So I did part pre-made (from our local chain that competes with Whole Foods and is better) and part home-cooked. The store provided a cooked boneless turkey breast, wild rice stuffing, and roasted root vegetables; I made a salmon, mashed potatoes, green beans with lemon zest, and a chocolate pudding pie. My husband made pecan pie.Kai Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13319136737099550784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-76164420434584311332009-12-04T10:05:00.886-08:002009-12-04T10:05:00.886-08:00I cooked an abbreviated Thanksgiving meal (Turkey,...I cooked an abbreviated Thanksgiving meal (Turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and whatever green vegetables were at hand) several weeks before the actual holiday that generated meals over the following week. <br /><br />For the actual holiday I helped prepare a more extravagant meal for 12 in Santa Barbara. I didn't take any leftovers due to my travel schedule.<br /><br />I'll probably prepare another abbreviated Thanksgiving meal in the coming weeks. I love mass quantities of home-cooked leftovers - so quick, so tasty.<br /><br />I have eaten<br />the turkey<br />that was in<br />the icebox<br /><br />and which <br />you were probably <br />saving for<br />sandwiches<br /><br />Forgive me<br />it was delicious<br />so savory<br />and so easy<br /><br />apologies <br />to william<br />carlos<br />williamsBrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11450393891493020636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-52174481636931935382009-12-04T06:33:01.852-08:002009-12-04T06:33:01.852-08:00My parents came over, and my Mom and my sister coo...My parents came over, and my Mom and my sister cooked Thanksgiving for us, my cousin and his wife, and two of our closest friends. All I had to do was provide the house! Last year, we had an even bigger crowd, and I was much more involved in the cooking. But since Petunia was only 7 weeks old, I didn't think I could handle any cooking this year.<br /><br />We ate leftovers for a couple of nights, and have two containers of turkey meat in our freezer.Cloudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317847285050447789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15350975.post-70726745069093382222009-12-04T05:25:36.904-08:002009-12-04T05:25:36.904-08:00We had a nice Thansgiving.

My sister brought fancy desserts. Everyone helped clean up. The day after I made stock from the bones and I have over a gallon of stock to make soup with. My husband has already made sweet potato and ham soup with some of it. Last night we had mac and cheese (from scratch)with turkey and my son said it was the best he had ever had.Little Hunting Creekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15581836733935812927noreply@blogger.com
