I am actually responding to Seger's warm holiday wish to Taylor in the "messages to Taylor' thread:
If you feel the waistline expanding in a few days, there's always high impact soul aerobics to trim it down again!!
For the rest of us, I've been reading some interesting tips..
- Eat turkey for breakfast
The calories we consume earliest in the day are the easiest to burn off. Instead of a calorie-laden meal at 4 pm, have turkey omelets for brunch...
- Tighten the belt before dinner
If the belt is tighter, you'll feel full sooner.
As for me, I figure it's only once a year, and you have a long weekend ahead to work it off.
Happy feasting!
My favorite part is this.About 8 or 9pm I make myself a turkey sandwitch with stuffing and cranberry sauce,tons a mayo all smashed
between to slices of bread and make myself feel miserable all over
again.
Love Thanksgiving.
HAPPY TURKEY DAY EVERYONE.
I like to make a "leftovers skillet" on Friday morning. Cut up turkey and fry that and all the sides together (putting cinnamon-sugar in the turnip, mmm), use the cranberry sauce as a spread for toast made from leftover Parker House Rolls, and of course apple pie is an excellent breakfast food. My family thinks I'm sick. I say hey, at least I stopped topping it all with fried eggs...
We have Thanksgiving at my sister's and the majority of the leftovers (ie turkey) stays at her house. I'm not much into the leftover turkey anyway - but I love to fry the leftover mashed potato! Yummy!!!
And I don't do cranberry sauce - jelled or otherwise. Ew.

Now is that a blueberry region competition thing ?
I don't eat blueberries either. That's a "know how they are processed" thing.
I love cranberries in any other way, shape or form - just not the jelled/sauce version.
I have a great leftover turkey recipe for Turkey Enchaladas. They are filled with turkey (can use chicken), spinach and cream cheese. If anyone has alot of left over turkey and would like the recipe, let me know.
Well, I love cranberries. While I serve canned jellied cranberries, I also make cranberry applesauce. The way my house smells when I make it is wonderful. And the deep red color looks beautiful on the Thanksgiving table.
Sound like Martha Stewart, don't I?
