No, it was the Walmart Marketside brand. It wasn't bad and was very thick.

Dinner tonight was turkey, stuffing, carrots, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and gravy, plus a chocolate chip cookie for dessert. The neighbors picked up a family meal for us from a local restaurant. They also included vegetable soup, but I'll have some of that for lunch tomorrow.

Wish those notes were real so that they could be used for / on cruises flights , shopping / tips and such . Just interesting serviettes ;) sadly though , gfunkdave .

Yes , GW McLintock , the food is always good & often the plating , especially by restaurants or friends , makes the food really palatable too .

Still have about a quarter of the tart to enjoy , shh 🤫 .. what was enjoyed tasted fine .
Les Amis must be “ kidding “ about the tart being consumed “ within four hours of collection “ !!
The first was delivered within 20 minutes , but it took 2 hours to deliver next 2 of these & doubt they were consumed within the next 2 hours .

The 2 at our home were not .. on hold for a bit , friends had to wait before trying as all were already on a sugar high .

Well , always been kueh pie tee where we are in the region in Malaysia and Singapore .. only relatives in Melaka tell us restaurants there call them “ top hats “ - thing is easier for “ marketing “ .

Poh piah & kueh pie tee ( shells too ) , as in just about all Peranakan dishes , are laboriously time consuming if prepared the authentic way .. but taking mere seconds to gobble down a single kueh pie tee ;)

Celebrating Thanksgiving early? Or inbetween Canadian Turkey day and US Turkey day? :)

McIntosh apple and some oatmeal

Really need to get back on the wagon.

I vaguely remember something about top hats in menus, but I don't remember seeing that in a long time. Poh piah never lasts long among my relatives and friends. All these "handy" foods never do... although they do last a little longer if not pre-made. I think if we ever get to travel safely again, I'm definitely going to need at least a week just to do a food tour again and hit the favourites... Some of them are hard to find here (and some just not possible). And to try to make them myself is just so time consuming (and usually with lots of incomplete leftovers that I can't finish by myself)

LOL, call it a trial run for if I can't cook for Thanksgiving. I wanted comfort food and it was perfect for that.

I got a shrimp sushi burrito for lunch. Only $5 and oh so good... they also have tuna, salmon, and a few other options. I got salmon last time and it was great too.

Sounds wonderful ...I love fruit with pork. Since there is sugar in the chutney it might burn...maybe add it at the last minute of broiling?

brunch... bowl of cornflakes

We must be on the same wave length! Before adding last night, I thought to myself…the sugars will cause this to burn under the broiler. Thus, I added after 5 minutes of broiling.
As for the taste….really good! The wine cut down on some of the sweetness of the apricots. I also included a little nutmeg and chive as well. Thumbs up from me.

Lunch…maple turkey and swiss on rye.

I used to love Corn Flakes... I now prefer bran flakes or preferably All-Bran.

Corn makes me :mad:

-J.

Bran flakes and All-Bran are ok.
I also enjoy some raisin bran once in awhile.
I can't tell if that is meant to be truly angry, or it's the face you make when you clench hard doing number 2. :p

Ok, my turn... Lunch... pork and shrimp dumplings... although only 20ish or so. and no cereal of any sort. (out of milk and haven't gone shopping yet)
