So many questions. Where are we? Is this real? Does it matter? Can we stay?
Thank you to my friend Jeffrey Frank for this excellent idea. Terrific way to use leftovers.
If all the dressing vanished on Thanksgiving Day, make your favorite stove-top stuffing mix and bake it into waffles. Tear turkey into small pieces and heat with the gravy. Pour over waffles and top with a scoop of mashed potatoes with more gravy drizzled over the top. Be thankful. Again. Some more.
at the price of tears you cannot shed.
if they can’t be shared.
A hearty … Boy-We-Sure-Put-One-Over-on-Those-Stupid-Indians Day … to one and all!
“Fine meal, chaps. Burrrp. The corn was a nice touch. Sweet little country ya’ got here.
… and time to think up something to be thankful for. But not some tired old thing you’ve already heard a million times, and not something soppy, either, like how deeply thankful I am for world peace. Oh wait.
Every day I’m thankful for everything, so it’s hard to pick a fav. And people are all thankful for pretty much the same things, unless they don’t happen to have them. Food, shelter, health, wealth … BORING.
So today I’m just gonna say that I’m not nearly thankful enough for my friends. Also it’s cold as shiz outside. But mainly friends today. I abuse all of them by ignoring them, but they keep coming back for more. You all know who you are, I won’t embarrass you by calling you out, but thanks on a freaking cold Tuesday for everything. I mean it.
Goin’ with that last thing today. You know who you are — grab a cup of coffee and put your feet up. If done right, Monday rants can be highly therapeutic.
Blend together sugar, margarine, cream cheese, salt, almond extract, vanilla, and egg yolk with mixer. Mix in flour until well blended.
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Roll out dough, one third at a time, on a lightly floured surface. Using a cookie cutter dipped in flour, cut out cookies as close together as possible.
Place the cookies one inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. To prevent breaking, move cookies to and from baking sheets with a wide spatula or pancake turner.
Leave cookies plain or, if desired, brush with slightly beaten egg white and spring with colored sugar.
Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until bottoms of cookies are a light golden brown. Cool completely.
If desired, use the almond glaze below.
Stir all ingredients until smooth.
Pour 1 teaspoon of glaze on each sugar cookie. Use the back of the teaspoon to spread glaze evenly over cookie. Let glaze dry.
