You are up early DQ. Morning!!

After my party yesterday, we got got home fairly early. Got some yard work done; and, grazed for dinner. Some cheese/cracker, veggies/dip. Nothing exciting.

Today ...
Ladies #1 and #2: Since they had no turkey for leftovers (they ate at friends); they both wanted leftover turkey. So, roasting them each a small boneless turkey breast (no recipe, just s/p, herb butter), so they can have leftovers for sandwiches w/side of peach cranberry chutney (from our local farmers market); roasted rosemary butternut squash; kale salad w/dried peaches and candied walnuts.

Me: Greek grilled shrimp; grilled acorn squash; cucumber salad.

Hi Kim.
VVN looking shrimp dinner -- a great fan of prawns!!!
Turkey not my fav - prefer chicken -- like your way, roasted with just butter and seasoning --- cold chicken with just a Little salt is magic. Have a great day and evening, cheers.

A definite shrimp fan here!! Since turkey breast is a bit drier; the herb butter under the skin really helps. Cold chicken and salt ... I bet that would be delicious!

Something my Mom and I did every Thanksgiving ... She would make a herb mayo (just dried herbs back then). And we would dip cold turkey into the mayo late at night watching movies and snack. I know, NOT HEALTHY! Childhood memories!
