For the day after Thanksgiving I used to love cold turkey sandwiches with mustard on nice, thick slices of bread.

I'm not sure if that's a reference to its use in recipes, or if it means it constipates you. ;D

At my first reporting job, where I was making like $110 a week, one of my standard dinners was generic pasta topped with cream-of-mushroom soup. It actually wasn't too bad.

I spent several HOURS on Thursday ordering groceries for Thanksgiving week, picking them up yesterday. One thing the store didn't have and didn't even have a substitute, was carrots. Carrots!

That does sound pretty good.
I wonder how something like cream of broccoli would work? I guess I ought to try that sometime.

For Thanksgiving dinner, my dad and I will be having grilled turkey cutlets, filling/stuffing/dressing with turkey gravy, and a baked sweet potato. There maybe be biscuits as well. The vegetable and dessert have not yet been determined.
In the possibility that I may not be traveling to my dad's after all, when I went to the supermarket yesterday I bought a couple of thick slices of roasted turkey breast at the deli counter, and I found some already prepared filling/stuffing/dressing. I had to go to another store to find gravy, and I had to settle for some not-very-good canned stuff. I will put the gravy in a sauce pan, then put the sliced turkey in the gravy, and heat the turkey while I heat the gravy. I have several varieties of vegetables in the freezer, though I will probably have corn (which everybody knows is really a grain, not a vegetable). If I find I am not going to my dad's, I may try to find some biscuits. Dessert has yet to be determined.
