Reporting back that my Effie's Homemade Gruyere Biscuits arrived and I tore into them immediately. I could easily sit and eat the entire box with nothing on them. They are so peppery and so good. I can taste a hint of gruyere, but the pepper seems stronger to me. They will be so good with a nice brie or other mild soft cheese. If I can hold out long enough to get cheese. LOL!

@Smithy and @SLB Try this.

Yes, breadcrumbs or cubed bread.

Grilled turkey, Fantasma sugar-cured bacon and Pave cheese. Finally had some turkey!

Back in the early 80s when we got married, we got one of these Oster Kitchen Centers. I used it a lot but decided I needed "fancy" stuff so got separate appliances for all the functions. I got rid of the Oster. I have an acquaintance in this area who cooks a lot of Asian food and she uses and loves her Oster Kitchen Center. Every time I've seen her photos, I think wistfully of the one I had. Well, lo and behold, my neighbor posted in the local Buy Nothing group that she had one to give away. So, I jumped on it. It has been sitting in her garage for a long while, so I'm gradually getting it cleaned up. And then I'll try everything to make sure I like it before I get rid of the separate blender, Cuisinart, etc. I have such limited counter space at the new house that I hope it will work out better for me. The day after she brought it over, she brought me the manual and about 6 little cookbooklets that use the various functions. I haven't really looked at them yet, but know I'll have fun looking at all the old recipes. This is not my photo--grabbed this one from eBay. This looks slightly different, as mine has a food grinder attachment and the 2 glass mixing bowls

Hoping someone has a good one! Decades ago a friend in the UK served us sliceable stuffing and it was delicious. I've tried various things over the years to achieve it but failed. I'm just certain someone here will know. I'd ask my friend, but she and her husband divorced and she no longer associates with any of us old friends.

@Duvel, all looks wonderful but I was drooling over the foie and the chestnut cappuccino!!

My husband was a sandwich guy. After T-Day, he'd eat all the leftovers ONCE. After that, he would eat turkey sandwiches for as long as the white meat held out. I'd wind up eating all the sides and letting him have all the turkey.

I should probably get one of those since it is just me now. My Weber is getting old and it is pretty rare I ever use it for enough to actually fill it up. The critters knock off the ash tray at the bottom and play with it all the time so it gets pretty banged up. At the least I guess I should replace that!

No, I purposely got one that does not take K-cups. But you can make a single cup or a pot, so it is flexible. K-cups got too expensive for me and are not recyclable, so I didn't want them anymore.

Every Keurig I ever had got issues and had to be returned. They finally said it had happened so many times with us that they would not accept another return. I got a Ninja. No problems, but now that it is just me and I only drink about 1 1/2 cups a day, I'm going back to my Melitta pour over and/or French press.

No pizza for me tonight. I'm having leftover Momo at half-time of the Celtics game, which started at 4 pm and I thought that was odd. Back when I worked, I always had to work the day before T-Day.

I discovered that Effie's now has Gruyere flavor and just ordered some. I think that is the only one I haven't tried yet. They'll be here next week.

Oh, I was on an Effie's buying kick for a while. I think I need to order some for the holidays!!

Frozen Momo with the runny but good chutney that comes with it. I discovered a cuke in the back of the crisper so threw together a last minute raita to cool it down a bit. Leftovers for another meal.
