thanksgiving left over sandwich

If this were some popular blog that actually cared about readership one might say I should have waited till November to write about this tasty morsel, but it's not, so fuck off.

How great is Thanksgiving? Every year I drive home, usually a wee bit hung over, only to pull up into my parents drive way just as the food is being set on the table. Mmm, thinking about it is making my privates tingle with joy. While that meal is undeniably the best thing I'll eat all year, nothing can really top the left over sandwich that, no doubt, everyone across the congressional untied states devourers into early December. I like to keep mine simple.

If you have to use regular old bread, go ahead, thats fine and dandy, but I prefer using any dinner rolls that may still be lurking around. "But Nick," you may say, "a dinner roll isn't going to be big enough to satisfy my late night, drunken sailor hunger! Are you a fool?" No, I'm not, you stinky twit, you simply make a bunch of 'em! However, make sure that your eyes don't get too greedy for your tummy. Leftovers, are limited and you don't wanna waste any of that sweet, sweet homemade goodness. Anyway, take a desirable number of rolls, cut them in half, put 'em to the side for now. Next, take a large plate and evenly distribute about a half inch of mashed potatoes across the surface. Sprinkle a little bit of gravy on that shit. Now, rip the leftover turkey with your fingers into a size that looks suitable for sandwich portions. Now soak it with even more gravy. Place a paper towel over the top and nuke it in the microwave. Occasionally stop and stir it up cause the last thing you want is a lump of cold 'tatoes in your mouth. Once it's hot and ready, stir up the the mixture, and spread it on those rolls. I usually put too much on so that it oozes out the sides, but just lick that stuff up. Oh yeah, a dash of salt and pepper ain't gonna hurt it either.

Every once in a great while you'll see a variety of this sammich at some trendy restaurant, but I never get it. It's not the real deal, where everything was taken out of multicolored, warped tupperware, that was sitting in the fridge for a day or two. Also, they usually put cranberry sauce on there. I know I'm considered to be in the wrong on this one, but fuck that, FUCK THAT! If you put cranberry sauce on there it's gonna take over the simplicity of what it's meant to be. Also, cranberry sauce is totally disgusting. Grow up already.
