I love the ^%#@ out of Thanksgiving leftovers!!!

[Zomby Woof]

Goddamn, a turkey sandwich, some stuffing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, and a slice each of the two pies I made for yesterday (they turned out great!!!!) sounds like a really great lunch.

I had a great day with my AZ family yesterday - ALL DUers!!! No discussion about politics could go wrong (being that none of us would dream of voting for Dean, for example :evilgrin: ) We watched movies instead of moronic football games, and appreciated a pale crescent moon rise after a beautiful sunset over the red rocks of central Arizona.

Anyone else love the ^#^#%@ out of Thanksgiving leftovers? :D

3. What Kind Of Pie Did You Make

to go with that Zomby Coffee?

ME- I like mince best.


I prefer pumpkin/squash as a pudding....

[Zomby Woof]

5. oooooooooo!

Two recipes I culled from my Jack Daniel's Spirit of Tennessee Cookbook:

Jack Daniel's Pumpkin Pie, and Jack Daniel's Chocolate Chip Pecan Pie! :P :D

9. Fess up now. Who made that turkey, stuffing, gravy, etc?

Was it the Zombster? or someone Angelic?

Pass the biscuits, please. More peas, more gravy, dark meat over here, gimmee that styffing, got some more squash? What kinda leftover pie for dessert?

And what's the zOmmBie bLeNd fOr lEfToveR dAy?

[Zomby Woof]

12. Angelic!

;-)

The only dish I contributed besides the pies was the green bean casserole. So you-know-who made a FANTASTIC dinner! :-)

Why, it's ZombyCoffee Leftover Blend! :donut:

[ZenLefty]

10. Leftover Day is my 2nd favorite alternative holiday

second only to Gain an Hour Day. :D

[Zomby Woof]

13. Wait!

I thought ZenLefty Day was your favorite Alternative Holiday! Or did you concede that "ZombyWoof Eve" was a better name for it?

We don't have that new-fangled Daylight Savings in AZ, so I will never celebrate Gain An Hour Day ever again, and my 14 clocks and watches thank me. :D

[ZenLefty]

15. ZenLefty Day is *not* an 'alternative' holiday

Blasphemer! There is no alternative to ZenLefty Day. No Velveeta & Bacos Toast for you this year. :P

[Zomby Woof]

18. Dammit!

I guess if I pour Canadian Club on my Cheerios, Don Cherry will have my ass too! :o

[bratcatinok]

14. I love the day after!

On Thanksgiving day everything is focused on having the one big meal but the day after is different.

For breakfast I had cold cheese grits with a brownie chaser.

For lunch I had lots of cornbread dressing, a devilled egg and a slice of pumpkin pie.

Snacks have been a piece of ham or turkey, a few olives and 2 leftover clover rolls.

Hmmm, what to have next!

[wtmusic]

16. Thank God for the Microwave Oven

and TG leftovers!!

:-)

[Kamika]

17. Yeah I do

I been snacking all day.. need to workout some when I get home..

All us pre 30s have had a blast, swimming and playing tons of ps2, unfortunately my freeper cousin beat the hell out of me in his wrestling game

[GOPisEvil]

19. Turkey enchiladas!!!!!

Green chile sauce and a 4-cheese blend! It's for dinner tonight! :9

[SOteric]

20. Turkey Mole.

To die for.

[GOPisEvil]

21. I don't have the hours necessary to properly make a mole.

And, I refuse to buy pre-made mole. :puke:

So, green chile sauce it is!

[SOteric]

22. Fair enough.

And true dat. You should run like a gazelle in the forest in the opposite direction of anything claiming to be mole that comes from a supermarket.

[GOPisEvil]

23. There are very few places I will eat mole.

Maybe 2. Unless I make it myself. But mine turns out slightly different each time. :shrug:
