That sounds interesting. What goes on that? Leftover gravy? Cranberries!

Even if we broke them down and put all the parts in one box then I still dont think I would be interested in that Mrs. Potaoehead.

When you know that nobody wants to come eat your crappy dinner anyway.

You write an article like this!

Experts?
Lol, that doesn’t mean a damn thing any more.
Screw their trained monkeys.
I do what I want . Their asses aren’t shopping, cooking, cleaning and herding family and friends, and that doesn’t include Church functions at this time.
They can eat bugs.

As long as I paid for the food, it is none of your business if I eat it or throw it in the trash.

What about crime committed by illegals? Isn’t that causing more harm?

There is no waste here. I’ll send out leftovers out with family, the carcass, potato peelings and anything else the dogs and I don’t want goes in the woods by the deck for possums and racoons.

I’ve seen these sandwiches offered at Starbucks - but I haven’t been in a Starbucks in years so I have no idea if they still sell them. If they did, they’d likely be small and over $10!

Better made at home.

Try the burritos too -turkey, cranberry sauce and stuffing all rolled up in a tortilla. Kids love it.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

I’ve never tried them in a burrito, but that does sound fun! We usually use sourdough or focaccia.

Yep.

I’m less worried about the world we are leaving for the next generation than the next generation we are leaving for the world.

I am not sponsoring Thanksgiving currently, so I do not have to plan for a month's worth of Winter Turkey recipies!

Along those lines we just bought a rotisserie chicken that lasted 4 meals and was turned into Bone Broth which then became 2 meals with Chicken Gumbo. 3 Days based on a $6 chicken. Of course we are not just eating that chicken and have other things, but Its a good frugal approach to meal planning and its does not last so long that you get sick of it!

As you say, there will be a certain amount of food left over & wasted. Can’t be helped some of the time unless you could exactly know the amount each person would eat. I don’t think many folks would want to pick up someone else’s leftovers either. If you save them to eat yourself, they may go forgotten in the fridge until it is no longer safe to eat. Had this happen a lot of times, but then again, I was also able to salvage the situation many times as well.
