NB>> And I heard that Midland Michigan is having their own flooding issues NB>> on top of the COVID-19... and needed to evacuate people to shelters... NB>> which needed to follow the virus protocols.... Hopefully the danger NB>> has receded in your part of the world... BM> Haven't heard of any flooding though the past week's rain and drizzle BM> have made the ground saturated. The sump pump here has been working BM> though I think finally got caught up yesterday. Sounds promising then that this year won't be a repeat of last year for you guys... BM> As for Michigan -- eek! Saw their flooded streets, etc., on the news. I only heard about it... by now, maybe things have gone more back to normal for them, too... BM> And Texas had ping BM> pong ball-sized hail. Daryl's been reporting thunderstorms for his BM> area but not nearby -- just close enough to make him a little nervous. Rather unsettled weather everywhere, it seems.... BM>>> I'm not a big fan of having the same meal the following night; a one BM>>> night interval is sufficient. NB>>> Richard's not keen on that either... so we do tend to space out the NB>>> leftovers... and/or present them in a different fashion... ;) BM>> Yum: turkey! Yum! Turkey leftovers! Yum - turkey pot pie. Um - BM>> turkey soup. Ah - I think I'm growing feathers! NB>> You should have had other meals interspersed with the turkey ones... BM> Chicken!! Um... maybe not... maybe pork or beef...? :) Hamburgers, even... :) BM>>> The mega-Turkey at Christmas is an expected exception. NB>>> And even then, we'd tend to have variations on the theme, not just a NB>>> repeat of the first turkey meal.... ;) BM>> See above? Usually we'll do a turkey leftover meal and there will BM>> be some turkey leftover for sandwiches. If a lot of turkey left over BM>> will be frozen for much later meal. We do of course end up giving away BM>> part of the original leftover to the kids. NB>> We start with less to begin with... don't do the full turkey anymore NB>> (and the last time we did, it was for my whole extended family, so NB>> there weren't any leftovers to speak of), but instead just do a turkey NB>> thigh or two.... BM> Right: at this point we're still hosting a bit of extended family and BM> want to have at least one meal each to take away. So there are always plans for most of what ever is left... :) BM>>> As for throwing out, that's almost a sin! NB>>> True.... And I do tend to think of the provoking tagline as a bit NB>>> on the egregious side... Now, if the leftover turkey is NB>>> starting to be a mold farm, that's a different story... BM>> The establishment of the Mold Farm means there was poor planning: too BM>> much not frozen! NB>> Or the container got pushed further back into the fridge than one NB>> remembered, and it was totally forgotten until much later... ;) BM> The good news is that hasn't happened for some time. As long as BM> 'almost' doesn't count! If it was caught before it had to be tossed, could still be used, then almost wouldn't count... ;) NB>>> ... Chicken Tikka Masala not fish 'n chips is the national NB>>> British dish. BM>> That could probably lead to a few trivia contest wins! NB>> If it actually is accurate... I do have my doubts as to whether it's NB>> true or just a joke... BM> I'm thinking the latter: BM> Chicken tikka masala is a dish of chunks of roasted marinated BM> chicken in a spiced curry sauce. The sauce is usually creamy and BM> orange-coloured. There are multiple claims to its place of origin BM> such as the United Kingdom and Indian subcontinent. It is among the BM> United Kingdom's most popular dishes. Popular, yes, but not replacing fish and chips necessarily... ;) BM> Sounds like the tagline had a bit of confusion. ...Not like I've BM> never had that problem! I'm sure that it wasn't really intended for actual truth, just to get a rise out of people... a related one is below... ;) ttyl neb ....
