I'd marry her this minute if she only would agree

I had a small but very successful Thanksgiving with my parents, with both of my husbands, and with nineweaving. I have been supplied with all the ingredients for a turkey terrific and a whole lot of apple crumble that doesn't need to be reconstructed into anything except me. My mother taped the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. I leaned back into rushthatspeaks while we talked books and movies and theatrical stories. The photo was taken by spatch for selkie in condolence for the stressors of her holiday for which she was not the responsible party. The Sallust is from 1886, but I work with what I've got.

Aw, nice.

Thank you!

What is turkey terrific? I mean, a specific recipe or just, "Look! turkey! it's terrific!"?

It's a sandwich! Originally a specialty of a local deli and one year my family just started making them ourselves. You toast the stuffing onto the bread, put the cranberry sauce on one side and the warmed turkey on the other, slap the whole thing together and should probably use toothpicks to preserve the structural integrity, but we never have. It's one of the rare foods that I actually eat seasonally. I've never had one that wasn't in the days immediately after Thanksgiving. [edit] It's what I had for dinner tonight. Turns out it works on raisin bread, too.

Ohhh. That sounds really good. Have to try it next year. (For sandwiches, which are de rigeur, we do sourdough, turkey, gravy, and sometimes stuffing, plus lettuce.)
