I've had cheese on apple pie, not Cheez Whiz. My preference is ice cream, but I think I would stick with the cheese over the Cheez Whiz.

As do I, but there something wonderfully tasty and gooey about Kraft slices when they are grilled on a bun or in a sandwich.

For a hamburger I prefer the regular cheese slices. For grilled cheese, the processed ones. We tend to have one or the other in the house though, not both.
 
Cheez whiz with bread and butter pickles on a hotdog.

Cheez whiz on white English muffins

Cheez whiz on celery

We don't keep it in the house but I do love it as a "treat". And it does contain cheese but doesn't meet the new standards to be called cheese.

It raises an interesting question though - we are always told PB, tuna, pasta, pasta sauce, etc but I wonder when the last time was that someone asked participants as to preferences.

Dislike ketchup intensely but kimchi with a grilled cheese sandwich might just be worth a try.

Ketchup isn't a favorite of mine. Even on fries I prefer either salt & vinegar or else mayo. Still, to my taste ketchup is the perfect condiment on grilled cheese, and scrambled eggs.
 
I mostly use extra old Cheddar and imports - British, French, Dutch etc. (I LOVE cheese). Can't remember the last time I had any Cheez Whiz or a slice of that salty yellow plastic cheese like substance.

Did go to a church fall supper recently - turkey and extras. Very good - though my partner didn't think the pies were as good as other times - less choices - less tasty, he said.
 
I received a wonderful note from one of my co-op students from many years ago. He was great, but he reminded me of something that I shared with him a long time ago..."if you can't cry, you might as well laugh". Now, I am sure it isn't a direct quote, but...it was about when we have a problem we have a choice in how to respond. he took heart to much of that teaching, and has had a successful career in our field.

I am reminded of how we model for those who are younger than us, or look to us for guidance in all that we do. We do have choices. Sometimes it isn't easy, and yes, crying is good, as is hitting a pillow or chopping wood, but, getting through it is important.
 
Chemguy and I will be hosting Thanksgiving for the first time. We have done it just the 2 of us, but we don't bother roasting a turkey.

Is a 12 lbs turkey reasonable for 6 people? I do want leftovers, and will send some with others too. I see 1-1.5 lbs/person as the rule of thumb but I'm also thinking a smaller turkey has less meat per pound...
I probably should have paid more attention to the size in the past!
 
Not sure what we'll be doing for Thanksgiving this year. Turkey's out - so maybe I'll make a nice maple salmon instead.

Will you have relatives over who you don't live with at times?

Not that I know of right now ChemGal - but doubtful. We may have friends over - we think about who might be alone on Thanksgiving and we invite 3-4 of them. We do that in early October.

Chemgal, if I were doing Thanksgiving dinner for 6, wanted to send home leftovers, and have some, I think I'd be looking at about the 15 pound range.

Thanks! That's quite a bit more than searching suggests, which is why I came here!

I guess I should re-state - "times AND TASTEBUDS change".

When I was a kid, cheese was not a plentiful thing - there were not many types available, and it was quite expensive. It was doled out in small quantities - usually with a bowl of soup & a few crackers for lunch. I do remember that it often used to go mouldy on the outside - my mom would slice all that off & we'd continue eating ... today, I think that's frowned upon.

Definitely cheez whiz with celery pinga!! And velveta for 'cheese dreams' at Sunday lunch. :)

When I was growing up the storekeeeper had a big wheel of cheese wrapped in gauze on the counter. When someone asked for it, he would unwrap some of the gauze, shave off a layer of mould and cut off a wedge, replace the gauze, wrap the wedge in brown paper tied with a string and sell it to the customer.
 
By the way - the jigsaw puzzle is now complete! Presently on display on the coffee table waiting for Grandson's next visit. Shortly after that we will take it apart and donate it somewhere so someone else can be driven up the walls by too many pieces in shades of white, grey and black.
(The cardinals and kittens were fun to put together - the snow covered evergreen bows against a dull background less so.)
