I worked out the correct answer.

Leftover turkey dinner with the mashed potatoes and gravy this time. (Dressing again tomorrow!)

Italian Cook--the email does not have a promo code, so it must be that the buyer has to click through that email for the discount.

[BakerAunt]

I missed it, but I'm glad to know this information.

Is Aniseed the same as Star Anise?

[BakerAunt]

Italian Cook--I went back and checked the email I received from KAF, as well as a second one, and both state free shipping over $49. Maybe you have to be on their email list?

We had turkey on the rye-wheat-pumpkin bread for lunch. For dinner, we had leftover turkey, dressing, gravy, and peas and carrots. I had some cranberry apple salad, and my husband had some applesauce. We'll have the mashed potatoes in one of the upcoming re-run meals.

I usually am not in the kitchen the day after Thanksgiving, preferring to munch on delicious leftovers and bask in the holiday afterglow, but the supply of Healthier Whole Wheat Sourdough Cheese Crackers has been dwindling, and I expect we will run out by late next week. I went ahead and made up the dough for the crackers. It’s best if it can sit, divided into four equal amounts, in the refrigerator for about four days before I roll out, cut, and bake the crackers.

[BakerAunt]

I know this one.

My husband roasted the turkey. I made dressing from Pepperidge Farm Stuffing--two separate dishes, one with onions, which is almost all gone, and one without onion, from which my husband had a spoonful. I also made mashed potatoes and gravy. We cooked frozen peas and carrots for the vegetable. One of my friends brought a delicious apple-cranberry salad. It's not sweet and went well with the dressing. We also had my homemade applesauce from the freezer. We had Ellen's buns baked in the pumpkin muffin pan and the pumpkin rye bread. Of course, there was my pumpkin pie for dessert.

Thanksgiving was our first dinner party since we remodeled the house.

I really like this bread! The spices are faint but work well with the rye and wheat. I am looking forward to having some for breakfast tomorrow after oatmeal.

I have dough made from my adaption of Ellen's Buns on its first rise. I'll bake them in the 6-cup Nordic Ware (12 wells) pumpkin muffin pan, as I did a couple weeks ago. They will be cute next to the Pumpkin Wheat Rye Bread.

[BakerAunt]

Hmm- The UK couldn't agree on Artisan Bread. That's no surprise given the disagreement over Brexit.

I doubt that the faux sourdough even tastes that good. In bread baking, most shortcuts are a bad idea. That's why I will not even consider the Red Star product.

Mike and Chocomouse--We are also having mashed potatoes and gravy with our dressing/stuffing (we never put it in the turkey). Usually, for two of us, I'd skip the mashed potatoes (but not the gravy!), but since we have company, and mashed potatoes were mentioned, I'll make both, as I would do when the kids were able to join us.

I adore the DGB casserole, but I skipped it last year and will do so this year, since I want to spend my saturated fat allowance on other items, such as pumpkin pie. I'd also have to eat it all myself, as my husband does not care for it or the onions on top.

I had heard the term and was able to figure out the correct answer, for which I am thankful.

[BakerAunt]

We've been eating the Tarragon Chicken, Rice and Mushrooms for the past four days and finished it this evening, changing out the accompanying vegetables each day. That's my way of finding time to work on all of the other Thanksgiving food.

Yes, Chocomouse. I found it a Kroger, after walking all over the store, only to discover that they had put a special Thanksgiving food section at the front of the store to the side of the produce area. I later saw a few bags at Walmart when we went on Monday, for the same price. Did you notice that the bag is now only 12 oz.? I bought two, as there will be five people at dinner.
