the day after

We're invited to friends for T-Day so I haven't been reading the
turkey threads much but I don't think the usual discussion of
leftovers has had much play yet. So I offer my best piece of advice,
posted in 1999:

" Turkey sandwiches must include some stuffing and some cranberry
sauce. And
don't forget to salt and pepper the turkey slices--it makes a huge
difference." -aem

We're eating a lot of chicken these days. Hubby loves the store
bought roasted chicken, so he buys one a week. I'm getting so that I
prefer my sandwiches plain. I just put a little mayo on the bread
(it's not even toasted), no lettuce or anything else anymore. I don't
even salt or pepper the meat anymore.

Here, the ideal sandwich has turkey (point taken re S & P),
dressing, cranberry sauce, a lettuce leaf, the thinnest spreading
of mayo possible. I haven't decided what the ideal bread is.

Since I am not eating turkey tomorrow, now I want one. Maybe I'll
have it the day after. I'll also beg for a bit of skin....

I never thought of using stuffing in a turkey sandwich. That would be
like having a bread sandwich.

As I have said before, I am not a major fan of turkey. It's good once in
a while, but I tire of it quickly. When faced with leftover turkey
sandwiches I have one with cranberry sauce, one with Dijon mustard, one
with mayo and one turkey salad. If there is any turkey left after that,
I don't want to even see it.

Our turkey sandwiches have the cranberry horseradish relish, homemade
mayonnaise/chipotle mayonnaise (this year I'm trying that celery seed
dressing that was mentioned here, I'm making it up), grainy mustard,
lettuce on the leftover sweet potato rolls, sliced in half.

For years we hosted a day after Thanksgiving feed and game day where
people would bring their leftovers to share with others and we'd set
ours out and we'd talk and eat and drink and play games all day. We'd
usually have 50 or so people come. It was so much fun, but we're still
kind of relieved not to be doing it this year. Just us, my ILs and the
children's godparents with their son. I think the godfather is going to
tie dye shirts with the children and we are going to lay around and eat.

Aw, and here I was thinking that sounded like a lot of fun! Might
also be interesting to mix and match things that folks do with the
leftovers.

Except old people salt their food so heavily! Every meal I've eaten
made by older folks or for older folks has been burn your mouth salty.

That's interesting. I am not getting any younger (surprise!), but
my tolerance for salt seems to have declined. I base that on the
fact that many recipes that I used to make repeatedly and this
jotted down are now too salty for me.

Getting old for sure... but I'm not liking all of those flavors piled
on top of one another anymore. I like to think of it as a refined
taste.

Okay, I'll go with that. :-) I know as I get older I'm fonder of simpler
foods, but I still like many strong flavors. Of course, I don't like
turkey, but I do like chicken sandwiches made with sliced breast, lightly
salted and peppered, with a lettuce leaf and a bit of mayo on good white
bread. I wouldn't mind having some cranberry sauce on the side, but not on
the sandwich, and forget the dressing on the sandwich. As Dave said, a
"bread sandwich"?

My son brought that turkey sandwich made with turkey slices, gravy and
cranberry sauce home from college. I could only stare in amazement.
He made me one and I didn't like it. He still eats cold (right out of
the refrigerator cold) pizza for breakfast too. I will never be able
to eat pizza cold. Can't do it. ugh.

It was tons of fun! The problem is that we moved across the state
from most of our friends this summer, we're still knee deep in unpacking
and rearranging in the new house, we have house projects going, it's 700
square feet smaller than our old house, etc.

It was a great way to get rid of the things that aren't your
favorite, to have a relaxing day because there isn't really any cooking
going on, catch up with friends who were with their families on
Thanksgiving, play, talk, unwind. It is something we will likely revive
once we get things more settled here.

One of my coworkers would bring a turkey sandwich to work; she had
turkey, cornbread dressing and cranberry sauce on the sandwich. She is
the one who would take a couple of months to eat one Hershey bar, eating
one square whenever she felt like it. How crazy is that. lol

Actually in the case of The Maternal Unit, her sense of taste seems to
be sharpening as she ages. Several foods we've been purchasing/eating
regularly for years now are considered too salty by her! Even a few
sweet things have been too sweet for her. Now she gave up smoking
20-plus years ago, so one would have thought the palate would have
improved at that point. Apparently it's still getting better

The way the sale was structured, a reasonable bird for my small
household would have cost more than this giant 17-pounder I came home
with. I'll be looking at turkey scraps all winter. Gonna start by
taking a break - it's Friday, so some simple, light fish dish (I'm
thinking some variant on a puerto rican thing - fried fish/bean
patties, vinegary sauce, coleslaw. A palette cleanser). The creative
repurposing can begin Saturday.

Not only do you have to fake your travel with pictures stolen from the
internet. But neither one of you - you in particular can handle roasting
a chicken. What losers you both are!

Now I get it. You're the BMW salesman who failed to sell them
a vehicle. You're jealous of the Mercedes salesman.
