What’s new?

  • Red Rooster this week

    Seasons greetings from Don’t Spook the Horse Headquarters (henceforth known as HorseQuarters)!

    If you’re like us, you’re trying to figure out what to do with way too much leftover Thanksgiving turkey. You could do like past years and just eat turkey sandwiches until you drop, but why not be a trendsetter?

    We at HorseQuarters have you covered! Here’s our proven recipe for… *drum roll*

    TURKEY IN ASPIC (MMMmmmm!)

    • all your turkey leavings, including any giblets, head, feet, feathers, etc.
    • 2 carrots, cut in large chunks
    • 3 celery stalks, cut in large chunks
    • 2 large white onions, quartered
    • 1 head of garlic, halved, plus 4 cloves, minced to later enhance the flavor of the aspic
    • 4 teaspoons of kosher salt or more to taste

    1. Combine all ingredients in a large (2+ quart) blender. Place lid tightly. You may wish to apply your full weight to ensure this.
    2. Set to “puree” for approx. 3 hours.
    3. Heat large, dry saucepan on high until non-stick vapors endanger your family, approx. 1 hour.
    4. Crouch to where your face is at pan level for accurate observation. Dump contents of blender into glowing pan.
    5. Cook on high uncovered for 2.5 hours while applying gauze to eyes.
    6. Spray entire area liberally with fire extinguisher (class ABC preferred).
    7. Pour/scrape pan contents into jello mold. Pick a mold that’s ironic, like a pig. Cover with plastic wrap and place in freezer for 4 days.
    8. Remove from freezer. Open kitchen window and toss into yard for the raccoons.

    Voilà! No more leftovers.

    Also, Don’t Spook the Horse will be playing LIVE this coming Wednesday at the Red Rooster from 7-9:30 pm. Yeah sure, it’s cold, but we’re gonna warm the place up! Stop on out for great food, drinks, staff… and us.
