That this is a topic In the Examiner is itself significant I think.

Same yesterday and even more so today. "Sweater weather". I'm keeping the heat off to save money.
I have some remaining turkey and sides as well so probably do leftovers later today or tomorrow. My friends left me the breast bone so I'll add it to my other turkey bones in the freezer to make stock.

🍜 #Dinner

Carved turkey (off the bone), stuffing, homemade skin on mashed potatoes, gravy, carrots, cauliflower and broccoli. I served whole cranberry sauce on the side.
A friend provided the turkey and gravy. The whole meal was incredible, like celebrating Thanksgiving Day in Apri.
