I talked the wife into prime rib and baked potato for Thanksgiving. Today I had a great beef sandwich with the last if the leftovers. Now the budget limits us to just potato for ChristmasâŚâŚ
Turkey tastes so much better than chicken, but given i have no family to have over for dinner, even a small turkey is too much for a single person to consume, and most restaurants these days donât seem to serve turkey dinners so I rarely get to enjoy turkey unless I then eat turkey for a week and freeze most of the leftovers.
One who loves Turkey, can buy just a turkey breast or wings or drumsticks or thighs and cook just what you want and not get a 22 lb bird. I eat Gobbler all year. But Uncle Ted is right, 3 days and no Cold turkey not for me.
This begs the question, what is the origin of the term âcold turkeyâ? The most commonly accepted explanation is that the original cold turkey was a combination of cold (âstraightforward, matter-of-factâ) and the talk turkey, which dates back to the early 1800s and refers to speaking plainly. Regardless of its ultimate origins, the phrase manages to vividly capture the initial dread and discomfort that comes from immediately quitting something thatâs addictive, from drugs to dating apps.
The first documented use of the expression as we use it today â to describe withdrawal â appeared in the British Columbia newspaper âThe Daily Columnistâ in 1921.
Alone for Thanksgiving, I had a frozen turkey dinner,(Great Value, with a fair amount of meat, for a frozen dinner. Sooo yesterday I bought 3 large slices of deli turkey, big enough to make a half-pound. Today I baked up big biscuits, one slice of the meat filled 2 biscuits, had my âleft-overâ sandwichesâŚ(with Miracle Whip Lite) Delicious!âŚ.I told my deli guy thatâs what I was going for.

John Lennon: ⪠âCold Turkeyâ ⪠â depressing, but itâs got a good beat, and you can dance to it. Itâs a scream!
