Get ready to start the slow waddle into 2021...mid year Turkey Day and Christmas in July. I already bought my mid year supplies since the stuffing I like is only available now. I have 3 crockpots and a turkey fryer kettle brewing away making stock to freeze.
UPDATE: 1st Thanksgiving in quite awhile I didnt burn the roll bottoms. Kids were overjoyed and I have overcome a life hurdle!
Slow waddle may be the phrase I will forever more use to describe 2020! LOL! And congrats on not burning the bottoms of the rolls! I used the kind from the freezer but they never rose and were very dense, they still tasted good, but not a hit.
 
I am so excited to be here at the beginning and I am looking forward to each milestone. My Thanksgiving was enjoyable but I am still soaking the roaster pan, the glaze I put on the turkey breast is really stuck on there. I am going to tackle it before dinner. So happy to be here!

Sometimes you need to just call it quits and splurge on a new pan. Had a ham do it once to me.

And today would be the day to do it, I have seen some pretty good sales on pots and pans online!
 
DAYS TILL THANKSGIVING: 362
DAYS TILL NOVEMBER: 338
DAYS TILL THE BERS: 277


Happy Thanksgiving Weekend! Here we go folks as we continue really the "leftovers" of Thanksgiving 2020 and yet have started our Thanksgiving 2021 countdown at the same time. Pretty awesome. We have 362 days left until Thanksgiving (that's bigger than my turkey), 338 days left until November & 277 days left until The Bers. Of course, technically we're still in November and The Bers but we know this is a very different time of year now we're in. We're in the holiday season folks. It's wonderful. It's different. I did some shopping yesterday. And today? I have my leftover Thanksgiving meal. I'm so happy for that. I think sometimes, in an odd way, it tastes better when you heat it up the first time as leftovers. Our next (and 1st) milestone is on Tuesday when we welcome in the arrival of December (the 1st of 11 months on our journey back to November). Have a great Thanksgiving Weekend!​
 
Next week is going to be awesome for milestone days. I have two that I am watching for our Halloween 21' countdown! It makes my heart happy to always be counting down to something!
 
I will be finishing up the Thanksgiving leftovers today and will be glad they are gone. They are delicious for sure, but after a while I feel like I'm shoveling too much down my gullet. We finished off the mac and cheese yesterday and it was a relief.

Speaking of, the brie didn't work out for the mac and cheese. I wasn't used to removing the rind, and I kind of messed it up. Instead, my wife ran to the store and picked up a smoked gouda and saved the day. We'll try again with the brie for Christmas.

I messed up my Butternut Squash Mac and Cheese and did something wrong when I added the shredded sharp cheddar and instead of melting in smoothly, it clumped and the oil separated. I was disappointed because the flavor seemed like it would have been good, but by the time it cooled it was a lumpy mess, luckily everything else was good and there was plenty to go around.
 
We still have plenty of leftovers. And I just love them. They might be gone by midweek.

Did you use the pre shredded stuff? That stuff is so dry it always either clumps or has no taste. I just buy blocks now and use the old shred box. Guess they make the pre shredded dry so it doesnt clump.

Technically, I didn't shred it, it was more cubed, although now that you mention it the block did seem crumbly/dry when I cubed it, I thought that maybe I had cooked in at too high of a temperature. The recipe did specifically call for the cheese to be shredded so maybe the larger chunks was where I went wrong.
