THANKSGIVING LEFTOVERS MAKE FOR A NICE CLUB SANDWICH

Too many leftovers as usual after a Thanksgiving dinner. Barb boiled some turkey bones so I had a nice soup with small noodles for dinner last night along with some peas, brussel sprouts and mashed potatoes. Of course, I made a traditional club sandwich with bacon and 3 slices of bread with some turkey slices. If I have to eat leftovers, it is good to fancy it up. Besides a club house sandwich is one of my favourite items to order for a simple lunch when eating out at a restaurant. I'll have one more meal of leftover turkey then I want a nice meat sauce with pasta again. This Italian cook loves his pasta.

THANKSGIVING NEEDS A LITTLE ITALIAN FLAIR

Thanksgiving is Barb's time to shine in the kitchen. I help with the vegetables- wash and peel the potatoes, make the rapini, wash and cook the brussel sprouts and once the turkey is done- I carve it. The rest is up to Barb. She likes all those Canadian vegetables like peas, squash, sweet potato and the cranberry sauce., of course her bread stuffing!
I also like to add some fried mushrooms to the meal. Cooked with some garlic in olive oil, they are tasty the way my mother used to make them. I know, I said it was Barb's meal but someone has to be in the kitchen supervising her!
