leftover turkey & sweet potato hash

It's two days past Thanksgiving now.  The oven is bare and chilly in its state of dormancy, the table is folded and stowed in the closet (yes, I said closet. we break out our thrift store card table along with our finest crystal for special occasions like these), and the fridge is full to bursting with remnants of our Thursday feast.

In typical post-Thanksgiving fashion, we've been reliving that special meal with plates full of the leftover dishes we prepared that day.  And we're relishing in the fact that dinner is basically already prepared, should we feel inclined to laze around a bit more than a usual night allows us.

Leftover Turkey

Well, Thanksgiving turned out to be a success.  Friends were gathered, glasses were raised, bellies were full, and good times were had.

We have so much left over pie.  Good thing I'm a serious pie lover.

To Brine or not to Brine

That is the state of my herb garden today.  Yesterday's snow turned out to be an actual storm, and I got to have the day off as a result.  By the number of sledders I saw at the park earlier, so did a lot of other school kids.

What I should be doing with this extra time is working on school projects... I have plenty to do, for sure.  But what I'm actually doing is taking walks with my camera and doing laundry and thinking and planning for Thursday.  In case you reside on some other planet (or perhaps in some other country), this Thursday happens to be Thanksgiving.
