Hey, don't knock the multi-cultural thing until you've
tried it! My husband was shocked the first time he
had turkey at my parents' house and saw that we all
eat turkey with chopsticks. (It does work...)

We got P a pair of starter chopsticks (the ones that are plastic and one
piece...look like a giant M), and he ate udon noodles with them last
week :-).

And I'm not being...strange, but how do you cut the turkey? :-) On your
plate, I mean.

Phoebe - hope you feel better!

Hopefully she does now...a day off...feet up :-)

P.S. My mother wanted to have Pillbug lick the jam,
lick the cheeseburger... I've been holding her back
like crazy. Now she's working overtime to "buy bananas"
for Christmas 'cause that's what we're going to start
with.

So she's going bananas? Ahahahahahahhahahhaa...I crack myself up.

I'd treat it like any other bigger-than-a-bite food. Hold
carved slice of turkey in chopsticks, dip in gravy / sauce,
bite off chunk, repeat or return to plate/bowl as needed.
It takes a little practice to bite off a piece without
dropping the rest.

Thanks, both of you! I seem to be on the mend, barring the
cough which will probably linger.

Duh. Yeah, smacking my forehead. Many times with a spider roll
*should* have clued me in with this one! Hey...ever tried Alton Brown's
cranberry dipping sauce?

Tart Cranberry Dipping Sauce
Recipe courtesy Alton Brown
Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 1 hour
Yield: 12 servings

1 pound frozen cranberries
2 cups orange juice
3 cups ginger ale
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 orange, zested

Combine all ingredients in a non-reactive saucepan, (stainless steel)
and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for
30 to 45 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half.

Carefully puree with stick blender or blender until smooth. Check for
seasoning and serve in small ramekins.

Thanks, both of you! I seem to be on the mend, barring the
cough which will probably linger.

I do Ricola's...they work great for me.

Hmmm... sounds much better than our thanksgiving meal - a turkey and
swiss cheese sandwich in the airport! That's what we get for spending
the holiday in Canada, far away from my family members who can cook.
Julie's happy because she doesn't like all that "american" food
anyway.
Rachel, still craving turkey and pecan pie...
