The Morning After

We recovered at the Lodge for brunch, but I guess it was lunch. The 2 for 1 Bloody Marys did us well. We saw the Batmobile on the way home. Rusty ended up making another ham.

Ike’s first Thanksgiving

The biggest day of the year for foodbloggin. I was hoping to re-enact the new Vince Vaugh/Reese Witherspoon movie “4 Christmases” and have “4 Thanksgivingses”. Realistically it wasn’t going to happen with all the turkey and liquor… plus I hadn’t seen the movie and don’t know all the crazy comic antics. Went with the party at Sam’s and it was surely a feast. So much food. Maybe next time half the people need to be randomly banned from bringing anything.

Party Prep – Thanksgiving 08′

Another recipe that came into my dreams the night before the party –Six Layer Potato & Green Bean Casserole. 1) layer pit of mashed potaters. 2) layer of green bean casserole. 3) layer of asparagus stalks. 4) layer of scallop potatoes. 5) layer of crumbled chips and green onions. 6) garnish with pimento stuffed olives.

The original plan had seven layers with tator tots, but couldn’t figure where to put them. Maybe on the side next to the olives, seasoned with furikake. Got it!

Thanksgiving in a Sandwich

I walked in on Kevin at work and his lunch smelled pretty dang good. He points me towards Cosi where they have Thanksgiving in a sandwich. I don’t even know if it’s on the menu. I just told them to make me one. It’s turkey, cranberry sauce & stuffing. It seems to be missing some mashed tators, gravy and pumpkin pie.

Miracle on 18th St.

Walking around and looking for something good for lunch. There’s a lunch truck with a sign for tacos. My visions manifest like “The Secret.” Lately I’ve been dreaming about being rich and having new pants. Then I go to Uniqlo to try on some new pants and there was a $5 bill in the pocket! …paid for my tacos. Believe.

Hell’s Kitchen

Rusty and I make our respective dinners and enjoy it during Kitchen Nightmares. Fried pork chops & mashed tators for Russ and beer steamed salmon w/ bak choy for me. Look at my meal. I don’t know if Chef Ramsey would approve.

Curry Goat Roti

Got the urge for curry goat roti after trying a co-workers’ a while back and recently seeing it on one of my fav food blogs. Really tasty. I have half of it left for tomorrow’s lunch. Can’t wait to go to work.
