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.

Interesting recipe - I've never tried anything like that before but I might give this a go.
ReplyDeleteI have always favored rum and preparing this could get interesting...
I have to wonder about the first person to see a turkey and think - wow, that looks good to eat.
ReplyDeleteI am that person. I can see through the plumage to the fat breast-meat and succulent drumsticks. Mmmmmmm...
ReplyDeleteThats some nice looking trukey.
ReplyDeleteYummy, pass me the dark meat
As long as someone else deals with the feathers and the nasty deed itself!
ReplyDeleteOcto, yes, 'tis true that birds are feathered latter-day dinos, much underappreciated in these Tertiary times. Thanks for your fine veggie recipe! Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteThis Mr. Turkey got pardoned. These were not: CNN's top ten political turkey list.
