M0mmy - Happy Birthday. Sounds like a ton of food. My mother used to make a hash brown casserole. I particularly like lemon meringue pie. I will be making Godiva chocolate pudding.
-
Happy Thanksgiving.
-
M0mmy, happy birthday!
OH DROOL on godiva-anything!
I'll be pulling out the Jalisco Birria at around 4. House smells great. No dessert unless we want ice cream.
-
Thanks for the birthday wishes. Hubby pulled a sneaky on me when he went out to get sour cream as we ran out from making he tacos earlier this week. He came home not only with the sour cream but a small cake for my birthday
-
Missed seeing that. Happy Birthday.
-
So stuffed!
-
Happy Birthday mommy! Your dinner sounds delish - especially the pie - my favorite!
Happy Thanksgiving - I am grateful for all of you! Here is our dinner, excessive definitely. Lol! It's all about the leftovers.
-
ty for the birthday wishes

-
Happy Birthday! Love the cake.
Yummy Thanksgiving meals
-
Special, that’s looks beautiful and delicious!

I have not been here for a long time but still think about you all. I'm not sure what is for dinner, I have to have a stereotactic bx and it's been 8 years since I was diagnosed and recovered. Ugh, No turkey leftovers, I'm still vegetarian, running a monoclonal antibody clinic part-time, and becoming more eccentric by the day. I hope that everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving. whether alone, or with family and friends. Kitty Cat is doing well
Happy Birthday, MOmmy! Your Thanksgiving dinners all look so good.
-
Bedo - GREAT to see you. Sorry about the bx but otherwise sounds like life is OK. "Eccentric" is becoming my nom-de-plume too. Some people become sweet, little old ladies, but the rest of us.... "Katie bar the door". Are you still playing the fiddle? Or the violin as the choice of music or the audience demands? Any more grand-babies? My nephew has turned from vegetarian to full vegan. Since since both his wife & 6 yr old daughter want meat w/every meal, it's challenging cooking for both at the same time. Although I don't eat a lot of meat, I would REALLY miss milk & butter eggs & cheese.

Happy birthday, M0mmy!
Rather disappointed with the Signature Room yesterday. Coffee in the waiting area (we had to wait till all 9 of us arrived) was lukewarm--no Sterno beneath the urns. They did give complementary pear mimosas--I found them cloyingly sweet and not bubbly enough. The entree & app portions were quite tiny. Very small Caesar salad. Maybe 3 oz. of breast over another couple oz. (at most) of shredded dark meat they called a "confit." Cream gravy (which they called "jus") dolloped (scantily) on the side of the plate. "Wrinkled green beans" were okay, generously sized. Very small disk of "cornbread pudding" (sort of like a dry-textured small-crumb stuffing). We could have stuffing, green beans or mashed potatoes--but not all of them (none offered as an add-on side, either). No cranberry sauce, either!. Pumpkin pie & caramel ice cream were okay--the pie was too sweet, but it did come with two (!) sugared cranberries. Prices were high for what we were served, with no buffet (we knew that part going in) and no turkey leftovers to take home as they always had in years past. I did discipline myself enough to take home some of my turkey & green beans for supper.
Not sure what we'll do tonight--no restaurants we've looked at online or phoned have turkey on the menu today, except maybe Boston Market, and they'll likely run out. Maybe we'll order early delivery and reheat it when we're ready to eat.
-
Ordered from Boston Market--no stuffing or cranberry sauce but we'll make do. Should be here any minute,
-
Oh, Sandy, the advantages of cooking at home-- leftovers being my primary motivation for cooking the Thanksgiving meal! Had a small turkey breast with a large frame so not really enough meat for tonight's meal so having turkey tetrazinni with 2 kinds of cranberry sauce(cooked and raw), tossed salad and choice of pie. Do have some stuffing and gravy as well as our gran daughter's favorite sweet potato casserole for another meal. No stuffing for me, used a box mix. Read the label and discovered it has high fructose corn syrup in it so a no-no for me now that I've had a gout flare. Guess I'm going to have to make stuffing from gluten free bread!
-
I turned the leftover lamb birria into an "open faced" enchilada/mexican lasanga. DH thought the initial presentation (yesterday) was spicy so I "diluted" it with yogurt (no sour cream in the house). Took the leftover corn tortillas and layered the bottom, added salsa, meat, xtra sharp cheddar, tortillas, salsa, xtra sharp cheddar. SO good. Not quite as spicy and moister so we will have that for leftovers tomorrow.
Opened a bottle of a Grocery Outlet sparkling wine (made in france but not champagne region so you can't call it champagne) I kept in the fridge from the last 20% sale. I had read some wine-snob site that raved. It is truly rave-worthy.
Hope you all have many things to be thankful for. This is my DH's 3rd t-day with me when we were promised only one....priceless.

