Thanksgiving leftovers & apart from some toast for breakfast we've only just had one plate each of rewarmed leftovers today for a late lunch, plus some pie that we've just had.  I still feel like I'm going to explode!  Not sure I'm going to be having anything else today.  :P

Bratwurst (found at tesco, omg!), "thanksgiving squeak", and cabbage.

And yet more pumpkin pie for dessert...

(yesterday we cleverly used up a bunch of thanksgiving leftovers in a cream of turkey corn soup. Creamed corn just went straight in!)

I think it'll be some sort of tuna noodle action. Or mac and cheese. Tomorrow I'm making my famous chili.
When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

Mmmm.

I'm stuffed as I had both pasta and steamed veggies, plus the last of the split pea soup from last night.  Hubby had a bowl of the pea soup with those Italian "saltines" crumbled up and sprinkled on top.

Spicy sweet potato & pumpkin soup, with wholemeal bread rolls.  (I used a tin of Libbys pumpkin puree, rather than a whole pumpkin, and put in a couple more sweet potatoes because they were small & more chili flakes.)

We are going out for Italian food for DH's birthday! Fortunately the place is here in our village within walking distance and the paths seem to be thawing out.  ;)

In order to make things run a bit smoother on the website really large threads should be cut back a bit.  So we bring you the new what's for tea thread!
