Thanksgiving Aftermath by Baby Huey
Turkey soup. Turkey omelettes. Turkey fried rice. Turkey sandwiches that use dressing as bread. God I love thanksgiving leftovers. This is one of my favorite recipes using leftovers, and it's mighty easy, to boot. As an aside, you should all go here and make this bread recipe. I made it this weekend, and it is seriously idiot-proof. Unless your yeast is dead from the start, you can't screw this up. Turkey Tettrazini 1 lb egg noodles Boil the noodles according to the package directions, but stop about 2 minutes early. Drain completely. In a big saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the gravy and milk, and stir till it's smooth. Stir in cheese, a handful at a time, till it's all melted. Add the turkey, vegetables, and noodles, and stir gently to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste -- the milk will probably have dulled the flavor a bit. Fill a greased casserole dish with this goop, and top with the crumbs and the melted butter. Put in a 350 degree oven, uncovered, until it's brown and bubbly on top, about 25 minutes. As for the metal, it's that time of the year for me to start telling you my favorite albums of 2006. I'll give you two of the top 10 each week for the next 5 weeks. I'm sure you're on pins and needles. 10. Witchery - Don't Fear the Reaper This is the review I wrote for the album earlier this year: "The underground Swedish metal scene is a hotbed of musical incest, and Witchery is no exception. I swear to god there are 1500 Swedish metal bands but only like 13 people that can play an instrument in the whole damned country. Put on hiatus since 2001 because of 3 of its members' other bands' grueling tour schedule (guitarist Patrik Jensen is in the Haunted, bassist Sharlee D'Angelo is in Mercyful Fate and Arch Enemy, and Martin Axenrot is in Bloodbath, as well as currently sitting as drummer for Opeth), they're back with an album that, despite its name, doesn't really need any more cowbell. The album is full of catchy riffs and fantastic drum work. With Jensen in the band, though, a lot of the riffs sound like The Haunted rip-offs. In some cases it's because of Jensen's unique guitar tone, and in others it's because they're really just self-plagiarized. Still, it's a combination of quality and anticipation, as this is their fir st album in 5 years, but this is one of the best albums I've heard all year." 9. Light this City - Facing the Thousand I got some great comments from my FTTW review of this album a few weeks ago: "Fresno-based Light this City reminds me of Sweden's Arch Enemy in many ways. For one, they both have a female vocalist who growls as good or better than many of her male counterparts. The guitars are extremely melodic, but still remain heavy. The drums are lightning-fast and perfectly on-beat. The songs are catchy and fun to listen to. All in all, I was very pleasantly surprised by these guys." Specifically, like Turtle said: "Nothing good comes from Fresno. Just evil people. So it must be good" Stay tuned next week for numbers 7 and 8. DJ Baby Huey

Comments
I swear I already left a comment on this. I must have hit preview instead of post.
What I said was ...
This tettrazini looks good. We have this chicken casserole that we repurposed with turkey. It's cream of mushroom soup and sour cream mixed with the meat. Add crumbled Ritz crackers to the top, sprinkle liberally with poppy seeds and drizzle with butter (I should say slather). It was quite good, but is much better with chicken.

this idiot does not make bread. yeast recipes and i do not mix well.
I think Huey just insulted his two biggest female fans.
faux pas, sir huey.
Posted by: michele | November 28, 2006 8:38 AM
This idiot doesn't make bread either. My first 2 attempts were miserable, miserable failures. Third time's a charm, I guess. See?
Besides, I'm pretty sure you're my only two female fans.

cream of mushroom soup
Having grown up in the midwest, I'm qualified to say that cream of mushroom soup is, in fact, an abomination unto The Lord. Mom used cream of mushroom soup too but I hate it, so I changed it to gravy.
Posted by: baby huey | November 28, 2006 8:44 AM
It's cream of mushroom soup and sour cream
I imagine the consistency of that concoction is something like big wads of phlegm.
Posted by: michele | November 28, 2006 8:46 AM
big wads of phlegm.
Ok, we're 2 seconds away from bukkake. AGAIN. Can we go ONE WEEK without the comments going to bukkake, people? Please???
Aw, shit.

Turkey bukkake is quite popular in some third world countries.
Just sayin.

BUKKAKE!!!!
with all the talk of sour cream and wads of phlegm, i was thinking along the lines of a yeast infection but i'm sick.
Posted by: kali | November 28, 2006 8:57 AM
yeast and i do not mix well.
Like you're the first woman to say THAT.
Posted by: baby huey | November 28, 2006 8:59 AM
this idiot does not make bread. i am also extremely proficient at screwing up anything gravy-like. this recipe sounds yummy though so I may try to make it a force it down my kids' throats. they will eat it and LIKE IT.
Posted by: Melodi | November 28, 2006 8:59 AM
they will eat it and LIKE IT.
I could SO take that out of context right now.
Instead I'll say that i am going to make a modified version of this recipe tonight. I will report back.

Jarred gravy is perfectly acceptable for this, as would be a can of cream of CHICKEN (not MUSHROOM, dear lord) soup.
Posted by: baby huey | November 28, 2006 9:18 AM
I'm going to use jarred gravy and chicken instead of turkey (because we have leftover chicken from last night). And I might use only carrots.
My kids are picky.

[Baby Huey]: ok, i'm going to push the comments over the edge right ... now
Posted by: michele | November 28, 2006 10:05 AM
Finn, if you can make a proper souffle then you are indeed a banking god.

Meh, people have been saying that to me since junior high.
I'm the FTTW writer your mom doesn't want you hanging out with.

Chocolate Souffle, no problem. Fried eggs ? Yeah, I can fuck that up...
Posted by: thefinn | November 28, 2006 10:10 AM

Oh, I made some killer over-easy eggs this weekend for my son. They were perfect especially with a huge side of bacon.
Posted by: Melodi | November 28, 2006 10:16 AM
Forgot to respond to you, turtle
is that like grits and stuff like that?
Partially, hell yeah. My dad taught me how to make perfect grits. There is a secret to making the perfect non-lumpy, non-soupy/runny grits, and I AM NOT SHARING.

Negative, ghostrider. Butter, lots of butter, and water.
