This homemade soup is to die for. My youngest son always looked forward to the day AFTER Thanksgiving - anticipating this turkey recipe. Written recipe follows. The musical score is from the Prelinger Archives DreamTalkers "Twilight In Your Eyes". Creative Commons License: Open Source Audio. Recipe: Broth from turkey water for pot 3 14 ounch cans chicken broth (approx) for reconstituting. I prefer adding chicken broth rather than more water - (about 3 1/2 C or as needed) 1 lbs turkey (approx) meat from turkey carcass 1 C ea (I actually "eyeball it") of diced green onions, minced carrots, & diced mushrooms 1 C cream or half-n-half (or milk, etc) 2 large dollops of sour cream SW Spice (or chili powder, chipolte') and salt & pepper to taste Directions: Add water to large pot and add turkey carcass (bones and all) to pot. Simmer until meat falls from bone and broth forms. Cool to handle. Debone remaining meat from turkey. Return turkey broth deboned meat to stove and continue simmering adding chicken broth to reconstitute. Add vegetables and spices. Spoon in cream and sour cream. Simmer until tender and stir to combine. Before serving, add homemade noodles (see below) and cook 3 minutes more. HOMEMADE EGG NOODLES 4 whole eggs 1 teaspoon salt 2 cups flour Mix together the eggs, salt and flour until you have a stiff dough. I divide the dough in half and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Roll out thin like a piecrust. Flour generously and roll up like a cinnamon roll. Slice off each roll (about 1/4" thick) with floured knife and drop into broth a few at a time to avoid clumping and stir.

This was my first attempt at animation using iClone by Reallusion. I'm having fun but I still have a LOT to learn ;) Two of the characters were downloaded from the generous people at CoolClones from their Friday Freebies, of which I have modified for this little project.

November 11, 2007 - On this Veterans Day I call out an S.O.S. which means to Support Our Soldiers. Our brave soldiers have paid the ultimate price and continue to fight for our freedoms. May God Bless each and every one. This tribute falls short of expressing what I feel for our Veterans from today and yesteryear - so suffice it to say, "I love you." "There's An Eagle" sung by Steve Vaus. Lyrics: We are not strangers, To a battle We know that freedom, Has a cost We may be bloodied, But we’re unbroken Despite the darkness, We are not lost For there’s an eagle, high above the ashes Close by the flag we’re fighting for There’s a brave new spirit in America United forevermore We turn to God, For strength and comfort To hold us closer, Than we’ve ever been We pray for guidance, Through the tempest Then we see, A sign from him There’s an eagle, high above the ashes Close by the flag we’re fighting for There’s a brave new spirit in America United forevermore The eagle’s soaring higher Than he ever did before As he leads our fallen heroes Straight through heaven’s door There’s an eagle, high above the ashes Close by the flag we’re fighting for There’s a brave new spirit in America United forevermore

I remember where I was that day, safe and warm right before everything changed. Then I watched in horror what my countrymen were going through. I even remember every detail of 9/10/2001 - before I was personally changed forever. We must never forget.

Today is August 19 - 3 years to the day my mother passed away. In her honour I prepared for my family (and you) one of her dishes, corned beef hash. This is a family favorite. Recipe: 6-8 medium red potatoes, chopped 1 very large sweet onion, chopped 1 can corned beef hash salt & pepper to taste SW spice - optional (or chili power, chipolte, etc) light flavored olive oil pat of butter Clean and cube potatoes and sweet onion uniformly in size; place in pan and drizzle light tasting olive oil w/pat of butter and mix it up. Saute' on medium to low until the potatoes are crisp on the outside and fork tender on the inside, and the onion translucent, stirring often. Add corned beef and mix, add spices to taste and adjust spices if needed. Serve mounded on a plate topped wih an egg cooked to your liking. I prefer the yolk running so it will drizzle with the potatoes and onions. The musical score is by Gerald Pink, "Celtic Meditation" under the 2007 Creative Commons licensing.

Hank Plow is one of my favorite Arizona singin' cowboys. He is an extremely talented, gifted and spiritual man. "Feed My Soul" was written, produced and performed by Hank Plow at Deluvian Records in Tempe, Arizona. I chose this song because as I was beginning to sketch him and listen to his music, I couldn't sit down to sketch! You may notice I was dancing much of the time I sketched him! I LOVE this song. He does some amazing music with Native Americans too. Be sure and check out his channel. You never know what railroad tips he'll offer, but I caution you before you accept a cup of his bio-hazard coffee.

This is a wonderful easy and refreshing recipe. I like to use my electric meat grinder (a Waring Pro) for the texture it gives this dish. the recipe used in this video is: 1 - 2# block of good quality mild cheddar cheese 8 ounces pimento (I like Rolands whole pimentos, then I give them a rough cut) 1/4 C (approx) mayonnaise - just for creaminess. I also added a splash of the pimento juice while grinding. Directions: Cut the cheese into chute size pieces and give the pimento a rough cut (if you used whole). Alternate feeding the chute with cheese and pimento. I begin and end with cheese, then add just enough mayo for a creamy texture - but not overbearing. You don't want the mayo to override the flavors. Serve atop crackers or stuff celery - use your imagination. It's good on top of dry toast, too. This is excellent to serve at parties. My kids like to swipe the cheesespread and make sandwiches out of them! Enjoy! Here's a definition, "pimiento; pimento A large, red, heart-shaped sweet pepper that measures 3 to 4 inches long and 2 to 3 inches wide. The flesh of the pimiento (the Spanish word for "pepper") is sweet, succulent and more aromatic than that of the red bell pepper... Pimientos are the familiar red stuffing found in green olives."

This is my very first food video! This recipe is in response to samsarajade's own sausage rolls! Mine are a little different and have a southwestern twist. Recipe follows (of course, I quadruple it for a bunch o' hungries): 1 pkg refrigerated crescent rolls (8 oz) 1/2 pound bulk sausage (I like Jimmy Dean) 2 stalks green onion, chopped thinly SW spice to taste (or use chili powder) handful shredded cheddar cheese egg wash Unroll dough on lightly floured surface pressing seams and perforations together (or as best possible - a few holes looks kinda cool). Add ingredients and roll up from long side; cut into 1/2 to 1 " slices; Place cut side up in ungreased baking pan, brush on eggwash and bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 16 mins or until golden brown.
