Texas Progressive Alliance Round-Up With Links To Texas-Themed Thanksgiving Recipes

Here is the weekly round-up of the Texas Progressive Alliance. The Texas Progressive Alliance is a confederation of the best political bloggers in Texas.

With the round-up this week are links to some Texas-specific Thanksgiving recipes. With these links, you can make up a Texas Thanksgiving menu for you and yours—Wherever you live!

(Above—Texans enjoy celebrating Thanksgiving. I’m sure Disqo Disco at the Fallout Lounge in Dallas is a hopping place.)

Here is a Tex-Mex Thanksgiving lineup from the Dallas Morning News.

Southwest Flair Magazine offers up a so-called Texas-sized Thanksgiving menu. As you might suspect, this menu is quite inclusive.

Texas Cooking.com tells you how to cook a turkey. I imagine that one would cook a turkey much the same way everywhere, but maybe there is a special Texas touch. If so, here is your chance to learn this touch.

Texas Cooking.com also has instructions for a stuffing made with Texas oysters. Regular readers of this blog will know that the Texas coast is my favorite part of the state. I would indeed enjoy some oyster stuffing.

I suppose a proper Texas Thanksgiving would offer up a pecan pie. I have maybe one or two slices of pecan pie each year. But I’m not a native. Maybe native Texans eat pecan pie with every meal. A blog called Homesick Texan has a pecan pie recipe.

There you have it folks–All you need to know for a fine Texas Thanksgiving.
