Ah, leftovers

[kelliem]

One of the best things about Thanksgiving is the leftovers. Tonight I took the leftover roast harvest vegetables, added a bit of mashed potatoes and then pureed everything with some cream left from making the pumpkin pie filling, and some vegetable stock, added about a teaspoon of curry powder, some turmeric and a shake of cayenne, and now I have some very delicious curried cream-of-vegetable soup. :D

I also hit two different grocery stores to find the Kluski style noodles I need to make the traditional Turkey Stroganoff casserole tomorrow night. (Yes, it does involve canned mushroom soup, I can hear you all cringing now...) I can't understand why the Safeway only carries the wide, flat, tasteless egg noodles but not the yummy Kluski ones. Fortunately, King Soopers had the good stuff.

I spent a lot of my holiday watching the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles (Vol. I) set which I borrowed from my boss (she got a free set because she's one of the many people they interviewed in the mini documentaries that accompany the eps). It's a great set, and I love watching the documentaries as much as the actual eps. The one thing I wish they'd done differently is that they left out the framing device they used for the actual tv series -- the Old Indiana Jones bits that preceded and ended each ep. I really liked those. I wonder what made them decide to leave them off the DVD set? Anyone out there know?

Turkey Stroganoff certainly sounds delicious.

I've never heard of Kluski style noodles, thanks for the link.
