Actually, the topic of Tawassul (using a means to seek Allah's help) is one of the controversial issues among Muslim nation that has not been understood in its due perspective, and which proved hostility and hatred among different groups.
Muslims are supposed to rely on the understanding of Salaf (Prophet and his Companions, the second generation after them, and the third generation after). These are the best generations as the Prophet (S) told us.
I regret to say that only a few number of Muslims adhere and follow the way of Salaf regarding this subject while a lot of them deviated from the right way and fell into the stagnant pool of innovations and superstitions.
The author really clarified this topic by mentioning the proofs and evidences which support the three types of the allowed Tawassul and at the same time answered the suspicions and confusions surrounding this matter.
May Allah guide Muslims to the proper understanding and practice of the allowed Tawassul.

Environmental Law Conference: An Essential Guide to Current UK & EU Developments
Course details
- Date 11 December 2013
- Time 09:30 - 17:15
- Location London
- Full venue address Venue to be confirmed 14 days prior to the course date London United Kingdom
- CPD Hours 6
Delegate Rate
Subscribers to the MBL Season Ticket scheme are entitled to 25% discount. - Event type Conference
The panel of leading environmental law experts will deal with the following important current developments, amongst others:
* The new Statutory Guidance on contaminated land
* The implications of the huge variations in the way in which member states have implemented the Environmental Liability Directive
* The 'Waste Oils to Fuel Oil' protocol
* The complex and often confusing environmental permitting regime
* EU and UK drivers for increased energy efficiency
* The Habitats and Birds Directives and the proposed EIA Directive
What You Will Learn
This Conference will cover the following topics:
9:30am - 10:15am: Land Contamination - Where are we Now?
Andrew Wiseman, Stephenson Harwood
There have been significant changes in relation to Part 2A and the planning regime. The costs of remediating Contaminated Land is increasing, clients are becoming more aware of the risks and this impacts on all property transactions and redevelopment.
* The new Statutory Guidance - what do the changes really mean?
* The new 4 category test explained
* Relationship between the NPPF, local guidance and land contamination
* Impact on transactions, precedents and liability
* Where next?
10:15am - 11:00am: Implementation and enforcement of the Environmental Liability Directive
Valerie Fogleman, Stevens & Bolton
Implementation and enforcement of the ELD across the EU has resulted in a patchwork of legislation to prevent and remedy environmental damage. The huge variations mean that companies must carefully consider the legislation transposing the ELD in individual Member States due to significant differences between that in other Member States. Differences include thresholds of liability, number of competent authorities, and extent of strict liability.
* Similarities and differences in legislation transposing the ELD between Member States
* Effect of existing national law on implementation and enforcement
* Incidents under the ELD
* The future of the ELD
11:15am - 12:00: End of Waste - The Final Conflict
Professor Vincent Brown, Strathclyde University Law School
In this presentation, Vincent Brown will analyse the end of waste criteria and the tensions between the UK and EU, both in legal terms and from the practical technical perspective of industry. In particular, he will address:
* The progress and outcomes from the Commission/UK 'dialogue'
* The critical points of law at stake and how these should shape EU and Member State law in the coming years
* The wider Treaty and EU backdrop, and interaction with other EU directives
* Implications for industry - with examples of End of Waste battles 'from the front' and how these illustrate the key legal issues
12:00 - 12:45pm: Environmental Permitting
Andrew Waite, Keystone Law
This session will consider the main aspects of the environmental permitting system now embodied in the Environmental Permitting (England and Wales) Regulations 2010 as amended. The system is complex and sometimes confusing as it draws together a number of different regimes which impose a consent requirement before an activity is carried out. However, it does achieve a unified permitting system. The session will cover:
* Implementing IPPC
* BAT, ELCs and EQS
* Permitting procedures, appeals and revocation of permits
* Suspension and enforcement notices, offences
* Variation of conditions
* Standard rules
* Industrial Emissions Directive and other Directives implemented through environmental permitting
12:45pm - 1:00pm: Questions on Morning Session
2:00pm - 2:50pm: Environmental Impact Assessment and Habitats
Richard Harwood QC, Thirty Nine Essex Street
Environmental Impact Assessment is intended to improve the quality of, and public involvement in, decision making. Yet the scope and operation of EIA provokes a continuing stream of litigation. The Habitats and Birds Directives protect sensitive sites, many of which are close to urban areas and proposed development.
* Screening case law
* Mitigation, cumulative impact and the meaning of project
* Applying the Habitats tests
* Proposed EIA Directive
2:50pm - 3:40pm: Regulatory and Private Pollution Controls
Gordon Wignall, No5 Chambers
This part of the conference will seek to spotlight contemporary developments in criminal, civil and administrative areas relevant to the control of potentially polluting activities not dealt with by other speakers, closing with the question whether the Aarhus Convention can be relied upon in the Courts.
* Private and public nuisance: the current position
* Recent statutory nuisance cases
* Update on recent criminal sentencing guidance - non-criminal sanctions
* Aarhus and its application in planning and environmental appeals
3:55pm - 4:45pm: Energy Efficiency: To 2020 and Beyond
Ross McDowall, Pinsent Masons
The reduction of energy use in commercial operations and building stock is one of the key planks of the UK's strategy to tackle climate change. The UK government's framework for promoting energy efficiency includes a number of levers which developers and lawyers need to be aware of to ensure not only that they are compliant with the law, but also so they are able to take advantage of the opportunities available to promote the green economy.
* EU and UK drivers for increased energy efficiency
* Energy efficiency of building stock: sticks and carrots
* Capping energy consumption
* Has progress been made?

