Reckon they have leftovers for several days like all the rest of us do?
I don't understand something - please advise:
Everybody complains about leftovers going on for days and days - yet the industry continues to breed, feed and sell these 16# - 20# birds. Am I seeing the need to develop the world's first miniature turkey - full grown, mature 6-8# birds. All the holiday flair without the week of leftovers!!! I am on my way to being a millionaire!
Crowder - line me up some celebrities and Alice get ready to have your own "infomercial" where you'll be cookin' up the new bird!

Maybe if they tasted better there wouldn;t be as many leftovers. The other day I saw people pawing through the frozen turkeys looking for the biggest one. Doesn;t make sense to me, but I'm not a tame turkey eater.

Nothing worse than not having a turkey big enough to serve everybody. The turkey size depends on how many people you have to feed. Besides it just wouldn't be right not to have leftovers, its a tradition. We never have throw any away.

So, does a tofurky actually look like a turkey? The shape and all? Or is it like a giant can of spam?
Boy, the tofurky giblet gravy sure sounds yummy

Just in case any of you are interested in cooking up a tofu turkey instead of a real one, here's a recipe. Still trying to figure out how they can even name it turkey. Somehow I don't see this being popular for Christmas. Our local butcher that sells farm fresh turkeys (the type that actual gobble) will be busy though!
I wouldn't think these people could bear to eat anything with the name turkey in it - tofu or not.
TOFU TURKEY
If you can't bear to eat a real bird but still want to eat a special meal, try this tofu "turkey" - it's even stuffed. Serves 10.
Things You'll Need
1 tbsp. black pepper
8 to 10 c. bread cubes
2 c. vegetable broth
2 c. diced celery
1 tbsp. celery seed
cranberry sauce
2 cloves minced garlic
2 tbsp. marjoram
1 c. diced mushrooms
1 c. diced onions
1/2 c. fresh minced parsley
2 tbsp. rosemary
1/4 c. sage
2 tbsp. savory
1/2 c. sesame oil
3/4 c. soy sauce
2 tbsp. thyme
5 lbs. firm tofu
Instructions
STEP 1: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. STEP 2: Mash tofu in a bowl. STEP 3: Line a colander with a clean, wet cheesecloth, add tofu and cover with overlapping cheesecloth. Put a plate on top of the covered tofu, put a 5-lb. weight on top of the plate, and set aside for one hour. STEP 4: Saute onions, celery, mushrooms and garlic in 2 tbsp. of the sesame oil, over medium heat. STEP 5: Add sage, marjoram, thyme, savory, rosemary, celery seed, pepper and 1/4 c. of the soy sauce. Cover and cook five minutes, or until vegetables are tender. STEP 6: Add bread cubes and parsley to vegetable mixture and mix well. Add broth to moisten. STEP 7: Mix the rest of the sesame oil and sauce in a small bowl. Set aside. STEP 8: Remove the weight that on top of the tofu, the plate, and the top layer of cheesecloth. STEP 9: Make a well in the tofu by hollowing it out from the middle, leaving a 1-inch "crust" all around the edges. Keep some tofu for the top. STEP 10: Baste the inside of the cavity with the sesame oil and soy sauce mixture. STEP 11: Pack the stuffing into the cavity, cover with the remaining tofu and pat down well. STEP 12: Put a greased baking sheet on top of the colander and flip the tofu over. STEP 13: Baste the outside of the tofu well and cover with foil. STEP 14: Bake for one hour, remove foil, baste again and bake one more hour, or until tofu is golden. STEP 15: Place tofu on a serving dish and garnish

"TOFU" : Also Known As:
1. Soft plaster of Paris. 2. Ballistic Gelatin 3. Inedible Leftovers mixed in blender with flour added for rigidity 4. Tan Colored Caulking Compound 5. Plumber's Putty 6. Modeling Clay.
TOFU said to absorb the flavors & odors of things it is mixed with (or other things that are nearby...).
Other things the "metrosexuals" eat: Quiche, Spinach Enchiladas, Vegetarian Dishes, Lobster (genetically engineered crawdeads), Shrimp (overgrown scorpions), Pasta with Fetta Cheese (no meat sauce), Bottled Water (tap water with a fancy label), there are others I can't think of at the moment...

Y'all are really missing out on some great moments being around the metros. My personal favorite is when one shows up or calls wanting to learn to work cattle. I will always hire these people if I have need for a warm body that's dumb as a stump. The best part is the noon meal. You sit down under a scruby tree and break out lunch. I like to serve a can of spam, a can of tomatos and a can of peaches. You would not believe the different colors you can see on their faces. Another golden opportunity comes up when one of them gets off to pee or open a gate. If ole Sorrely doesn't ground tie or if they leave the reins wrapped around the horn he's going to the trailer or the barn. Not in a run but just about four steps ahead of the greener.
I'm telling you they are more entertainment then a Roadrunner cartoon.Z

Had to look up some stuff on metrosexuals, why I do these things I don't know. :shock:
Supposedly David Beckham (English soccer player) is a definition of a metrosexual. Here's a little bit from the article I was reading:
In the interview with the Brit gay mag Attitude, this married father of two confirmed that he's straight, but as he admits, he's quite happy to be a gay icon; he likes to be admired, he says, and doesn't care whether the admiring is done by women or by men.
Brad Pitt is supposed to be another metrosexual icon. I knew there was a reason I never found him the least bit attractive. I have a real problem with a guy that takes longer getting ready to go out than I do. Or one that uses more make-up or mousse than me...

Earlier someone wrote about spam. It doesn't make you metrosexual not to like spam, but cornedbeef is where it's at. Now I am hungry and no place around here for 25 miles sells cornedbeef for four more hours.
