MONDAY FOOD POST - NO RECIPE TODAY

We have been eating a lot of leftovers since Thanksgiving, everything enjoyed but not one single recipe made to share today.  Instead I found this poem. 



“Recipe”

I didn't have potatoes,
So I substituted rice.
Didn't have Paprika,
So I used another spice.

I didn't have tomato sauce,
So I used tomato paste,
A whole can not a half can,
I don't believe in waste.

My friend gave me the recipe,
She said you couldn't beat it,
There must be something wrong with her,
I couldn't even eat it!


(Hmmm...... I have been on both sides of that table.) 

Thanks for looking and have a great day!

  6. We have not been enjoying any leftovers, Denise, as we were not home for Thanksgiving and also there was no turkey dinner. It is nice to have leftovers with no cooking needed for a few days!

  8. That vintage Thanksgiving photo is so cute. I've always liked the vintage cards - my sister introduced them to ma many years ago, and ever since then, I was hooked.

    Enjoy this Christmas season, Denise.

  10. I relate to the poem. If you've ever been on Pinterest, I'm always amazed at the ways people change recipes and then give a bad review! I don't think Bob wants me to put turkey on the menu for quite awhile....

    1. Hi Barb, I go to Pinterest to find recipes sometimes. I have to say, even though we enjoyed our turkey, we are happy to have it once a year on Thanksgiving. Gregg would probably have the same mind as Bob :)

    2. I came back after a visit to your blog. As your comments were closed I just wanted to say what a wonderful opportunity for Ben to see Norway. It’s sweet to hear how his love for photography came about. He will take some amazing ones where he is right now, and he is very wise not to share locations. All his photos are magnificent, but I so enjoyed the one of the moose, the eagle and the fox and I thank you both for sharing your photos with us out here. I know you bring a lot of smiles.

  14. Me, too. Funny but true tale...my friend was telling me what she was making. She called it Italian beef. I asked how she made it and it did not sound good to me, but I told her the next time she made it to save me a taste of it. She did, and it is now one of our favorite meals.