Diamond engagement rings are available in hundreds of designs. You can even design your own engagement ring using loose diamonds and your own personal creativity. Five of the latest, most desirable engagement rings on the market right now are listed below.
Princess Cut Diamonds
For decades, princess cut diamonds have been a favourite among couple who want to tie the knot. This widely popular diamond cut was first introduced in 1960. Since that time, it has taken off and quickly become one of the most popular loose diamond cuts around the world; and remains so to this day.
Round Brilliant Cut Diamonds
Representing the largest number of loose diamonds sold around the world, the round brilliant cut diamond shape is the most popular diamond shape in today's market. It has really held the number one slot for many years. Most agree the popularity of diamond engagement rings with the round brilliant cut stones is due to the brilliance of the hearts and arrows that can be viewed within the rock when it is cut into this pattern.
Asscher Cut Diamonds
This shape loose diamond is quickly growing in popularity among the rich and famous. Jessica Alba, Gwyneth Paltrow, Joseline Hernandez, and Ashlee Simpson are all toting beautifully crafted Asscher cut diamonds rings. This diamond pattern is named after the Asscher brothers who are credited with creating the shape more than a century ago.
Radiant Cut Diamonds
Diamond engagement rings crafted with radiant cut diamonds are another very popular choice among lovebirds. Their popularity is thought to be attributed to their resemblance to princess cut and cushion cut diamonds. What makes the radiant cut diamonds so popular is their stunningly unique facet pattern, coupled with their modified overall square shape.
Cushion Cut Diamonds
This is one of the oldest diamonds cut out of all other diamond cuts. With a few alterations, its popularity has stood the test of time. This is one of the top 5 diamond cuts among couples for diamond engagement rings.
The corners of the cushion cut diamond have been rounded more while still retaining the overall square shape. Not much else has been changed over the past two or more centuries. The rounded corners have put this diamond cut back on the list of the top 5 most popular diamond cuts, and the new surge of popularity continues to grow.
At the end of the day, you should choose whatever diamond shape most appeals to you and your sweetie. The ring you select will be special to both of you no matter which configuration you choose. However, if you want to pick out one that's among the most popular, any of these 5 would be a good choice.
And remember, as long as the diamond engagement ring you ultimately select is cherished by the one who receives it, you can't go wrong.

