HAPPY THANKSGIVING!























My fellow creatures above and below the waves, meet Mr. Turkey. Inasmuch as Mr. Turkey is one of bloggingdino’s great, great, great grand-descendents, Mr. Turkey is not dinner but an honored guest. That is why we are eating vegetarian tonight … a full course meal of ferns, cycads, sea grass, and 8pus’s very own lokshen kugel, recipe below:

1/2 lb of egg noodles (medium)
8 cups boiling water
1-teaspoon salt

4 tablespoons sugar
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup orange juice (I also add dark rum depending on how tipsy I am)
6 tablespoons margarine
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup almonds or pecans, chopped
1/2 cup candied citrus peel (orange or citron or mixed)
dash of ginger (well, maybe 1/2 teaspoon)
dash of cinnamon (well, make that 1/2 teaspoon)

Boil the noodles in water with salt. Mix the beaten eggs and orange juice, then add remaining ingredients. Pour mixture over the still hot noodles and mix well (note: Hot noodles will melt the margarine making the job easier). Transfer to a well-buttered bread pan and bake in a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes (until top is golden). Cool and serve.

  1. Interesting recipe - I've never tried anything like that before but I might give this a go.
    I have always favored rum and preparing this could get interesting...

  6. Octo, yes, 'tis true that birds are feathered latter-day dinos, much underappreciated in these Tertiary times. Thanks for your fine veggie recipe! Happy Thanksgiving!
