I'll remember it for next time though. This time, I picked up a turkey breast and a deboned thigh and put it in between the two and roasted it. Worked well!

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 > Nope, next Saturday, the 16th. Okay, now we can all work on you. Try to find out what will be served, or if you remember from previous experience, just write it all down. Now make a list of everything you really *want* to eat and can't live without, like a special dish that's only made once a year on this day, and know you're going to eat some. Make out your own menu now - everything that you plan on eating that day. Make sure to include all your drinks and dessert. Look up their calorie counts or FoodMover windows and see how much of each food you can realistically eat and not eat a day's worth of calories in that one meal. Carry that paper with you when you go next Saturday and glance at it frequently. Remind yourself *why* you're only going to allow yourself to eat only a limited amount of these favorite foods, but also realize you're NOT depriving yourself, but treating yourself by having them. Do all the old dieters' tricks, like drinking plenty of water before sitting down to eat, have a big green salad before the main course, chew your food thoroughly and slowly and don't wolf everything down, etc. Remember, Thanksgiving *is* a Feast Day, but that doesn't mean you're allowed to eat yourself into a stupor, then feel sick and guilty about it for the rest of the year. Learn to enjoy the company more than the food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2002 Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Kathy, I don't have to cook either. Mom is doing that. She likes to cook for Thanksgiving and I only have to bring two pies (already cooked). My daughter said she wished that I was making dressing since she doesn't like my mother's. I have all of the below except the IEP team and alas my inlaws passed (and I loved them)but I also have a good job. I took in a lot of stuff for the food drive at school. There are 9,000 kids in Savannah who go to be hungry every night. I brought in flour, sugar, collard greens (yuk), sweet potatoes, and canned goods. I also bought a doll for the Christmas toy drive. I can't handle the thought of kids going hungry or toyless during the Holidays. I am thankful that I can do this for someone else. We feed families of kids at our school. We fed 35 last year and got the PTA to donate turkeys. Sorry I got off on this tangent and I'm not tooting my own horn. I think it's food for thought. Elaine I do have so much to be thankful for, my Lord who has given me Grace, great kids, a hubby who puts up with me, Inlaws who don't bug me but love me and an IEP TEAM who just agreed that I am right lolol and oooohhhh I don't have to cook Thursday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2003 Report Share Posted November 2, 2003 Regarding eating at Thanksgiving... I'll never forget my last Thanksgiving prior to my surgery (one week later!). My family opted to go to The Doubletree Hotel brunch, which was an ENORMOUS display of decadent eating. Table after table of EVERYTHING I could not eat. I opted for oysters, thinking that they would slide down my throat if I cut them with my fork really small and chewed them thoroughly prior to swallowing. Pathetic. Of course, I was still running to the bathroom periodically, even with slippery tiny well masticated oysters as my attempt at Thanksgiving dinner. It was great to be with family, but I'll never forget that feeling of sadness as I looked at all of that food. Sadness about not being able to eat, mixed with disbelief that we as a society could BE so decadent in a world filled with hunger! I wondered how much food was wasted and thrown away that day as I sat there looking at it. Such a strange mixture of paradox. I choked a few times, evoked looks of despair from my family, yet I still enjoyed being there with them more than I would have wanted to be home alone. Now that I can eat again, I will include all of you in my prayers of Thanksgiving this year. No matter what stage of A we are all in, we share something that those who do not suffer from this disease do not. May there someday be a full cure to this thing called " A " . God Bless you all as we enter this season of Thankfulness coupled with stress for many. We should all keep each other in our hearts this season. in Houston > , I just read your email re eating and the holidays, I had just > said to my family that this will be the first time in 7 years that I > will finally be able to eat the " GOOD STUFF " I was afraid to actually > try to eat anything that always caused me so much pain pre surgery, > but slowly I had a piece of watermelon, then a grape and now I can > have a salad!
