Glass of South African Sauvignon Blanc which was so-so.

Big salad night, only with a twist: leftover turkey! Also used blue cheese dressing for a change. And the avocado was perfect.

Monday December 1, 2008 Dinner
Well, okay, so what if I didn't cook a turkey for Thanksgiving? So what if I went to a upscale restaurant and pigged out on the buffet line? That does not mean I can't enjoy a leftover turkey sandwich. I cheated. I roasted a turkey breast just so I could have leftovers. And then I made a nice turkey sandwich.
Roast Turkey Breast
- 1 split turkey breast (about 2.5 pounds), bone in
- rubbed with olive oil
- inserted two twigs of rosemary under the skin
- inserted 5 peeled cloves of garlic under the skin
- coarse sea salt and generous pepper
- roasted at 375 for 1.5 hours
Cooked, then cooled overnight in the refrigerator. Thin slices of turkey on whole grain bread with coarse mustard, mayo, red onion and cheddar cheese. Along with a home-brewed IPA and a handful (or two) of Fritos, it was just plain tasty.

Reprised the cheese & fruit from Friday. Changes: mango instead of pear, no avocado.

Had a half-rack of ribs with mashed taters and sauted mushrooms at a chain outfit known for its appeal to college-aged kids. Okay, but not fabulous.
Friday November 28, 2008 Dinner
A classic around our house: cheese, fruit, and other finger foods.
There was:
- a lovely huntsman (layered cheddar & blue)
- a peppered brie
- an aged gouda which was delightful
- pear
- pomegranate
- assorted olives
- dates
- avocado
- table water crackers
And old fashions & a cheese danish for dessert.
Thursday November 27, 2008 Dinner
Had a Thanksgiving feast at a local upscale restaurant's buffet. It was lovely. Of particular enjoyment: the candied ham, the creamed spinach, the Greek salad with shrimp. This place also is famous for one of my favorite desserts, a flourless chocolate torte. OMG. Drool.
There will be no leftovers, sadly, but also no cleaning up.
