I need a good turkey recipie!

or rec.food.cooking

(Are you and Julie Jenkins acquainted? She just got burned here for posting a cookie recipe made from a cake mix. She's at cc.usu.edu, too.)

I don't know why you characterize what "happened" in such negative terms. Someone posted a recipe and asked for comments. No one attacked her personally nor did anyone say that she was out of line. Sometimes metadiscussions develop, i.e., thread drift. In this case the discussion drifted from the recipe to baking mixes and why people use them. Maybe I didn't see the part where she got burned, but I don't recall anything of the sort happening.

I don'y know... If it was I who received the responses she did, I would have felt somewhat singed, if not quite violently flamed. It's about "baking", not necessarily completely from scratch!

Blah blah blah, anyone gonna answer her question?

"finndo" blahhhhhed:

Sho' nuff did, boss! Barb answered it when she replied:

Happy now, boss?

Rec.food.recipes is moderated. You won't get any troublesome opinions over there, even if you ask for them like the OP did concerning her "amazing" cookies.

Before my daughter went on Weight Watchers, I would crush up about a whole clove of garlic, mix it with olive oil and slather that all over the turkey - inside and out. Then I poured some orange juice in the bottom of the baking pan, added a little soy sauce to that and bake it with a couple of "Kosher" salt wells on the side - basting from time to time and covering it with a tin-foil tent (not closed up, just a sheet bent in the middle and let rest on the top) for the last 30 minutes or so. Came out absolutely fantastic.

I stuff my turkey pretty simply. I toast old bread and cut it into cubes. I fry up onions, celery, red peppers, cubes of sweet potatoes and several cloves of garlic. Then I mix the vegetables with the bread cubes, add a few eggs, a little orange juice for moisture and spice with some savory and then stuff it. Any extra stuffing I put in a covered oven-proof bowl anywhere I can find to put in the oven. Some people like (read: my mother liked) to add the giblets from the turkey when frying the vegetables, but I never do since I don't like liver.

If you like the orange bit, you can slice up oranges very thinly and put them both inside the turkey and on top.

Hi, I've just started looking at discuss groups, I'm nervous about posting here after reading the pumpkin cookie mess, I would have felt very unwelcome, IS THIS A PRIVATE GROUP?

Turkey, if this is your 1st time, I would suggest a reynolds oven cooking bag. There a recipes & detailed instructions that come with the bag. Also it takes a few days to thaw a frozen turkey, in refrigerator is recommended, time depends on size. And the important but dreaded washing the turkey, after its thawed, before you cook it you have to wash it, INSIDE, they sometimes leave behind stuff that you don't want to eat, in the little spaces between back bones. GOOD LUCK & HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Which part of the "pumpkin cookie mess" made you nervous? Was it the part where people gave their opinions after the OP asked for opinions? Did you think that people should only post messages that are in agreement with the OP in each thread? For instance, if I posted a recipe for cheesecake that included cabbage and peanut butter and called it "amazing cabbage and peanut butter cheesecake," would it be unacceptable for people to say they though the recipe was nasty?

What exactly is a "private group?"

Are you aware that there is a MODERATED newsgroup called "rec.food.recipes?" You can request recipes and submit recipes. Someone screens all the messages and discards everything else. You can find the online, searchable archives of that group here:

and I should point out that posting HTML/image/audio files to anon-binary newsgroup is a violation of netiquette. No, I'm not the postingpolice, but just someone pointing out reality. Posting from a webtv addressis like waving a red flag on Usenet. That you jumped into a newsgroup withyour HTML and criticism of the group's culture isn't considered a good wayto introduce yourself. If you want to post HTML, it's up to you just as youcan wear a bathrobe to church if you want. Welcome to the group, Mable!

Please post.

I'll try to find one that uses cake mix and Coolwhip.

... and instant pudding.

Can i request a no-bake recipe, while we're at it?

2 packages (3 ounces each) ladyfingers 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese 2 cups milk

1 can sweetened condensed milk

2 boxes instant pudding

1 cup peanut butter

1 6oz package of shredded red cabbage

2 packages (11.2 ounces each) no-bake cheesecake mix

1 container (8 ounces) frozen whipped topping, thawed

Miniature marshmallows, crushed Oreos, and M&M candies, additional whipped topping

Line bottom and side of 9 x 3-inch springform pan with ladyfinger halves, split sides up; set aside. In large mixer bowl beat cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Add 1 cup of the milk, beating well. Blend in remaining milk, condensed milk, pudding mix, peanut butter, and cheesecake filling mixes. (Reserve crust mixes for other use.) Fold in whipped topping and cabbage. Spoon into ladyfinger-lined pan. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. Remove side of pan just before serving. Top with marshmallow, cookie crumbs, and candy pieces and a large dollop of Coolwhip.

Cabbage? In a refrigerator cake? Are you SURE?

It's a joke. You will see the context if you read the beginning of the thread.

That's gotta be wrong. Anyone knows that the red cabbage will bleed all over. ;o} Janet

But wait. What if I was a beginner? What if that was the first time I posted. You can't disagree lest you might make someone nervous - even scared.

Indeed. It was very thoughtless of me. Janet