Hi Bedo.
At "our" dinner, yesterday (at friend's house), the amounts were nearly perfect...virtually no left overs. This is good as I'm trying to lose a few pounds. :-)
I've been running 5-6 miles every other day and today was "a run day". It wasn't too bad as the temperature was a nice 73F degrees when I was out on the trail. As usual, this eliminated my appetite, so the only thing I ate was a baked potato. There were just enough leftovers for one meal and Sharon had that for dinner.
-
Washn't bad--the Boston Mkt. turkey breast was succulent, came with gravy on the side and cornbread. Alas, no stuffing nor cranberry sauce. But for $29 it was a meal for 3--including sweet potatoes, creamed spinach, & steamed veggies. (Yesterday's restaurant meal cost 8X as much). Since we do have leftovers for tomorrow night, I will try my hand at making stuffing with the low-carb high-fiber bread (adding onion, sausage, mushrooms, fresh rosemary & thyme), as well as picking up a bag of fresh or frozen cranberries to make relish (I have oranges & walnuts) in case I can't find cranberry sauce.
-
Leftover dinner last night was delicious. Eggplant lasagna, turnip greens, cornbread. I enjoyed every bite.
I'll be going back to the small supermarket in nearby town Covington on the lookout for more of those fresh greens. It's known for its huge wine selection in a large separate room. I had gone there to buy liquor. We can usually buy Gilbey's gin there but no luck that day
The weather has turned cold. 30's this morning. Good oven weather so pot roast with veggies on the menu for tonight.

We had Thanksgiving catered by Maggiano's last year and while expensive it was plenty of food that was tasty. This year we ordered the Thanksgiving feast from Boston Markets and had a whole turkey, gravy, stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potaoes, sweet potato casserole, corn, spinach dip with crackers, and pumpkin and apple pies. It was much less expensive than Maggiano's and it fed 9 people. All we had to do was reheat the food. We have leftovers made into platters to reheat and pie for a couple of days. My DD and DSIL did the "cooking" since I am still not up to handling something like this as I continue to recover from surgery. We will most likely do this again next year since it was less expensive than last year, less taxing to prepare and enjoyed by all.
-
I and my wife enjoyed a great dinner and a great time together last night. We had spaghetti, pizza, bread rolls, and chicken thighs. I loved all the dishes..and they were all delicious. They were all homemade by my wife for my birthday. Then we take a long drive and enjoy the company of each other as we listen to music.
-
Sounds like the way to go, Betrayal. I don’t see any advantage to expending all the labor unless it’s a preferred option. One segment of dh’s extended family (the unvaxed group with exceptions) bought their meal from Whole Foods and they seemed satisfied.
The other segment (vaccinated) took the old-fashioned route of doing all the cooking, including traditional dishes in serving vessels handed down from previous generations.
-
It is drizzly and cold here today. Thinking about chicken cheddar chowder for dinner.
-
Happy Holidays to All who are celebrating this Thanksgiving weekend.
jackmarry345, welcome to our community, and please let us know know a bit more about you. Thinking of all of you !
-
Yup Beaver - drizzly & COLD. For Houston at least... It's only 54, but damp & ugly.
-
I spent the day outside and it was nice enough to wear shorts. :-)
I was building more shelves to fit into the storage unit.
-
Tonight was thanksgiving leftover sliders (turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing and green bean casserole on leftover rolls) and turkey soup. The soup is especially welcome today as it’s been in the 40’s and misty on the mountain where we sat in bed watching tv most of the day.
-
Welcome, jackmarry--and happy birthday!
Dinner tonight will be reheated Boston Mkt. leftovers (turkey breast, gravy steamed veggies, sweet potato casserole and creamed spinach. I have some low-carb stuffing in the skillet right now (stale Natural Ovens keto burger buns crumbled up with mushrooms & shallots sauteed in butter & olive oil, homegrown parsley & thyme, chicken stock and a little herbes de Provence; I'm too lazy to go out in the cold and harvest rosemary. And in the mini-Cuisinart: a relish made with fresh cranberries, a Clementine, walnuts, cranberry juice and granulated monkfruit. I did manage to find a can of store-brand jellied cranberry sauce, but I think I'll save it for next year. I have only one month till my weigh-in, and I want the weights on my balance-beam scale to "swipe left."

Hello all. Chiming in late with what hubs & I had for TG. We had a "semi-homemade" meal. From Trader Joe's (7 min. away - a terrible temptation) we had a brined, seasoned w/butter & herbs turkey breast & their hasselback potatoes. "Homemade addons": roasted brussels & rainbow carrots, mashed sweet potatoes w/nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, vanilla & butter mixed in, cranberry sauce and of course gravy. The turkey breast was almost 5 lbs, so lots of it leftover. Hubs is a good kitchen helper, so it made for an easy meal.
