The week after Thanksgiving.  It seems like I shouldn’t have to think about cooking “normal” food so soon after a grand holiday feast but, as they say, life goes on.  I’m leaving meal 7 unplanned since I have a suspicion we might run out of room in the fridge at some point and need to add in an extra leftover night.  But I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it!  (I ended up planning cottage pie to use up the leftover mashed potatoes.)

Since I don’t eat pasta anymore, I’m going to try to make tetrazzini as a sauce this time and see how that works.  Fingers crossed!

I’m working on clearing out both of the freezers, but the chest freezer in particular.  I’ve got a number of random leftovers in there that I want to clear out and I’d like to be able to defrost the thing at some point in the near future.  I also really need to start making beef broth at some point as we got a HUGE number of beef bones with the last cow from the farm.  Sadly this is one of those things that takes quite a bit of time and time isn’t something I have a copious amount of anymore.
