Just had a can of reduced-sodium chicken and wild rice soup and some leftover Triscuits from the Drunk DO.

Yes, the cranberries are mixed in with the ground turkey with some seasoning. The cranberry bits are very small, so you don't notice any texture inconsistencies when eating.

Re: bacon on doughnuts, I think I've had where a strip of not so crispy bacon was laid on top of the bar and the really enjoyable kind with crispy crumbled bacon sprinkled on top. To me, that matters. I don't want chewy bacon on my donut.
And re: coq au vin, thank you for that idea. It reminds me of my childhood, a special meal we only occasionally had. I guess I will be buying some white wine for the first time in my life sometime soon.
ETA: Does Trader Joe's have a white Two Buck Chuck or does that only come in red?

My mother made coq au vin earlier this year for the first time and it came out great. Last night that was what they had at the JFK Centurion Lounge and it wasn't as good but it was still very tasty.

Thought it was a pistachio ( and got really excited ) or matcha tiramisu , then the Dao Paolo guy said it was spinach frittata !! , a real let down .. looked more like tiramisu than a brownie in the display .
Decided to try it nonetheless as somewhat brings back memories of breakfast at Amanusa , Bali , which is sadly no more

Dinner at Il Punto tonight. Fried calamari, and the branzino and shrimp special for the entree.
I picked up lunch for tomorrow from my favorite restaurant in my neighborhood. You'll have to wait until then to find out what I got

Trader Joe's Thanksgiving stuffing flavored kettle chips.
I took them to a friend's house a few years ago & we used them for the appetizer & had gravy to dip them in.
