I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving Day.
It was a good day here. Sis, bro-in-law & Dad ... all the usual yummies plus a couple of new. I found an app on Roku to play Wheel Of Fortune. Everyone seemed to enjoy it.

Glad you & family got together

So let us know what happens at work. Constant radio would annoy me! Even in the stores, some have annoying songs but none are talk/news stations. I'd be unplugging that and tell her to wear her earphones for her sound pleasure

Yeah, it's hard to plan life with not having a work plan or schedule. My work changes -- mainly the size/number of jobs -- but I can at least do my own schedule! That's a must have for me.

Hope they have a "plan" that works for you.

I finished off the T.G. turkey & dressing leftovers today. Just better & better .
BUT... I had a 'backup' turkey breast thawed and about half a pan of dressing mixed up that didn't fit in the pan that I cooked for the day.
..... soooooo now I've got a whole new turkey breast AND a pan of cornbread dressing!!!
Plus I kinda lost my mind & made a pot of amazing soup from the sucotash & smoked ham leftovers (+ salsa from this summer)

Aaaannnd when I went to the store to get the French bread they had packs of thin cut pork chops marked down to almost nothing (6-8 per pack for $3-$4 !) And as long as I was kitchen-wench insane.... I cooked them too!!!!
I have soooo much food in the fridge right now.
I haven't tried to can cooked turkey before.... I suppose it will be ok?
Maybe swing by the dollar store for some vac-seal bags tomorrow?

Vac seal it & freeze. An already cooked turkey to can, it'll be mush. Yeah 90 min under pressure.

But...those leftovers in pic look delish!

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
Thanks! It IS delish!
Might make up freezer breakfast sandwiches of the thin chops. And vac turkey/dressing plates for the freezer.

In the past I've made myself ready-to-microwave dinners from leftovers, put them in the freezer.

Cooked meat should be eaten or frozen within three days. I guess I need to freeze mine tonight...

Had to laugh... kitchen-wench insane...

DARN I didn't get an invite... just pictures after the fact !!!!!

I also saw some thin sliced pork chops for insanely cheap a few weeks ago and got them and had nice chops for a couple dinners....

For whatever reason, I'm still determined to try and have some kind of 'holiday connection' with Dad.
I don't know if I mentioned it earlier, but my sister & I scheduled time off to take him to this huge drive-through Christmas light display up near Dowell. Then a week later he decided he didn't want to sit in a car that long.
A week or so after that I hear that the church that hosts the women's conference that we attend every year is putting on 'It's A Wonderful Life, the musical'. We asked if he'd like to see it, he said yes. It's tonight. I called yesterday to let him know the time I'd pick him up & the plan for dinner & meeting Pam and all. I said "Are you getting excited about tomorrow night? I am. " He said "I'm glad you are. "
Then he asked "So where is this... 'church?' we're going to?" I told him it's was in Mechanicsville & we'd just take 95 to 295 & then follow the directions in the phone.
"You don't even know where it is?!"
"Well, I've been there 3 times in 3 years.... so I don't exactly have it memorized. We'll be fine"
"<.... big long sigh> Ok. So you'll pick me up at 4:40? See you tomorrow. Bye"

It's going to be a long drive there & back .... But I'm still excited to see the show. I hope he'll at least attempt to enjoy it.
