LEFTOVERS

hope you all (heh. as bill says -- all 2 of you) had a wonderful thanksgiving.

mine was wonderful. matt and mel drove up from columbus on wednesday afternoon. we met at danny boys for pre-holiday pizza. they left friday afternoon for another feast with mel's family in pittsburgh. for two days, we cooked, ate, laughed, watched football, played euchre and trivial pursuit, and laughed some more. it was awesome.

i cooked a huuuuge butterball -- 20 pounds. i wasn't thrilled with the bird this year, i must admit (sorry, mom). so far, leftovers have generated cold sandwiches, hot sandwiches, croquettes, and just plain reheats. what i don't use today in the turket pot pie dinner and sandwiches lunch will have to be frozen.

yesterday while i was napping, bill made cashew brittle. when i got up, i made some chocolate-raisin-peanut-marshmallow clusters. the holidays are off to a running start.

i'm boring. and busy. and feeling very thankful today.

That sounds wonderful.... well, not that cooking part but the hanging with Mel and Matt part.

I'm glad you all enjoyed yourselves so much. How do you manage to eat so many goodies?
