Big pot of cauliflower cheddar soup. With garlic bread and turkey kielbasa for us. Taking soup (and other food) to my daughter who is writing exams. Tomorrow - not tonight. First snowfall here and there are cars in ditches and crashes everywhere. My son’s out driving a tow truck and a car slammed into the back his truck. The car’s a write-off and he’s now towing it to the impound lot. (son is fine)

rivels are possibly german, just little dumpling like things made by mixing flour and a beaten egg until it breaks into "crumbles". Then you drop them into the soup and they cook, and thicken the broth a bit. Yummy!

Pam, what’s a rivel? Is it game night?
Sam, wings sound yum. Double yum if crispy on the grill!

Tonight, quesadillas on the old George Foreman. Easy to make; a pain to clean up.

I am my wife's caregiver and last night I grilled chicken wings and served with a bag caesar salad that she absolutely loved. I like to season the wings with seasoned salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and paprika. Then I grill until they are mostly crispy, turn the heat down a little, and baste with barbecue sauce. I let the sauce cook on, baste again, turn them over and do the same on the other side. The sauce is then kind of caramelized and sticky, the wings are outstanding. Easy meal (for me) for around $10.

Yum, I cannot wait to try KFC.

Yeah, but they don't have it here in my area.

KFC here has been advertising a festive chicken, stuffing and cranberry sandwich and when I checked online it has good reviews, it's on my list of junk foods I must try (lol)

Ooh, Nacy, I agree. My DD puts her leftover stuffing in her waffle iron and makes turkey, cranberry sandwiches with the waffles. Too good!

Tomorrow I'm FINALLY cooking my own Thanksgiving dinner, they way I like it. 😂

I'm oddly excited about , finally having it the way I want. Lots and lots of little issues this week. Been one of those weeks that everything goes wrong. Nothing drastic just stuff. Snow, 2 of my sons have had car issues, mom is having hot water issues, and a sick tortoise

Had Thanksgiving at my daughter and son-in-law's place, with two grand daughters and son-in-law's parents. I was on turkey, gravy, and stuffing duty; daughter is vegetarian so I spared her from having to handle the bird! Thirteen-year old grand-daughter was a big help. Had a very traditional New England menu: turkey, gravy, stuffing, mashed potatoes, squash, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, pies (pumpkin, apple, pecan, and, new this year, sweet potato). Came home with lots of leftovers, including the turkey carcass that I'll make into soup stock. My late husband loved soup of almost any kind, but for some reason turned his nose up at turkey soup, though he loved turkey and loved Thanksgiving. It was his favorite holiday, and we really miss him on that day; he passed away in June, 2022 so this was our third Thanksgiving without him. Friday I went to a family member's belated birthday dinner and had lobster! Tonight: Thanksgiving #2 (leftovers)

Golden , I love that!! 😍 Everyday is a holiday.

When someone ask my husband what day it is, he says everyday is a Saturday.


Hubby only micro managed when the weather gets colder and he is board and inside more. He knows better now, but every once in a while it still have to , put my foot down, a a boot in the behind. 😂, or tell him he is cooking all week. 😂

Wow. Pam! Do you hire him out?

Leftovers tonight for us too. We came home with way more than we brought! Tomorrow is our quasi-Thanksgiving so I did as much prep for that as I could - splitting butternut squash, trimming sprouts, cooking up onions, celery and herbs and browning ground turkey and sausage for the stuffing. Smells good in here!

Golden, I don’t think I could handle that cold for very long - I know DH couldn’t. He’s standing in front of the gas fire with his coat on right now while I can feel my cheeks burning.

PamZ - Well done for your hubby. Glad it all is working out. As it's well below freezing here now (5F) I am using the balcony as a freezer.

Way - I guess not! You still have a decent number. Very kind of you to include the older couple next door.

Psue - thank you but they really weren't inspired. I remember cooking things in a made-for-the-oven "plastic" bag, Wasn't worth it! Sorry to hear your dh had a heart attack one year.

Rotisserie chicken for supper tonight. The groceries just came. I love not having to go out in the snowy cold and ice.

R is getting his permanent crowns at the dentist today. Good thing too as one came out last night. He did have one replacement prepped last time and 4 were preps for new crowns. He handles this stuff very well.

Golden, I think I would enjoy an all veggie sides Thanksgiving if you were cooking it!

Remember that bizarre trend of roasting the turkey inside of a brown paper bag? Talk about a fire hazard!
I wonder the percentage of people who have NOT had some kind of holiday disaster - clogged drain, dead fridge, power outage, frozen pipes…..DH had a heart attack one year!
I’m thankful we made it through Thanksgiving with nothing bad (and very much good) happening.

Way, BIL said turkeys over 16 lbs are all Toms so more likely to be tough. Could be true or could be man-talk! All I know is the one he smoked was tender, juicy and delicious so he’s allowed to man-talk all he wants when he can cook like that!

Golden ,

I don’t do 20 lb turkeys anymore , not since my parents passed away . Older sibs moved , are spread out too since retiring .

Much smaller holidays now , just my kids and sig others , one nephew , one sister ( except now she was just placed ) , and sometimes the elderly couple next door come .
