Well, the largest day for retail meat has come and gone, and mine was just fine, thanks for asking. My shop didn't move many cases of birds this year, but I'm not all that concerned. Turkeys are generally a loss leader, so I tried really hard to push my ham and beef roast sales.

Last night my in laws came into town to stay with us, so I made a pot of beef bourgeonon that simmered while I cleaned and waited for them. This morning I cooked AB's Sweet Potato Waffles. My family is definitly a tradional type. We always have a late-lunch meal, with turkey (hen's only. If more turkey is needed we'll buy a second breast or a second hen), my mom's savory, sage-y bread stuffing, mashed potatoes, Waldorf Salad, a scalloped corn pudding, pumpkin pie, etc. Lots of wine (Veramonte Sauvignon Blanc was a tasty, budget friendly Chilean wine served).
