Leftovers

I'm really kicking myself for not bringing home more leftovers from my mom's house but everything was a real pain in the ass to pack up.

On Saturday, we made turkey sammiches with stuffing, cranberry sauce and had some other goodies on the side like roasted brussel sprouts with sliced shallot. The brussel sprouts took the longest so I started by trimming the outter leaves and stubby end first. Slice them in half and give them a good wash. I then sliced up some shallot and combined the brussel sprouts together with some olive oil, salt and pepper. You really can't go wrong with something so simple. Everything gets placed in a baking dish, spread out into a thin layer and into a 400 degree oven for about 30-40 minutes.
OK, I guess I forgot to take a picture of how they came out. Sorry guys, my stomach was in control here. But hey, at least you get a picture of my turkey sandwich with all the fixins. I put a thin layer of cranberry sauce on the bun, layered on zapped turkey, gravy and stuffing. Ohhh yeah, tell me that doesn't at least sound good! Look, I even took a bite to show you the innards of my sammich.

I got to celebrate thanksgiving with a 103 fever ... this is the first year since I've been to the US that I didn't do anything at all that day but sleep. Then my wonderful loving brother makes me feel all guilty for not spending time with him, so I drag myself out of bed, body aching, and go to Alcatraz the next day ... I missed out on some of the best Egyptian food and deserts :(

no leftovers either; it was a huge 3 family affair at someone else's place and no one brought me back anything ...

Helmi - I'm sorry to hear that! But didn't you go skiing earlier in the month which could've contributed to your fever? Yah.. instead of eating lotsa good foods with me! Anyway, I hope you feel better :) We need to have lunch or dinner soon.
