Some of the stuff happening today, US Thanksgiving, is ridiculous. On GMA this morning they were suggesting alternate desserts and also saying you could cook a turkey breast if you like. What I wondered was, how were you going to obtain a turkey breast on Thanksgiving Day unless you had grocery stores open near you!!! Or suddenly change what dessert you were going to prepare assuming you had those ingredients in your kitchen. Helpful hints on cooking the bird itself would be useful, but not changing your menu on THE day.
While many of you were slogging away in the kitchen, we, of course, went bowling. One 200 game one mediocre game, a little over my average. Matt had a bad day I'm afraid. It really is a weird game, how can you throw lots of Strikes and Spares in one game and then have trouble finding the middle in the next.
This sounded like a pretty good recipe to me and made me wish I had some turkey.

Have a great day
I vaguely remember hearing about the book but have not read it. MY TBR list is very long. We had a nice dinner here. I would imagine that if you were cooking that day, you would not be watching TV?
ReplyDeleteMine too Denise, but this really is a good book and not all that long I think. Glad dinner was nice. Although didn't think it would be otherwise. I dunno, lots of people have their TV's on constantly.
DeleteHi Jo - it's an excellent read, though I've yet to see the Show .. while the thought of turkey sandwich just doesn't appeal ... maybe too early ... cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteIsn't it Hilary, I really enjoyed it. Have you read The Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon. Similar situation with autistic people. I am thinking of buying a turkey breast at Christmas just so we can have turkey sandwiches. Going to the Mandarin for our actual Xmas meal. I guess this will be your first Christmas in Canada.
DeleteThat sandwich looks deeeeeeelicious!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it JoJo?
DeleteI read that book many years ago and loved it. It gives a great insight into autism. It was recommended that we university students read it before we became teachers in a classroom.
ReplyDeleteMe too Pinky. Have you read The Speed of Dark by Elizabeth Moon. Another story about autism. Another brilliant one. One of my all time favourite books.
DeleteI've heard of that book and must put it on my list - there's an interesting drama on at the moment about a family with an autistic child - more about how they handle it ... but still very absorbing - it's called The A Word.
ReplyDeleteI don't really like turkey but it has to be cooked for Christmas in our house - so I'll buy some Brie as something to improve it for the next day before the soup stage lol
I heard about the book Fil but they have been advertising the Toronto show a lot on TV so it piqued my curiosity.
DeleteYou should try my leftover turkey and ham recipe (ham is optional.
