Turkey Sandwich? Ham Sandwich?

We canceled our plans yesterday to go to Galveston because of the weather and just being to darn tired to travel.

So, I went to the Nursing Home to visit my Mom. My intention was to take her out to eat for Thanksgiving, but the Kitchen had prepared Turkey and Dressing for the Residents. I was invited to stay and eat with her. It was actually very good.

I brought Mom out to the house where She cozied up in the recliner by the fireplace with all three dogs climbing all over her. We watched the Dog Competition and just chilled.

How was your day?

On my birthday one year, I had an Almond Joy martini. It was the first martinit I ever had. It was soooooooooooo good! I've tried to duplicate it, haven't yet! I've also had some sort of pear martini which was also very good. I tried the appletini, don't care for sour apple, so didn't care for this one. I'll keep trying to reproduce that Almond Joy one though. I remember it was clear liquid, because the glass had chocolate syrup swirled all around on it. I'm having trouble making a clear one. LOL.

If you enjoy a buffet, Vals is a good place to go to when visiting the capital city. Good price, lots of choices! Thanks for a fun visit ladies. In a nutshell--I ate enough for the rest of the day, Diane and Leslie look younger than last year (how do you do that?), Ms. Nita (Leslie's mom) was a pleasure to dine with and some people from the kt might have ringing ears today!( lol, oh maybe a little ringing.) Thanks for getting us together for our yearly food feast and chat. It worked great today, especially after getting the girls off to 4-h camp. Our picture looks pretty good, better than the floor shot too! ;) (LOL)

Glenda, I'm 74 and I woud find it amusing if I overheard a conversation like that. We all know people that are 'old' at 60! They walk like an old person, they talk like an old person and they think like an old person. Age is a state of mind. Exercising and keeping active keeps you young. I'm still walking five miles a day or eighteen holes of golf and I know people a lot younger than me that cannot do that. You're doing water aerobics, weights, etc. You go girl. Just laugh it off. Don't you remember when you were a teenager and thinking that 35 was old?

Frito Pie 1 9 3/4 oz. package regular Fritos 2 cans Chili/no beans of choice +1/2 can water 1/4 finely diced onion (optional) About 2 cups (or more if you like) shredded cheddar cheese Mix the chili and water together and set aside.You can use any kind of chili that you like,even homemade.I used Wolf brand. Spray a medium size baking dish with cooking spray.Spread 1/3 of the package of Fritos on the bottom.Top with 1/3 of the chili,some of the onions and 1/3 of the cheese.Continue layering ending with the cheese.You can also mix All of the Fritos in a large bowl with all the chili and onions,then layer in the dish with the cheese between layers.Either way it all comes out the same.LOL Bake at 350 uncovered for 30-35 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. I guess you could add anything you like to it such as jalepenos or green chilies,maybe even sliced black olives but this is the way my mom made it and the way I made it for years.

Well, since I left all my leftovers at DD#2's house I am in a state of withdrawal. I am pitiful. SO, I think DH and I will go to the boats and eat some FREE casino food. They do have the best Chinese food ever and bananas Foster, so it's hard to starve over there.

I'll never, no never, leave my leftovers again. That cornbread dressing was just delicious. She used the Luby's recipe minus the sage. I may call and tell her to freeze me a serving or two. I repeat. I am pitiful.

Tonight I'm having pizza. Yesterday I went all out, cooked a brined 12 pound turkey with all the trimmings. I have enough leftovers to feed my family for at least a week. The only thing that went badly was I burned the pumpkin pie. But I never eat the crust anyway,so it was okay.

I read somewhere, that Pizza is the favorite food for after the Thanksgiving Dinner.

Talk about teasing the palate.

Turkey Calzones sound pretty good.

We're not having Thanksgiving dinner until Sunday, so I don't know what's for lunch. I had a bowl of cereal about 11:00.

Jammer and I had German Chocolate cake for breakfast and I had a ham sandwich and Jammer had tamales and cornbread dressing for lunch. Now I'm enjoying a bowl of congealed salad. Tonight will probably be left-over turkey. I love all the left overs.

After we had a lunch of a yogurt and fresh apple (ate too much yesterday), DH says "We should have had a turkey sandwich!" I did have a slice of pumpkin pie for breakfast. I never enjoy it Thanksgiving day after all that other food, but it did taste good with my morning coffee. I always enjoy the leftovers on Sunday much more then the feast on Turkey Day. Too much tasting while cooking! Also too tired after cooking all day to enjoy anything!

Had mashed potatoes and gravy and stuffing and turkey with cranberry sauce for lunch...fried shrimp and broccoli for dinner! The turkey breast I fixed is still only half gone, it's going in the freezer along with leftover gravy. Also turkey stock that wasn't needed.

I had some mushrooms that were about to go out of date. So I sautÃ©ed the mushrooms with onions and some turkey in a wine sauce. Too Sweet....so I added sour creme. Then I took the mixture and spooned it onto Crescent Roll Pastry and baked.

Really an appetizer, but it was my Dinner tonight. I will slice up the Turkey tomorrow and freeze it.
