Turkey officially moved to the fridge.

The Bride makes her stuffing with some ground up linguica . Its the Portuguese in us. It’s delicious.

My dad makes Portuguese stuffing with linguica too.

Some of y'all have way fancier tastes than me. I'm fine with Stove Top drowned in gravy

From Thanksgiving to about Xmas I get on a Pilgrim sandwich addiction and make boxed Stove Top for them every couple of days - still love it, wife makes fun of me for liking the boxed stuffing more than 'real' stuffing.

I end up eating turkey breast, box of stuffing, jarred gravy, and jellied cranberry sauce for about a month straight then refuse to even look at turkey again until the following Thanksgiving. Thankfully we do ham at Xmas and a roast at Easter.

The only thing I miss about not cooking a turkey on Thanksgiving is missing out on leftover turkey sandwiches the next couple days.

My dad used to be in charge of the cheese/ pickles/cranberry sauce platter every year. Cheese had to be Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Cheddar, cut into precise cubes. He was the king of being precise lol. Cranberry sauce was straight out of the can, sliced. I only ever ate the cheese. I have the glass platter that we used. Last year I used it as my plate it was perfect with compartments for everything. Hey, when you're single you can do what ya want!

That plate sounds like my family. My grandparents always put out Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Cheddar (sliced, not cubed; cubes are too complicated haha), crackers, cranberry sauce from a can, and both black & green olives. We have continued that tradition, though we've added port wine cheese to the set.

Until my niece came along I was the only one in the family that ate the green olives, ever. Yet every year there was a jar opened and put out.

I like to make a leftover crescent ring. Mashed, turkey, stuffing, cranberry, and a big bowl of gravy in the middle for dipping

I was trying to remember if we did both green olives and pickles and now I can't remember for sure. Probably because I hate both lol.

Anyway, this is the platter and every time I use it I can picture my dad putting everything together on it. One of my favorite Thanksgiving memories

I will devour a Pilgrim sandwich anytime of year.

That's what I'm making. I wish I could remember my grandmother's recipe, she used the turkey gizzards.

I've always loved the leftovers more than the meal. I gorge on turkey w/fixings, turkey sandwiches and turkey pie (no turkey soup. I can't stand it) until New Year's Day.

It’s super easy.

We also make leftover Thanksgiving pizza using a thin layer of cranberry as the sauce.

Our doorbell just rang, it was a woman asking where we got these poppies. I found the website for her, she was so happy. It made me feel good, just connecting with random people can be so beautiful.

Is it me or does this look like an old carnival shooter game.
