Guest guest Posted December 30, 2002 Report Share Posted December 30, 2002 Lelia, Abobora !!!!! like in Portuguese (same letters) (lololololo) Next time i will writing in portuguese (lolololo) Alvaro Nunes " Lelia Oster " OurMyositis > s.com> cc: Subject: Alvaro--food 28-12-2002 03:23 Please respond to OurMyositis Your food sounds good--especially all those cakes etc. A lot of Americans make pumpkin pie. We make it from a vegetable that grows on vines. I buy it already in a can and add milk, eggs, cinnamon/nutmeg/cloves/ginger spices and sugar (of course) then put it in a pan with a crust made of flour, salt, oil, milk and rolled out to fit the pan and bake it. This year I made an apple pie. I think maybe your Abobora are pumpkins from your description of the eyes/nose/mouth at what we call Hallowe'en and other parts of the world call Day of the Dead--Nov 1 and Hallowe'en is the night before (All Hallow's Eve). My table had on it: mashed potatoes, turkey and dressing made from bread and seasonings, apricot flavored sweet potatoes (yams), cranberry sauce, bread rolls, blueberry jam and butter, green beans with mushrooms and pimentos, apple pie, chocolate chip cookies, cranberry/date bars, carrot and celery sticks. No olives--I forgot to buy them!!! We also had raspberry/cranberry juice with raspberry sherbet and gingerale in it. All this food is fairly easy to make if you open cans and use frozen roll dough!! How do you fry the Abobora? have fun at the beach!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 1, 2003 Report Share Posted January 1, 2003 Your meal sounds delish, Lelia. I always enjoy hearing of what others have on their tables during big holidays and it never ceases to amaze me how different (and yet the same) our tastes are. I'm making a New Years day dinner today with lots of help from hubby and boxes. Hubby was given a small turkey for a Christmas bonus (along w/ a ham but we'll save that for another time), so hubby put that in the oven earlier while I was still feeling poorly. We'll have mashed potatoes, homemade gravy, stove-top dressing (I made the real stuff for Christmas supper at my Aunt's) and carrots and I bought some pre-made rolls. And of course cranberry jelly shaped like the can. Wish I would have gotten a pie of some sort, but perhaps I'll send Kirk down to the convenience store for something. Sometimes they have pretty good sweets there. Dawn Lelia Oster wrote: > Your food sounds good--especially all those cakes etc. A lot of Americans > make pumpkin pie.
