have a sandwich

November 25, 2011

It’s not Thanksgiving anymore. I’m still in England. You have a massive amount of leftover turkey sitting in your kitchen. These are all probable truths.

You know what I’d do? I’d make a sandwich. Here are some stellar leftover turkey sandwich ideas from the webs. Get your face round one of them. It’ll be mega.

Turkey Cobb Sandwich

Barbecue Pulled-Turkey Sandwiches

Monte Cristo Sandwich

Turkey, Cheddar, and Green Apple Sandwich

Panes con Pavo (Salvadoran Turkey Sandwich)

Quesadillas with Chutney and Brie

Turkey and Cranberry Chutney Sandwich

p.s. My personal favourite simple combo = turkey, cold stuffing, cranberry sauce in between two slices. Chomp.

Still hungry? Have some cake.

happy thanksgiving!

November 23, 2011

As you’re reading this I should be in lovely England, hanging out with my husband, sister, brother, parents, and all manner of other lovely folks. We’re sad to be missing Thanksgiving tomorrow but obviously pretty chuffed to be in the U.K.

I hope your day is full of pie. That is all.

p.s. My first ever Thanksgiving.
