Our turkey day buffet at Ophelia's was great!! Rooms I had never seen in the restaurant were filled with tables and people!! A long set of buffet tables were filled with delicious foods ... the dessert table was to die for.
Anyway... we all enjoyed ourselves. I wish I had been "allowed" by my family to take pictures but am determined to take them at Christmas! We enjoyed being together... lots of "Happy Thanksgiving"s. I am thankful for it all!!
I took a long nap when we got home... the Moscow Mule and all that food.. did me in!
Today ?? probably a quiet day...
The thought of not having turkey sandwiches for leftovers enticed me to buy our own turkey during the sales. It currently sits.. a frozen lump.. in the freezer. I think the thawing process will start next weekend.We won't have all the trimmings etc... but we will enjoy turkey and then TURKEY sandwiches . I remember years of turkey sandwiches with Hellman's mayo and lettuce of Pepperidge farm white bread. Also remember years of my m-i-l's 7 day "soup" which had everything in from mashed potatoes, stuffing, gravy, turkey from de-boning the bird etc. Even my kids shudder at the memories.
She was a good cook but could not bear not to use up everything ... the result of living during the depression when she was young and always having to stretch things as an adult.