A body bag is brought to a boat which holds the body of a man who jumped from the James Rumsey Bridge near Shepherdstown, W.Va., on Wednesday. The body was found downstream from the bridge and was brought to the boat launch area. (By Ric Dugan, Staff Photographer) |
SHEPHERDSTOWN, W.Va.—
A 55-year old Waynesboro, Pa., man jumped more than 100 feet to his death Wednesday afternoon from the James Rumsey Bridge over the Potomac River near Shepherdstown, according to police.The man was pronounced dead by rescuers after he was pulled from the river at about 2:30 p.m., Washington County Sheriff's Deputy David Haugh said. Family members and the Waynesboro Police Department told investigators the man had made previous suicide attempts, Haugh said.
Three witnesses saw the man jump from the bridge and two others saw his body floating in the river, Haugh said.
A man with a power boat piloted it toward the body and Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies used the craft to retrieve the victim, who was in the water for about 10 minutes, Haugh said.
The man was pulled from the river at the Princess Street boat ramp in Shepherdstown, about half-mile downriver from the bridge where Md. 34 crosses into West Virginia.
The man's vehicle was found parked at the Bavarian Inn, Haugh said. Investigators believe he drove himself there, Haugh said.
A Maryland medical examiner was called to the scene to determine the cause of death.
Doug Pittinger, director of Jefferson County (W.Va.) Emergency Services, said the original call was placed to Jefferson County 911 just before 2:13 p.m.
Also at the scene were members of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Department, Maryland State Police, West Virginia State Police, Shepherdstown Police and Shepherd University Police, along with Sharpsburg Area Rescue Service, Potomac Valley Fire Department and Shepherdstown Rescue.
Maryland Department of Natural Resources Police also were called to assist in the investigation, Pittinger said.
The Washington County Sheriff's Office was leading the investigation.

so for my art project we had to fake a death/murder. for mine I did someone who had jumped off a building. when I was laying down while the picture was being taken, 7 people came running up to me asking if I was okay and if I needed an ambulance etc. I've been suicidal for a very long time, and the thoughts of jumping off buildings and ending my life have gone through my mind a thousand times. But the fact that people actually stopped and came running over to see if I was alright made me see that people do care, strangers care. so many people looked and walked past, but these 7 people some how took these suicidal feelings away… weird huh? But the moral of this story is that people do care about you, even people who don't know who you are.

NOAA goes 'live' with new weather supercomputers
"That is a huge improvement, and we can't make those kinds of improvements unless we have a bigger computer," said Kyger, of the 15% gains.
More compute power allows for higher resolution, which enables scientists to look at forecasting impacts over much smaller areas.
Right now, the NWS global forecasting system runs at a resolution of 27 kilometers, with 64 vertical levels, which shows the atmospheric conditions at various heights.
Last fall, when Hurricane Sandy struck, there was a belief that the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) had a better storm track model further out.
Criticism over the U.S. forecasting ability has followed post Sandy.
The European model "did a better job at some points in the storm track than the U.S. models did," said Barry Lee Myers, the CEO of AccuWeather Inc., at a House hearing in May on "Restoring U.S. Leadership in Weather Forecasting."
During Sandy, the European Center had computers capable of producing resolution at 16 kilometers, with 130 vertical levels, according to NWS officials.
In nine months, the NWS expects to be at 13 kilometers resolution.
The increased resolution is "going to improve the lead time for all significant weather events," said Kyger.
In June, ECMWF announced that it had signed a contract to purchase two Cray XC30 systems. The speed of these systems is not being disclosed but a Cray spokesman said "it will be a petascale system."
Kyger referred to the Europeans as "teammates" and said they use each other's models. "I would call it friendly competition," he said.

