Hey! We had turkey, too!! What are the chances?

Turkey (which I consider the least important part of my mom's T-Day Dinner)... she makes the most incredible rice/sausage stuffing... the first time she didn't make a mushroom pie, but, instead her stuffed mushrooms which are just as good... baked candied yams and baked real yams... carrots... awesome gravy (yeah, brown turkey gravy, not what yooz call spaghetti sauce )... a great cranberry bread they got at Wegmans... of course canned jellied cranberry sauce... some mashed pots for the nephews... and for dessert, pumpkin and apple pies from Delicious Orchards (who make the best pies and other things -- I can't believe they don't sell their INCREDIBLE pumpkin pies or apple cider online! You're better off taking a day trip there if you're within 50 miles; it'd be worth it!)

Im going to my local resteraunt tonight the romans rest,they have a fantastic menu but everytie i go there i have to go for the Full rack of ribs you can actually see the chefs cooking which is great,actually thinking about it i may go for the wild boar yummy

My mom's turkey soup, half a turkey salad sandwich, leftover stuffing w/ gravy w/ some cranberry sauce, leftover candied yams (they get better each day!),... And yesterday in Annapolis (meeting my brand new niece/nephew twins for the first time), my brother's turkey salad!

Since I just got back home from my trip today I'm not cooking so it's Pizza Hut delivery.

Welcome back Mig!!

I too refuse to cook this weekend. It was Jack n' the Box sirlion steak/cheese sandwich with a side of mozzarella cheese sticks. Junk food, but I liked it.


TIS

I miss Jack n' the box. We haven't had them here in about 20 years. Their sandwich was The Jumbo Jack. The next best one to them was Gino's. They had The Gino Giant.

Ahh, I remember the days you could eat them once a week and never gain an ounce.

They still have the Jumbo Jack Beth. They are good as well. I didn't realize that the chain was on the East Coast.

Do you have Carls' Jr. too? I like their burgers even more. Although I must admit that I very seldom get fast food burgers these days.

TIS

We don't have Carl's Jr or In and out burgers. I don't think we have anything that's only local either. Just your basic McDonald's, Roy Rogers and Hardees.

Jersey does!

You have crab cakes, we have burgers!

Sorry Geoffy.

Agreed. Turkey's so dry, it's nothing without the supplements: cranberry sauce, gravy, stuffing, sprouts, peas, potatoes.

We usually scratch the Turkey and opt for lamb and duck.

But...

It's a Gino's Deep Dish

So tiny but it took over a half hour to cook!

We'll see how it tastes

Not bad, crust wasn't great though. Not very big either. I'm heating the oven to cook another (different) pizza

California Pizza Kitchen Margherita

My mother made a pan of lasagna. It was incredible.

Mmmm, sounds good SB. That's what I'm making Christmas day.

As for tonight's dinner, ribeye steak, salad and garlic toast. Very tasty. I need my steak fix at least once a week.

TIS

We went out to tonight for our 25th. anniversary but my anniversary was 24 days ago.

Happy Anniversary. 25 years, huh? But Mig, you're only 35 years old.

Geez, when my parents celebrated their 25th I thought they were ancient. Then they celebrated their 50th, I thought they were old. Then their 60th came and went and I thought I was old.

I had lasagna for Thanksgiving. Something I've never done before.

Does this make me a little Italian now?

Sure does, Beth!! I love lasagna. I feel like raiding the fridge right now.

Bless your lovin heart

Happy Anniversary Mig. You should be very proud. 25 years is a very rare accomplishment for any marriage these days. My best to you and your hubby.

TIS

Thank you TIS and SC.

I had some lasagna that day, too. I wish I had some leftovers.

I'm just getting over the flu now. I need some "comfort foods".

I'll send you some hot chicken soup.

TIS

I'm having crabcakes for lunch. Will that do?

Thanx, TIS. I've been craving wonton soup. I hafta go to the doctor later. On the way back I'm gonna get a few quarts of it.

YOU'RE having crabcakes??? Well, you are what you eat, I suppose.

I like the combination Wonton/Egg Drop soup when I'm sick.

SC, you and Mr. Babe are scary sometimes. He's been home sick, coughing and miserable all week, too!

Congrats, Mig!! 25 years and you never had a fight!!

Who's never had a fight????
