Kosher Dosher...“I am a culinary Heretic"

This is my all-time favorite dressing I make just about every year. I've tried many types, and I keep going back to this one. This is by no means an exact recipe because you can adjust the percentages of the ingredients to suit what you want, and to be perfectly honest, I never follow a recipe. And I never follow mine either. Why I am writing this one down if it changes from year to year? As a memory jogger and for my kids.   This pseudo recipe makes two huge trays. Ingredients 24-Oz of Black Wild Rice 2-Large Loaves of French Bread or something similar.  3 lbs of Chicken Sausage  3- Very Large of Onions 4- cloves of garlic (or more) 1- Bunch Celery 2- Large Carrots 2-Bunches of Green Onion 1- Huge Bunch of Italian Parsley A huge Bunch of Sage and Thyme  A tiny Bunch of Rosemary  2- Cups of Toasted Pinenuts 2- Cups of Dried Cranberries (Craisins) Turkey Stock 6-8 Eggs  About 1/2 of heavy cream Poultry Seasoning A plethora of Seasonings I usually process this a day or two ahead of p

Thanksgiving 2020..... A brief discussion on Turkeys or rather, let's talk Turkey.  Turkey!!! I've tried them all, and guess what? Organic, Non-Organic, it does not make a difference in flavor or texture.  What does Federal Law say about Turkeys and Poultry?    I'll give you a short synopsis and highlight what I think most people want to know. I love it when people say they bought an Organic Bird because no hormones were used. Guess what, folks, Hormones are not allowed in raising poultry ("Federal regulations do not permit the use of hormones in poultry." ) So what are you paying for? I'll get to that in a sec.  Here is an excellent read about Hormones and poultry.   So why all the Confusion?    So you want to buy Organic? Knock yourself out. I could not tell the difference in taste or texture between the .99¢ and the $2.99 Turkeys. To be called Organic, they need to meet specific requirements. Organic does not mean Free-Range or Free-Roaming. Buyer beware!
