Just my wife and I for Thanksgiving as we are making sure we don't get exposed to our nieces and nephews who are all nurses.
Thanksgiving Dinner:
Sliced Boar's Head Turkey Breast
Heinz Turkey Gravy
Bob Evan's Mashed Potatoes
Bruce's Canned Yams which I will make into my Candied Yam Pie, adding Brown Sugar, Butter, and Marshmallows.
Skipping my Green Bean Casserole w/ Cream of Mushroom Soup and French's Fried Onions
As a side note, I will be putting together the furniture I bought to make my Memorial to Bayani. I am looking at numerous rescue organizations trying to find someone to adopt. A few I visited just haven't been the right fit as of now. My wife says the right one will show up, just give it some time.

Several of us on here confirmed that you can freeze leftover turkey as well. IMO it gets a little dry when frozen/defrosted. Save some gravy to moisten it with. I noticed that you are making the gravy tonight instead of using the turkey drippings---don't let all of that yummy bottom of the pan go to waste.

Cast iron pork chops, roasted sweet potatoes and red onion, with a maple laced pan sauce. An excellent autumn meal that went well with a few glasses of Pinot.

I agree with your wife. Don't rush it just because you are feeling the emptiness . This is a long commitment as you know....you are bringing a new family member home . Unfortunately there are always way too many dogs and cats looking for homes. Thank you for looking for a rescue .
As far as dinner today:
- Butterball turkey breast
- Mashed Potatoes
- Corn
- Green Bean Casserole
- Stuffing
- Gravy
- Cranberry sauce

Anyways, to get back on topic, I decided to add a pumpkin pie I bought at Publix yesterday to tonight's dinner with whipped cream for dessert. However, the way my wife eats, it probably will be here for the next week.

I can't believe people will spend so much money for a purebreed pet. The best ones are usually mixes who have many different traits of each breed. Before I got Bayani, I looked at purebred Shitzu's as my brother had one. The shops were asking for $K's and even though I spent more than $4K on Bayani to restore his sight due to cataracts, I wouldn't spend that kind to acquire a pet. There are many stories of people who bought pets that ended up passing away because of either sickness or inbred diseases.

Cider brined smoked turkey
Maple mashed sweet potatoes
Cornbread dressing
Green bean casserole

I have an estate vineyard and a Alisos vineyard Syrah by Andrew Murray lined up for the wine, which I hope to be a nice compliment to the smoked meat.

The cornbread dressing was good, but not as good as the kind they used to have with sausage in it.