Sun, May 16, 2004
The Reuters news service is reporting that an Embraer 120 turboprop aircraft operated by Rico Linhas Aereas has crashed into the Amazon jungle, killing all 33 pax and crew. Rescue crews have only found scattered debris, and an explosion of some type is suspected as the cause of the crash.
The aircraft was just a couple of minutes away from landing in the city of Manaus when it disappeaed from ATC radar. The remains of the aircraft were found in dense jungle about nine miles from Manaus airport on Friday in northwest Amazonas state, some 1,200 miles from the capital city of Brasilia.
Rescue crews arrived at the site but abandoned the search for survivors when they found only scattered human remains and small fragments of the aircraft. A spokesman for the airline suggested that the lack of any large pieces of wreckage indicated the plane exploded.
One of the coordinators of the rescue mission, Maj. Raimundo Rodrigues da Silva, stated that witnessres had seen a ball of flame near the time of the crash. "We don't know if it was in the air or on the ground," said Rodrigues da Silva, chief of the Amazonas State Fire Department.
The aircraft was carrying a full load of pax from Sao Paulo de Olivenca airport to Manaus, after making stops in the towns of Tabatinga and Tefe.
Embraer, the world's fourth-largest civil aviation manufacturer, is sending a team to the crash site to assist authorities in the investigation.

Mary is the subject of our brand new baker's dozen, as the show returns to BBC2. It's not all pies and prizes - here are your must have Mary facts...
She's the septuagenarian glamour puss with a smile that turns our hearts to patisserie custard - and she's finally back on our tellies.
Mary Berry CBE, author, presenter and personality is a national treasure. A powerhouse of cake, comfort and crumbs.
But just how much do we really know about the doyenne of doilies? After all, there's much more to Mary than sprung bottom tins.
Where can we find some more Berry baking facts? Don't worry, we've licked the bowl of Mary knowledge and discovered some scrumptious info:
1. Mary Berry has been an author since the 1970s and she's written more than 70 books. We should warn you that Mary Berry's Stress-free Kitchen contains absolutely no advice about how to order a takeaway.
2. Mary's enterprising parents kept goats to supplement their WW2 milk ration.
3. She loves her job so much she has been known to do it on holiday. During family holidays in Devon, she went and worked at a bakery in Salcombe "because they were quite ahead of their time". Hands up if that made you feel guilty about setting up your Out Of Office.
4. According to heat magazine, Mary's last meal would be "a nice piece of toast and some potted shrimps".
5. The first thing Mary ever made in the kitchen was a treacle sponge, produced during a Domestic Science lesson with a little help from teacher Miss Date.
6. She finds Paul Hollywood's wardrobe very distressing. "He's going with the trend, but it looks like he can't afford [trousers] without any holes in them." Let's hope Paul listens to Mary's advice soon, or he's in for a chilly winter.
7. Mary got into trouble for a recipe in her Complete Cookbook that featured shark fillets. Does Quorn do a shark substitute?
8. A celeb chef that gets Berry's Bake Off Beam of approval is Nigella Lawson. After working with Nigella, Mary said "No wonder people follow her - she's a powerhouse." We can't think of a dreamier team than Mary and Nigella. Let's hope for some more collaborations.
9. However, Gordon Ramsey does not get a thumbs up from Mary, because he makes television that is "violent, cruel and noisy." After that comment, we've deduced that she's probably not a fan of Grand Theft Auto.
10. Going to a dinner party? Mary says: "You don't need to take flowers or a bottle of wine when you go to a friend's, you can take your own bake." If you're a brilliant baker like Mary, that's fine. But if you're less than confident in the kitchen, you might need to present your efforts with all the wine you can carry.
11. Does Mary have a celeb crush? Apparently Hugh Jackman is "absolutely to die for". This calls for a recipe for adamantine sponge fingers.
12. Mary first hit our screens in 1973, presenting The Good Afternoon Show with Judith Chalmers. Mary said she had "an absolutely awful voice, like the Queen". Shhhh! What would Her Madge say?
13. Despite the aforementioned royal wobble, Mary has revealed "Prince William said Kate used my recipes." Now we know what Prince George will be chewing on when his teeth come through...

