First day of month end and busy so home made pastrami, corned beef and Swiss on rye sandwich. Most likely the same tomorrow with how hectic day two is.

 

[Windhover]

Cup of bison & vegetable stew, polenta, piece of frosted gingerbread cake, milk. Hopefully no paint.

 

[KM76710]

Repeat of the above sandwich. We weren't even completely done with month end when I got off work, close but not quite.

This sounds good mike. I have the remains of the roast turkey frozen, and was wondering what to do with it. Did you simmer the bones too? (bone broth is supposed to be healthy)

no we never do that. my wife always picks the bird clean after a couple of days, this way we can continue to have the rest of the leftovers as well as the bird. turkey rice soup is just as much a tradition as thanksgiving dinner itself in our house. and we have been doing it for 43 years, we have been married 44 years but our first thanksgiving we went to her relatives

@1964dodge I'm going to make it tomorrow. Thank you mike, that's an excellent tradition. And I didn't really want to use the bones, so that's fine with me!

I would like the recipe for the frosted gingerbread cake, if you would PM me. ! I tried making a similar cake last year and it failed miserably. I did make gingerbread once and that was delicious.

 

[Witty_Sarcasm]

Some random stuff I got at Walmart: a hot dog, chicken egg roll, and spicy chicken salad.

 

[Anchorchain]

An apple, about 1/2 cup of pumpkin seeds and about 1/2 cup of almonds. Typical dinner for me.
I buy raw nuts and roast them myself.

 

[Road to Nowhere]

Cooked a turkey in the oven

Chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy.

I had turkey & veggie soup, made with the last bits of leftover roast. (Thanks for the good idea mike.)

we always make a big batch and have lefovers for a while. we used to have an 8 quart croc pot but only have a 6 quart now. i goofed and put a whole pound of rice which made it way too thick of course. so i took half out and froze it and added water to what is left. this way we get 12 quarts half frozen and half fresh. funny thing is it took my wife many years to use a croc pot, i always said it wasn't real cooking. i figured out i was wrong , finally lol.

i couldn't attend a celebration of life affair today for my sister in law because i was sick today, although i probably wouldn't have gone anyway because i don''t do well in large indoor crowds. but my son was there and she passed in august so my wife was ok.

well my brother in law and my grandaughter insisted on me having a plate. way too much food. i had lazagne, egg salad, tuna, and ham salad finger sandwhiches, hot sausage, 2 cupcakes, a brownie, and a sore belly lol and have leftovers

I am sorry about the pound of rice mixup. Lots of soup! I chose to leave out the rice altogether. Haven't a slow cooker anymore as I gave it to my son to take to uni with him. I used a heavy enameled dutch oven type of pot.
Sauteed the bits of meat on the carcass with a little pork belly, & , with cubes of carrot, celery, mushrooms, minced onion, a splash of white to deglaze the browned bits then s & p, 2 qts f water and let it cook with the lid on about 2 hrs. Oh and toward the end of cooking a handfuls of green beans, spinach, & a few peas & spring onion.
