Well, our Thanksgiving just went to heck in a handbasket. Got the turkey done, carved up and in a pan ready to take to our friends' house. Called to see if we needed to pick anything else up on the way and were informed that the get together is TOMORROW. I don't know where the communication broke down (wasn't me!). Guess they'll be getting leftover turkey. If I make it. There's a gun show tomorrow. Guess I'll have a "fresh" turkey sammich and call it good for today.
*Edit* Perhaps I was a bit negative, and shouldn't have been. Still have plenty to be thankful for. It's only our Thanksgiving plans that went awry. The sammich was VERY good. DoggyMama picked up some kind of whole grain/nutty/seedy bread that is delicious with turkey and a big cold glass of milk.
Just finished dinner...... (prepared by printcraft)
Turkey (of course) oven roasted with stuffing in the bird
Green bean casserole
Carrot souffle
Mashed potatoes (made with butter and heavy cream)
Gravy from the bird drippings
Deviled eggs
I forgot to cook the asparagus....... I guess that will have to wait until later this weekend.
and a nice batch of Egg Nog that I made last night and put in the fridge, no cook version, all egg with Makers Mark bourbon.
(I need a refill)
