My wife is traveling overnight tonight, NYC to Japan, so we wanted something simple and unchallenging (ie not spicy or oily) before her long flights.

Steamed everything in my lg steamer along with the dumplings: broccoli, yellow bell pepper, carrots, onions, mushrooms and garlic. I added butter beans and tossed everything with garlic sesame sauce when veggies were done. Hot oolong tea with lemon. Cheers! 🥂

(99 cents a pound, saving $3.00 a pound).

Roasted all with Herbes de Provence.

Saving bones for turkey stock and later, cream of turkey soup.

One happy girl here.

9. Monte Cristo Sandwiches

I made a ham & bean soup yesterday for dinner.
There was some left, but not enough for 2 of us to make a meal of it.
So, I made the sandwiches with Italian bread, used 3 parts milk to 1 part heavy cream, plus the eggs & a little flour.
Vanilla, cinnamon & sugar for flavor.
Made the French toast first, the put slices of baked ham, Swiss cheese & a tomato on the bread. Tossed it in the oven at 300° until the cheese got "melty".
We have 3 half-samdwiches left. Put those in foil. I have to sub at least twice this week, so lunch is handled.

with gravy, stuffing, cranberries, and the rest of the beans on the side.

Right now, I'm in the process of canning 20 pints of stock - the real reason I like to host the dinner

Making and processing a turkey is so much work. Bone stock is great to have around.

for canning it, though. I froze mine.

and not much freezer space (and in my 100+ year old home with the 100+ year old wiring there's no place to put a big freezer) so I can, when I can.
