| HFS aw StYIE Beauty Inside Out: Tasty Turkey Treats What to do with your leftovers that doesn’t include a microwave By Stephanie Trembath, Life and Style Editor ‘side from being granted a three day long weekend, my favourite part of thanksgiving is the leftover food that fills the fridge for the following week. I despise cooking, and my misery shows in the finished product, but preparing leftovers from a fabulous turkey feast is simple and straight forward enough for even me to accomplish without too much despair. Tossing a bit of each dish ona plate and heating it up works well, but because everything is already prepared to perfection I enjoy playing around with different recipes to create a masterpiece I can show off to family members while announcing loudly that I can, indeed, cook. My favourite recipe to use for leftover turkey is the cheesy turkey melt. Simple, easy, and incredibly tasty, this recipe only takes 10- 20mins to prepare. To make the turkey melt (for roughly 4 people because you will want to show it off) you will need: -8 slices of whole wheat bread -Thinly sliced turkey -Shredded cheese; cheddar works, but pepper jack tastes the best -8 slices of cooked bacon -2 cans of cream of mushroom soup -% Cup of water -Mayonnaise What to do: -Toast the 8 slices of bread -Put the toast on a baking sheet after you have spread mayonnaise on the inside. -Place the. turkey slices on the toast - -Combine the mushroom:soup with water and heat in a pot -Ladle the mushroom -__- soup over the turkey _. .» and bread -Sprinkle the — _ Shredded cheddar//pepper jack cheese over top and _ add-two slices of bacon -Put the pan into a broiler, or onto a grill, until the cheese melts and sandwiches are hot A dessert recipe to-finish off your meal is the pumpkin pie brulee for which you will need any leftover pie, white sugar, and whipping cream. What to do: -Scoop the remaining pie out from the pie crust, and break the pie crust into bits to line the inside of coffee cups or small *. bowls. -Spoon the pumpkin pie filling into the coffee cups overtop of the crust pieces -You can scoop some whipped cream over the pie filling, or leave as is, and then sprinkle a tablespoon of sugar over each cup. -Place the cups into a pan that is filled with water on the bottom, and place the pan into a broiler until the tops of the pumpkin pie mixture is lightly browned. The pumpkin pie brulee is one of Michael Chiarello’s most popular thanksgiving recipes as it is delicious and takes less than five mins to make. Chiarello is the author of many cookbooks, a trained restaurateur, and personality on the Food Network. the many lingo’s of love They used to say that a way to a mans heart was through his stomach By Stephanie Trembath, Life and Style Editor “Ok, if you send your armies south I think we have a chance of an assault on the Northern line. No, no, that wont work, that area is weak, we need to break Australia first. Tell you what, I will check it later today, but make sure you stand strong on your end”. Boys Night: mainly consisting of beers, BC bud, discussions of babes, and excessive gambling, also includes.a talent many men think very highly of, which is the art of video gaming. Halo: Reach, NHL 11, Red Dead Redemption, Starcraft II, Civilization V, and Fifa 1], are just a few of the hottest new video games that have men.of all ages holed up in their bedrooms for days on end; leaving only to replenish their food supply and release wastes. Getting fully absorbed in “moving armies” or “winning the NHL” or “slaying dragons” or whatever, I don’t understand it and I certainly do not care, but it seems like understanding the world of video gaming is becoming more and more integral to understanding men. Usually I just tune out and nod politely when guys start up on their recent adventure or success in the gaming realm; honestly I think it’s about at significant as guys feel towards new shoes or makeup, but I figure its best to play nice and smile. More recently I found myself fully immersed in a conversation that I thought was about a current event. I was engaged and listening when somewhere along the line I realised that the situation being described was from a videogame and had no realistic significance what-so-ever. Irritated with having wasted a good ten minutes discussing something that didn’t even exist; I quickly ended the conversation and chose a new topic. Not wanting to admit that a) I actually had no clue what was being discussed, and b) didn’t exactly give a crap what went on in this virtual world, I vowed that from then on I would voice my opinion on how ridiculous I think videogames are. After realizing how extremely unsuccessful that tactic was (I get worse looks from guys when I admit I don’t take interest in videogames than. when I admit I don’t watch hockey) I began to wonder how important this hobby was; would a guy seriously break up with a girl if he didn’t support his obsession with videogames? Is video gaming like a sport, and, if you don’t go to one of - your boyfriends games, is that really rude? Guys suck it up and play along with what women say all the time; | am almost positive my male friends could care less about their girlfriends haircut, dance class, and dogs ability to rollover, but they feign interest for the sake of the relationship. Relationships aside, I began asking my single guy friends what they thought and the verdict is this; guys generally find girls way hotter and more attractive if they take interest in videogames. Put two decent looking girls side by side and the guy will choose the chick that enjoys playing videogames, even if it is something lame like Mario-Cart or Zelda. Of the guys I asked, who are twenty-something and attend university, each expressed that they think its “sexy” when girls have boyish hobbies. This should come as no surprise, clearly the relationships that succeed are the ones that share the same interests and passions, but I was shocked to hear that a video game could be the one qualifying factor. So ladies, it’s the new lingo of love apparently. Brush up on your remote-controlling skills, get ready to sit for extended periods of time munching on cold pizza and flat coke, and be prepared to “find the legendary ending”. Look on the bright side; at least we aren’t expected to cook anymore.