- December 7, 2013 WPU Speaker Series: Korrel Kanoy, Ph.D. The Everything Parents' Guide to Children's Emotional Intelligence William Peace University is delighted to welcome back Korrel Kanoy, Ph.D., Professor Emerita, to William Peace University to present on emotional intelligence in children. Kanoy will discuss her book, "The Everything Parents' Guide to Children's Emotional Intelligence: How to Raise Children Who Are Caring, Resilient, and Emotionally Strong" (from her "Everything" series) and sign copies of her books after the Q&A session. Kanoy notes that a child's emotional intelligence has been shown to be one of the strongest factors in whether or not that child will be successful later in life. A child with high emotional intelligence (EQ) has good self-control, resilience, and empathy--all factors that help build a foundation for a more grounded, satisfying, and successful life. With "The Everything Parent's Guide to Emotional Intelligence in Children," you will learn how to help your child: Improve academic achievement and behavior Achieve mindfulness Understand emotions Empathize with others Improve self-confidence Build inner resilience This hands-on guide shows you exactly how to promote core EQ skills in your child and provides you with all you need to help your children achieve their greatest potential. Biography Dr. Korrel Kanoy joined the Peace faculty in 1981. Rising through the ranks, she became Professor of Psychology, and served in several administrative roles, including Dean of Academic Affairs from 2006-2009. During the 2011-2012 academic year, Kanoy provided leadership to the university's Institutional Research area, helping increase the use of assessment and other data, contributing directly to preparing for the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) review for reaccreditation. In addition to her academic ties to Peace, Kanoy was also connected to the institution through her late mother-in-law, Peace College alumna Betsy Fields Kanoy '41. Through over 30 years teaching psychology, child development and emotional intelligence, Kanoy maintained an active scholarly life, writing books and articles on parent-child interactions, emotional intelligence, and retention. In 2011, higher-education publisher Jossey-Bass invited her to write a textbook, facilitation guide and student workbook titled The Student EQ Edge: Emotional Intelligence and Your Academic and Personal Success – all released in February of 2013. Seeking a new challenge, Kanoy noted the writing, "stretched me in ways that I had not been stretched before." She also published The Everything Parent's Guide to Emotional Intelligence in Children in 2013. (All available on Amazon.com.) "Emotional intelligence is the capacity for recognizing how one's emotions are affecting behaviors and then managing those emotions more effectively to improve outcomes (such as better decision making or more effective communication) which is associated with healthier relationships and more academic or work success," she explained. In 2008, first-year Peace students were required take a test measuring emotional intelligence. According to longitudinal research Kanoy did, the students with the highest EI scores as first-year students were more likely to graduate four years later, even though they did not have better high-school GPAs or SAT scores than non-graduates. In 2004, Kanoy co-founded, with former Peace professor Dr. Heather Lee, Developmental Associates, LLC, a consulting firm that specializes in developing emotional intelligence and leadership skills for individuals working in education, government and non-profit settings. What started as part-time work that she described as interesting and fun became full-time after she retired from Peace in July 2012.

Four-Year Baccalaureate University Hosts Its Fall 2013 Speaker Series Presented By Duke Energy Featuring Native North Carolinians As Guests
RALEIGH, N.C. – William Peace University (http://www.peace.edu), a private four-year university located in downtown Raleigh, has announced that motivational speaker Joseph B. Washington and author Adam Shepard, both native North Carolinians, will serve as its fall 2013 speaker series presenters in Kenan Recital Hall.

Shepard's novel Scratch Beginnings has been selected as the 2013-2014 summer reading for all incoming first-year students as well as the greater campus community for its alignment with the university's quality enhancement plan and ethical decision making. His presentation titled "Scratch Beginnings: Me, $25 and the Search for the American Dream," will be held from 7 p.m. until 8 p.m. on Sept 17. Shepard will discuss with attendees his journey of finding a job, saving $2,500, purchasing a vehicle and furnishing an apartment in just one year.

