Leftovers part 1.
My brother, Rick’s, cheesy scalloped potato ham bake was one
rich dish among all the other rich dishes, so I only had a few mouthfuls. Easy to do because I know he and mom will
insist I take some home for later. We
set an abundant table and there is always plenty to go home with each of us.
I love potatoes and took several generous scoops in a mason
jar to add to my other leftover containers.
This morning I put a generous portion in my smallest
well-oiled iron skillet, cutting the potatoes into smaller portions, I added
diced bell peppers, spinach and let it all begin to brown on the stovetop. Then I beat an egg with a dash of Worcestershire
and some Sriracha (red pepper sauce), poured it over the potatoes, and put it
into a 350 oven to finish (about 15 minutes).
Yum.
Leftovers part 2
Sometimes, as above, I want leftovers to be different than
the original, but not when it comes to turkey and dressing. The Friday after thanksgiving I love to
duplicate the original. I pull out a
slightly larger iron skillet, butter it and carefully arrange the turkey and dressing
with liberal dollops of gravy over them, followed by a portion the 3-cheese
broccoli mushroom bake and some sweet potatoes prepared with onions and other
spices – no sugar thank you.
I’ll put this to reheat in the oven around 6 to be ready by
7 and enjoy a Thanksgiving dinner encore.
Replete, I’ll pour another glass of wine and settle down on
the couch to read, write in my journal, listen to music or throw on an old
movie – programming is barren on the wasteland tonight.
