Getting the meal plan together for Thanksgiving dinner. I'm cooking most of the grub, wifey will help out with prep work. So far, looks like this

Maple brined (maple/candied ginger, salt, water, peppercorns) and smoked turkey

Mashed garlic/chive taters and gravy from the turkey giblets.

Roasted root vegetables with a dijon vinegarette

Sweet potato casserole

Dijon/parmesian roasted cauliflower

Apple pie. I won't actually make the pie.

Then slip into a food coma on the couch.

My family likes to tweak recipes in order to find the combination that best suits the taste buds of all of us. In this case, piccata's a pretty basic recipe. We went with more butter and capers than usual, didn't rinse the brine off the capers, went with a bit more wine than usual and then reduced it to the same amount as normal, used tenderloins instead of the entire breast, used garlic and, didn't double batter the chicken.

Wife made chicken fried steak. I suck and have no pictures. But it was glorious.

Last night's dinner—Swiss steak in tomato gravy with green peppers and onions, mashed taters and garlicky green beans.

I almost prefer leftovers to day-of. I'm gonna make a Thanksgiving leftover pie. In a pie shell, bottom layer of stuffing, then turkey, gravy for sauce, covered with mashed potatoes like shepherd's pie. Bake off, brown the top, serve with more gravy (or cranberry sauce).

I had my traditional leftover turkey sandwich for lunch. At the request of the Mrs and my visiting Niece, I'm making homemade chicken & dumplings for dinner

Tonight I reheated three leftover mild italian sausages with sauce I had in the fridge and then made three sandwiches on Portuguese rolls with grated parm and a glass of Robert Mondavi Cab Sav.

Simple but very tasty.

OK, I know it's ugly, but it's GOOD. Thanksgiving leftover pie. Pie crust, bottom layer is stuffing, then turkey, topped with some gravy for sauce. Covered in mashed potatoes and cooked like shepherd's pie. Sauced with gravy.

Here is my leftover plate from last night. Today I made a turkey-stuffing-cranberry sauce sandwich (no pic).

Homemade tomato vegetable soup.
(It was frozen since summer and gotta use it up.)
Chicken breast sauteed in sesame oil garlic and onion.
A bowl of butternut squash.

Dessert was a beet smoothie, with frozen raspberries, half banana, half small apple and flax seeds sweetened with stevia. Nice n' sweet.

No pics. I was in a hurry and feelin' too lazy to get my camera.