"Each year we look forward to unveiling the upcoming presenters in our annual leadership speaker series, and this year is no different, as we welcome Joseph Washington and Adam Shepard onto our campus to share their insight and expertise with students, faculty, staff and the greater Raleigh community," said Debra M. Townsley, Ph.D., president of William Peace University. "Both dynamic speakers are sure to bring excitement to our campus as they discuss their individual journeys, and the knowledge and insights they have learned which attendees can take away to improve and enrich their own paths. These presentations are generously brought to the community by Duke Energy, which we thank for its sponsorship of the events."

I read somewhere that showing off your latest tech toys, wearing tons of jewelry and parking a new ride in your driveway has become gauche.
Hip, hip, hooray! In this troubled economy, I could lose my job at any moment. In case youŌĆÖre wondering, my current job is piddling and puttering, but I may have to give it up and return to the work force. IŌĆÖm doing everything possible to avoid losing my dream job.
The news that being a conspicuous consumer is no longer cool, made me jump for joy. In fact, I may be the coolest girl on the block.
My truck is going on 11 years old and IŌĆÖve begun coloring my own hair. I even tried cutting it myself and ended up looking like a green haired Buster Brown. (No one ever told me that you should never color gray hair with any shade that smacks of ash. I used a color called ŌĆ£light ash brownŌĆØ and glowed a pale green for six weeks.)
IŌĆÖve begun reusing things I once threw away. That includes aluminum foil and the cotton swabs from vitamin pill bottles. Someone suggested I learn how to darn socks but I told them I know how ŌĆō every time I wash my underwear, I scream ŌĆ£Where are my darn socks!!ŌĆØ I also know how to damn socks. I could give lessons if you are interested.
My heat hasnŌĆÖt been turned on yet despite a few dips into the 30s. My drafty old house has 12-foot ceilings and in the best of times, when the heat runs non-stop, the only warm place is on top of a very tall ladder. WhatŌĆÖs the point? For the first time since menopause set it, IŌĆÖm cool as a cucumber.
With gas prices through the roof, IŌĆÖve begun coasting while driving down hills. Race up, coast down. I feel like a child again. I figure it saves on gasoline and it sure messes with the minds of other drivers.
For Thanksgiving IŌĆÖm considering serving a big plump roast of Spam, with a side of Macaroni and Cheese ŌĆō no, wait, hold the cheese. Dessert will be a NEW peppermint ŌĆō not one from the bottom of my purse coated with unknown particles. What IS that stuff that peppermints attract?
Shopping with a handful of coupons is way too challenging. By the time I get around to using them, theyŌĆÖve either expired or theyŌĆÖre stuck to the peppermints in the bottom of my purse.
One thing for sure. Keeping up with the Joneses ŌĆō at least the lady who lives in my house - is no longer a very big deal.

a love letter from erici am writing a letter to-day. i want to put jenny on paper, a girl with a heart like a lion and eyes like an elephant, big and brown and sad. i want to put the way i loved her into words, big and bold and sad. i want to write about the way she caught her hair between two fingers in the wind, the way she tilted her head to the right when she was thinking, the way she smiled with only half of her mouth. i wanted to write all of that, i want to write all of this:the way her hair smelled of lilacs and strawberry. the way her shoes shined like diamonds in the black of night. the way her skin yielded to my hands with the gentlest of pressures. the way she looked at me with soft eyes when she told me she loved me.it feels like my spine is dissipating, been pulled straight out of my back, with every second she leaves me behind.jenny told me she doesn't love me anymore to-day. i am writing a letter for the express purpose of lighting it on fire, hoping that the ash will catch wind and she wi
filth.my life is a dirty joke.not the kind that makes boys want to rub their seventh-grade sweaty hands over seventh-grade silly girls' boobs, the kind that feels like mud running through heavy fingers and nothing will ever be clean.no, it's summer and the road is tar and it is black and it is dripping through my teeth, that kind of dirty, dirty like unprotected sex with the cheapest, worn hooker found on every-street-corner. it's begging for filth. sewer-backup. oil slicks. tobacco spit. it's about as sick as a bare-handed autopsy. basically what i mean is that i'm the guy no one wants to touch because i give off the aura of walking death, disease, and destruction. i'm oozing-wound disgusting, bloody-piss disgusting, grim-reaper disgusting in the eyes of every man/woman/child in this fucked-up little city.really i'm just a dirty man with a dirty life. i like to pee in the water of hotel swimming pools. my biggest hope is to get drun

