What's on the menu this evening?

[Tifoso]

I made butternut squash soup. The kids are going to have to find something else to eat, though. They've already said "eww".

Put bacon bits (real ones) on the top, on a dollop of sour cream. You won't be able to keep their bowls full.

I read that as "bowels."

That sounds good to me, but the sour cream would send them running away! Lol

Then just the bits. That's how I always have it

I didn't have time to make a sammich, so I just made a salad w/some sammich goodies.

I made homemade turkey soup last night (my brother in law doesn't bother, so when we have Thanksgiving there, I always take home the carcass). It was delicious, but since they only got a 15 lb bird, I didn't have enough turkey left to use for anything but the soup.

We have a lot of other leftovers (mashed taters, turnips, brussel sprouts, gravy) so I'm going to make chicken breasts tonight and just use the leftovers for the sides.

Tomorrow, I'll make split pea soup with the ham we also had (BIL didn't want the hambone either). I love soup.

Mushroom caps

Dessert: homemade crepes with either grape or strawberry jam.

After dinner drink: Bailey's Irish Cream for Mom, Balvenie 21 for Dad and me.

[GiambiRocks]

Dinner Party tonight:
Stuffing with Sausage, Apples and Pecans
Honey Mustard Chicken topped with bacon and mozzarella cheese
Green Beans with Balsamic Carmelized Red Onions

Can't wait to eat!

Open the front door, Karen. Oh, and which stop on Metro-North are ya?

I'm going to some place called MonAlyssa in Point Pleasant. Based on the menu, I can't tell if it's casual or slightly nicer. No t-shirt for me, I guess.

Call and ask if they have a dress code.

I hate making phone calls - I'll just get changed.

I had my first minced meat pie experience on Thanksgiving. I'll never make that mistake again.

[4bronxbombers]

Wings and beer after B's All-Star football game. Eff the fancy stuff. We had a great time and great food.

My mother loved minced meat pie on Thanksgiving, so when I had Thanksgiving at my house, I always made it. But after she passed, we realized no one else liked it, so we deleted it from the menu. Same with creamed pearl onions.
