The leftovers after Thanksgiving are a big part of the holiday. I recall one time before retirement. We had a full house of family and friends for Thankgiving dinner; it was great. The following day I went to the refrigerator to get fixings for a Turkey sandwich. There was none. Libby was so generous that she gave the leftovers away to our guests to take home. I wasn't happy. This year she made up for that; here's how.

We went to the cruiser's pot-luck Thanksgiving dinner. It was great, but of course we returned home with no leftovers. On Black Friday Libby went shopping; not to the mall but to the grocery store. She was looking for turkey on sale. She came home with a six pound turkey breast.

We cooked it in the oven Friday night. I carved it. Man oh man what a breast. This must have been the Dolly Parton of turkeys. We had lots of meat. We had turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, and cranberry for dinner that night. Yum yum. In the following days we had turkey sandwiches and turkey soup. We invited Derek from the rafted boat next to us for hot turkey over biscuts with gravy. Yum yum yum. I think I'll be able to have turkey sandwiches for lunch every day this week. I'm happy now.
