What's your favorite thing about the day after Thanksgiving?

[Redstone]

Mine: Being able to eat a breakfast that consists of fried leftover dressing / stuffing, with gravy, and nobody gives me a hard time about it.

(Funny how, down South, biscuits & gravy is a perfectly respectable breakfast, but there seems to be an anti-gravy-at-breakfast prejudicde here in the Northeast.)

So: What are your favorite leftovers? Here in New England, it's sandwiches, either of ham salad, or of turkey with dressing and a slab of cranberry sauce (never one of my favorites).

This being the Lounge, I'm sure I'll want to try at least of the favorites you guys post.

1. A day off, and leftovers. College football, too, and being a total bum.

Works for me. I am doing absolutely nothing today, and loving it.

[Redstone]

2. But what are you eating while you're doing that? I started this thread

to find out how you're satisfying your gullet while you're watching those games.

6. Leftovers. Actually, had a gyros for lunch, but it will be leftovers for dinner.

I am so fat today. . .

7. coffee and pumpkin pie both with whipped cream for breakfast

leftover everything hot for "lunch"

cold turkey, swiss, last homegrown tomato, lettuce, mayo on homemade french bread with potato chips and cola later on or for dinner.

eventually: turkey enchilada casserole (or tacos, tostadas, green chili chimichangas), soup, croquettes if it lasts that long.

grazing all weekend on the side dishes (waldorf salad, peas and pearl onions, sweet potatoes, mashed white potatoes and gravy, rolls, fresh cranberry sauce, pickles, olives etc etc)

8. "Last homegrown tomato." You must live pretty far South, I ate mine over a

month ago. What a treat it would be to have even that one last tomato available at Thanksgiving.

9. last year we had a couple make it to Christmas!

it took covering and a heat lamp, but we did it :rofl:

this year frost got the plants fast early this month but a few fruits managed to hang on and we have three for sandwiches

pretty far south, yes - south eastern AZ, but 4500 ft elevation - got into the lower 20's last night and we almost froze pipes, but I caught it about 2:30 AM and got them running again, left the drip a little faster than we had when we went to bed. Supposed to get to 18 Monday night.

10. Pumpkin pie for breakfast.

11. The usual

Turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy. Had a big lunch with Mrs. Crazy and then we flopped down and watched Godfather I.

12. My favorite thing is all the leftover desserts from Thanksgiving dinner.

In just a few minutes, I'll be having some of the turkey frame soup that is just finishing up. This year I made it with veggies and homemade egg noodles. I'm just letting it rest for a few minutes so I don't burn all the hair off my tongue and to let the flavors really develop.

13. Leftovers & Football

Tradition was open-faced turkey melt sandwiches (on rye bread, with Durkee's mustard, gravy and havarti or muenster chz) with my Dad while we watched Nebraska play football, first Oklahoma and lately, Colorado.

My Dad has passed on, 5 yrs now, and today is the last time both Nebraska and Colorado play each other in the Big 12. I deep fried the turkey this year so I didn't have gravy, but I enjoyed my sandwich and my Dad would be enjoying how his beloved Huskers are playing today.

Happy Thanksgiving weekend, everyone!

14. Christmas decorating

15. I won't have to eat turkey for another year.

[old mark]

16. Had NO leftovers today - we went visiting for Thanksgiving, had OUR

turkey etc dinner today at noon - back to bed, reading and napping except to eat more and feed the pets their turkey dinners, too.

It is now 5:20 PM and I have yet to get dressed today...

Have a great weekend planned - doing as little as possible.

;)

17. Apple pie for breakfast

and staying away from the malls. And doing abso-freaking-lutely nothing. (But this year I've been cranking to get to 50,000 words by Monday to finish National Novel Writing Month--got quite a lot done today, in fact.)