Rate This RecipeI always have an empty dish to bring home from dinner party when I bring this along. I like to throw in abit of oregano (dry/fresh - whatever you have on hand) along with a handful of diced up sun dried tomatoes (I use ones that aren't in the oil). I have used a combination of olives as well - and it turned out great. Make sure that you rinse your olives first tho' - it cuts down abit on the saltiness of the brine that they are stored in.
I admit I'm not a big olive fan, but my husband is, and even he thought it was just too olive-y. I made it per the recipe, then after tasting added a can of black beans and blended well. The colour stayed the same, but the taste was mellowed quite a bit. I will make this again...but will add the beans!
I added some roasted red pepper and artichoke hearts. I also added a bit more liquid due to the extra ingridents (red wine vinager). I took it to work at the cafè and we slathered it on everything (exspecially some tuna burgers).

Hello Everyone!! Happy almost Gobble Gobble Day. I hope you are all ready for the holiday but if you are looking for a last minute dish why not consider one of these Jillian's Kitchen Favorites?! Some of these will definitely be on our table this year, my sister is hosting for the first time ever and is adding some new recipes to our traditional table setting, I am excited to share those with you after the holiday and taste testing.
Thanksgiving Favorites
Stuffing / Dressing (I never knew what the difference was until I became a Food Network Fanatic… Stuffing is actually stuffed into the bird and cooked, Dressing is made as a side dish in a casserole, but the actual recipe can be identical!) This recipe is my families stuffing that has been made for decades in my family, it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without it. This year my sister will also be making a cranberry apple dressing which will hopefully be as delicious as it sounds so keep your eyes open for a potential new recipe soon!
Cream of Roasted Asparagus Soup – I love all things asparagus and with the cold weather the east coast has been experiencing this week a nice warm soup would do a body good!! If you aren't an asparagus fan check out Roasted Buttercup / Acorn Squash Soup either is bound to be a hit around the table.
Broccoli Casserole Another newbie to our table but not a newbie to our family will be the Broccoli Casserole, I absolutely love this dish, it is very reminiscent of Thanksgiving to me as it has all the veggies mixed together and would go good on top of a scoop of Mashed Potatoes! I love making a veggie mountain in my potatoes and as this dish has broccoli corn and cheese it is like having the best of a twice baked potato on your plate.
Apple Pie Now no Thanksgiving is complete without an Apple Pie! I love to take a pie crust and a small cookie cutter and make a fun top to mine, it looks impressive but is so simple! No worries about making the perfect top crust and you get to be a little artsy and play with your food! If you aren't into all that crust you can also try an Apple Crisp, maybe with some of those leftover cranberries thrown in!
Now….Leftovers…which lets be honest many people look forward to more than the actual meal!
I love when my mom makes a Turkey Noodle Soup the next day, all those leftover bits of turkey stuck to the bones? pull them off and make a chicken noodle soup but with turkey! if you have some extra stuffing, go ahead and put some globs of that in there too, it adds great flavor and texture.
If soup isn't your thing you can also make Roasted Turkey Salad – same as Roasted Chicken Salad, just use that turkey!
I also had a great sandwich this past weekend….sliced roasted turkey….thick slabs of brie….some spicy mustard all on a flatbread. OMG. It was delicious and for those big cranberry lovers I'm sure some of that gelatinous wonder would be a nice addition to the sandwich as well.
Lastly, Fried Mashed Potatoes, these are so delicious and great for breakfast the next morning, you can serve with eggs, on their own, or as another layer on that turkey sandwich!
