Kathy’s Dad’s Turkey

Stuff the bird with celery and onions
Stick your hand between the skin and breast and use oregano and rosemary with butter and salt and pepper
Then salt and pepper the outside of the bird
Cook on smoker for many hours
Remove celery and onions before serving, they’re just aromatics

Brian’s Dad’s Mashed Potatoes

Three pounds of yukon gold potatoes, cubed, some small and some large
Boil in unsalted water
Drain and return to pot for mashing or move to mixer or blender
Six tablespoons of butter
Three tablespoons of sour cream
Add milk until you get the right consistency, a little at a time
Salt and pepper to taste
Secret ingredient is love

Warm Escarole Vinaigrette

1 head of escarole 4 Tablespoons olive oil 1 shallot, peeled and coarsely chopped 1 lemon 1 tablespoon dijon mustard 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar Parmigiano reggiano (optional)

Cut out the core of the escarole. Separate the leaves, wash well, and allow to dry. Tear leaves into medium size pieces. Not too small.
Make the vinagrette by whisking together 3 tablespoons olive oil, vinegar and dijon mustard. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat. Add shallot and sauté for 1 minute, until slightly softened and translucent. Add escarole and sauté for 2-3 minutes longer. The leaves shouldn’t be completely soft, but should have some slight crunch left.
Add the vinaigrette slowly, and don’t overdo it. The leaves should be coated like a salad, not swimming in oil.
Remove from the pan and serve immediately. Optional: a light sprinkling of good parmigiano reggiano if desired

Tiff’s Mom’s Stuffing

6 loaves of crappy white bread 6 stalks of celery 2 large yellow onions 4 Jones sausage rolls Chicken stock

Sautee sausage. Get all cooked up. Put in bowl grease and all. Season with salt and pepper.
Dice onions and celery. Sautee in vegetable oil. Dump into bowl.
Break up bread into bowl.
Squirt chicken stock into stuff add bread add stock add bread add stock… not too much but not too dry.
Cook 350 degrees for 45 minutes or an hour.

Stand above the icy river waters and ponder what life would be without 1946’s holiday classic, “It’s a Wonderful Life.” Would you be shocked to discover that not everyone likes it? In this episode we’ve got two fans of the film to tell us why it’s great, and a detractor who is attempting to crash this car into the town’s oldest tree. What are the pros and cons of one of the definitive Christmas movies of all time?

Jason lived through the 90s and yet somehow never saw the biggest comedy of the decade, “Home Alone.” That’s getting remedied right now, as Myke turns the tables!
