Thursday, just the wife and I.
A 12 pound Turkey roasted with a bag of very lightly seasoned stuffing inside it, the stuffing prepared beforehand with a little water and a quarter pound of butter melted in.
Gravy out of a jar.
24 ozs of canned yams prepared with nearly a quarter pound of butter and 2/3 cup of brown sugar and cinnamon to taste, sprinkled with crushed pecans.
Tasty.
Leftovers packed for the fridge, white and dark meat, and also stuffing, in separate baking dishes, moistened with stock made fresh from the neck and giblets (not the liver), covered with aluminum foil.
Leftover yams packed in a sealed plastic container.
Friday, again just we two.
Leftovers nuked.
Saturday, the big meal with the kids and grandchildren.
Meat and stuffing heated in the oven in those baking dishes.
Another can of yams prepared as above, to go with the leftovers, all of it heated in a big orange frying pan.
Hawaiian rolls and butter.
Instant mashed potatoes prepared with light mayonnaise, and nuked frozen niblets.
Shiraz and Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Giant Eagle pumpkin and apple pies.
Redi-Whip and crushed pecans applied.
The chardonnay was great with the meal.
The shiraz was splendid with the pies, and after.
Making good memories to enjoy when things are not so good, as Epicurus recommends.
Or any time.
