Turkey sandwich

Iceberg lettuce with Thousand Island dressing, then keeping “pink”, penne with vodka sauce augmented with unorthodox slivered prosciutto. One of my best renditions of this, so am happy to have leftovers for lunch this week.

Dinner the other night - Greek style orzo with King crab, lemon, butter, green onions garlic and Parmesan cheese. Really good!
A few leftover garlic Parmesan chicken wings.

A crazy busy week so far, but we had a great respite in the middle thanks to my team of 5 gathering on Zoom at 4:00 p.m. for certain libations and an online game of JEOPARDY!
I was always great at Trivial Pursuit, so I was glad to see some of the categories: Geography, History, and Random (which is always a crapshoot), but I also surprised myself with a couple of correct answers in Math, Science, and Sports.
I trailed our Accounting Mgr. up until pulling ahead on the second to last question, and then being the only one to get the last question right (both in Science, IIRC). Woo hoo! I won a $25 GC to Amazon. And the promise to do this for our small group of 5 more often.
The libation(s) I enjoyed while playing JEOPARDY! had me not wanting to do a whole lot for dinner, so a sharp Provolone and Prosciutto grilled cheese sandwich worked for me.

Mrs. P repurposed the salumi leftovers from Il Nido this past weekend into a delicious pasta dish 
Also, a few gratuitous photos of Gucci who just got his haircut 
It was a little chilly today so we had to dress him up to keep him warm

In the early 1900’s this all American dessert was given out at Ellis island.

I admire your restraint with that salumi plate. We would have torn that thing up and asked for more bread.

I know. If I didn’t order so much other food I could have made a meal out of that salumi plate. The grilled crispy bread was great too.

Pizza night. Its our favorite and normally an hour round trip turned into a two hour trip because of a bad accident on the parkway. One with “The Works”, the other with mushrooms and onion. There will be leftovers.
There were gin and Lillet martinis.

Tonight was a simple dinner: TJs Burrata, Corn & Basil raviolis with a white wine-lemon cream sauce.
There was wine alongside. Had to finish the bottle, and all that. Right?

I made chicken in black bean sauce with snow peas and carrots, over leftover cauli rice. Side of baby bok choy with sweet soy, butter, and black vinegar.

A frittata with onions and potato and cheese. Every once in a while.
If I’m doing potatoes, I might as well have sour cream.

Well, that lasagna last night took out my tummy as soon as it reached it… 5 mins after I ate.
So today I’m drinking tea and eating toast and rice. No potatoes (my tummy-off favorite) because we are out of the potatoes that I keep ordering and other people keep using up and not reordering because… they don’t eat potatoes? Sorry, bit snippy.
I spent some of the day making my thanksgiving must-haves to freeze and carry to the rental place we are spending next week at. A bit more thought because I made it all vegetarian to be inclusive (even though I’ll most likely be the only one eating any of it… but older kid might want a taste).
So, two kinds of stuffing - in ball form for maximum crunchy bits (the convenient Stovetop I thought was vegetarian had hidden chicken in the ingredient list, so I made a whole second lot from scratch), vegetarian gravy that’s really delicious, and a white gravy (called bread sauce) that’s British not American, but we always have it whenever there is turkey and definitely at thanksgiving (it’s full of butter and cream so what’s not to like).
For the protein, I cooked chicken breasts and chicken thighs sous vide with herbs and butter, and have frozen them. Perfect for the day of - thighs - and leftovers/sandwiches - breasts. Turkey is my least favorite part of the thanksgiving meal, so I’m happy with the substitution.
Also started some no-knead bread to take along.
Back to tonight. Indian night, I made green beans for everyone else but I didn’t take a pic before they were eaten. I nibbled on tempered rice (bad description would be indian fried rice - tempering spices, onion, a bit of tomato, some chilli) that I made earlier - simple but tasty for this kind of situation.

I hope you’re feeling better soon.
I often make stuffing in muffin tins for extra crispiness. A Black Friday favorite is stuffing waffles. Lots of crispy nooks and crannies.
