Happy Thanksgiving: This Year The Turkey Is Stuffed With Voice Biometrics

By Adam B. on November 26, 2008

turkeyWe at Speech Tech Blog wish you and yours a Happy Thanksgiving.

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, we offer you a humble gift: The Talking Turkey Plush Toy.  Just squeeze this this little fellow and hear him say “gobble, gobble, gobble” which, in Turkey-Language, translates roughly to “help, don’t kill me, please.”

And of course it just wouldn’t be Thanksgiving at Speech Technology without an extra helping of my editor’s famous IVRice Pudding, the recipe for which can be found below:

IVRice Pudding Recipe

Ingredients
* 2 1/2 cups (600 ml) of whole milk
* 1/3 cup (66 grams) of long or short grain white rice
* 1/8 teaspoon salt
* 1 egg
* 1/4 cup (50 grams) dark brown sugar
* 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract
* 1/4 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
* 1/3 cup (40 grams) raisins

Method
1. In a medium heavy bottomed saucepan, combine milk, rice and salt and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together egg and brown sugar until well mixed. Add a half cup of the rice mixture – a tablespoon at a time – beating to incorporate.
3. Add egg mixture back into the saucepan of rice and milk and stir, on low heat, for 10 minutes or so, until thickened. Be careful not to have the mixture come to a boil at this point. Stir in the vanilla. Remove from heat and stir in the raisins and cinnamon.

Serve warm or cold.  Serves 2-3.

Next Thanksgiving: I promise to reveal the secret recipe for Nuance’s Mouthwatering Cornbread STTuffing!

We’ll see you on Monday!  Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!
