Michigan football players at my Thanksgiving table

pot roast in crock pot=YUM. throw in some potatoes/carrots/onions too.

to freestyle the blessing.

Do you have any kids? That should probably do the trick

you going to play a touch football game after the meal?  

thats awesome...our family always does a honey glazed ham...pretty good i must say.

A couple big pans of lasagna.  I am assuming those aren't side dishes?  It is always a cool thing when something more non-traditional shows up on the thanksgiving table. Went to Thanksgiving at a Mexican household in Texas a few years ago.  It was the best.

Enjoy those guys and thank them for their efforts for the University and fans. Lots of work to do what they do.

You serving chocolate covered buckeyes?

So your saying if we bring a dish we can come?

dam double post, try to make some use out of it

Leg(s) of lamb would be perfect, it goes really well with the sweet side dishes of Thanksgiving.

GERG was doing with the stuffed animal last Saturday.

As a former professional pastry chef and current avid home cook, I would KILL to cook for Michigan football players. I would make pulled pork sandwiches (smoke a pork shoulder on the grill all day) or brisket in the same way, maybe a smoked pork loin, braised short ribs, or a braised brisket, also for sandwiches or sliders. 

And ask them for every can of Whoop Azz in the jomph, y'all.

you got the meat covered, suggest something from the fish family like sauteed garlic shrimp or a seafood casserole of some kind. 

if it has to be meat, how about a nice eye of the round marinated overnight in the fridge and then slow-cooked on the barby.

have fun - i'll be on the beach in sunny ft lauderdale!

GO BLUE!

Go to Gordon Food Service and purchase the pre-cooked Prime Rib, it is second to none, easy to prepare, you just heat it up at 225 for a few hours and you will never have a better Prime Rib at a top restaurant!  Might hit you in the pocket book a bit but it's awesome!

Dirty mash is best mash.

Here are some ideas for activities/foods to serve at your dinner (mostly for one hulk in particular):

Sprains

Acupressure

For an ankle sprain, press point GB 40, situated in the large hollow directly in front of the outer anklebone, says Michael Reed Gach, Ph.D., director of the Acupressure Institute in Berkeley, California, and author of Acupressure?s Potent Points. (To help locate the point, refer to the illustration on page 566.) He says to hold the point on the injured ankle for two minutes: For the first minute, alternate between light and firm pressure, and for the second minute, hold the point with a very light touch. Dr. Gach recommends using this remedy at least twice a day to help heal a sprain. To strengthen your ankle and prevent future injury, press one or both GB 40 points daily, he adds.

Ayurveda

Salt can relieve the swelling that comes with a sprain, says Vasant Lad, B.A.M.S., M.A.Sc., director of the Ayurvedic Institute in Albuquerque, New Mexico. He suggests making a paste of one part salt and two parts turmeric, mixed with enough water to get the right consistency. Apply this paste to the injured area once a day, he says, letting it set for 20 minutes to an hour. He advises covering the paste with cotton flannel or muslin to keep it from rubbing off and to protect your clothing, since turmeric stains. Any skin discoloration from the turmeric should wash off in about two weeks, he adds.

Food Therapy

Foods high in vitamin C help mend collagen, the supportive protein in skin, bones, tendons and cartilage that can become damaged in a sprain, says Julian Whitaker, M.D., founder and president of the Whitaker Wellness Center in Newport Beach, California. For faster relief

, Dr. Whitaker recommends eating more vitamin C?rich foods such as oranges, grapefruit, strawberries and peppers. (For other food sources of vitamin C, see ?Getting What You Need? on page 142.)

Herbal Therapy

The dried flower heads of the Arnica plant contain chemical compounds that help heal sprains and relieve muscle pain, according to Varro E. Tyler, Ph.D., professor of pharmacognosy at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana. Look for Arnica tincture, cream or ointment in most health food stores. Apply directly to the injured area as recommended on the label.

Homeopathy

In the first 24 hours after a sprain, take a dose of Arnica 6C to help the pain subside, says Stephen Messer, N.D., dean of the National Center for Homeopathy?s summer school and a naturopathic physician in Eugene, Oregon. If that doesn?t seem to help and your sprain is less painful if you keep the joint moving rather than immobilized, Dr. Messer suggests trying a dose of Rhus toxicodendron 6C. If neither of these remedies works, he says to try a dose of Ruta graveolens 6C. Take any of these remedies as needed, but no more than every two hours, he says.

All of these remedies are available in many health food stores. To purchase the remedies by mail, refer to the resource list on page 637.

Hydrotherapy

A frozen bandage is a great way to ease the pain and swelling, says Agatha Thrash, M.D., a medical pathologist and co-founder and co-director of Uchee Pines Institute, a natural healing center in Seale, Alabama. Dip a hand towel in very cold water, squeeze it out, place it in a plastic bag and store it in the freezer over a piece of cardboard, so the towel freezes flat. To use, remove the plastic and lay the bandage over the sprain. The rigid bandage will quickly become soft as it?s warmed by your body heat. Replace with a fresh bandage when the towel feels warm. Dr. Thrash recommends 20-minute sessions of this treatment two to four times a day for a week or until symptoms subside.

Massage

You can reduce swelling in a sprained joint with a rake massage, says Elliot Greene, past president of the American Massage Therapy Association. Start by placing your hands on either side of the sprained joint. If the joint is on the arm, you?ll be able to use only one hand?the one on the other arm. Spread your fingers about a half-inch apart. Place the fingertips on the part of the joint that is farthest from the heart. If you?re working on your knee, for example, place the fingertips just below the knee, closest to your ankle.

Now pull the fingertips over the joint, applying light pressure. ?It?s just like you were running a rake lightly across the joint,? Greene says. When you go past the top of the joint a few inches, lift your hands and place them back at the starting point. You can do this massage for about five minutes at a time, several times a day, until the sprain has healed. But be sure to wait 24 to 48 hours after the sprain has occurred before you start using this massage.

Reflexology

To deal with a sprain, work the reflex points on the hands or feet that correspond to the injured area, says St. Petersburg, Florida, reflexologist Dwight Byers, author of Better Health with Foot Reflexology. If you have a sprained knee, for example, try working the knee reflex points on your feet, he says.
