In the past couple of weeks I was able to get fresh, natural, unbrined turkeys from Whole Foods for $1.99 a pound, which was reduced from the regular price of $2.49. I got a 12 pounder that I put in the freezer and a 10 pound one that I cooked yesterday.

I had leftovers today except for fresh veggies (broccoli and carrots).

Italiancook, I have a dough bucket from KAF. It's sturdy. I imagine if you wash it in the dishwasher the marking would wash off but otherwise I don't see a problem with it. Although I'm a big fan of the dishwasher, I wash mine by hand.

Great to hear you're doing better, Joan!

Tonight was a leftover chicken breast, sliced cabbage and carrot sauteed, to which I added some chicken broth and thickened it a bit with corn starch and added in some angel hair pasta.

Amber, dark, light, robust I've never had a maple syrup that I didn't like. Each style is different, but all are good.

BA, I thought about soaking it in rum for a while but decided not too. I never thought about using a little water and microwaving it, thanks for the tip!

I made Oatmeal raisin cookies from a recipe that had rave reviews on Food dot com. The recipe is similar to the Quaker Oats recipe but uses more flour and more raisins. The dough was a bit on the dry side. Instead of just raisins, I used a cup of Bakers Dried Fruit blend I had from KAF and a half cup of mini chocolate chips. I baked a half dozen to test them (somebody has to do that!) and portioned out the rest and put them in the freezer to be baked at a later date. They didn’t spread but taste good. Next time I’ll just follow the Quaker Oats recipe.

Yesterday I had a leftover chicken breast with leftover roasted potatoes. I made mushroom gravy.

Today I had a leftover chicken breast with mushroom gravy, white rice and sauteed cabbage and carrot.

Thank you, all. I'm going to make a pie for Thanksgiving too, this was my test pie. I have fresher pumpkin for Thanksgiving.

On another subject, King Arthur has 10% off orders of $60 that ends tonight.

I made a stir fry for dinner consisting of cabbage, carrots, mushrooms and a leftover chicken breast. Had it over brown rice.

Sorry about your mishap, Kimbob, I never knew that about Vaseline either.

I opened my can of "best by 12-2019" pumpkin and it looked and smelled fine. So I turned it into a pie. Just had a slice, it's still a little warm, very good!

Thanks everyone. Italiancook, I took your advice and did some additional research. I seem to recall hearing that old canned goods have been found (100 years old) and examined and found to be safe to eat and still nutritious. What I found was that the best by date is determined by the manufacturer of the food. Past that date there might be some degradation of color and taste but it should still be good to use. However, the condition of the can and how it's stored are important too. i.e. avoid dented and rusted cans, store in moderate temps and avoid high humidity and direct sunlight. Also trust your nose, ÿour nose knows". The Food Network has an article on it, How Long Is Canned Food Good I'm planning on making a pie from it, I'll report back.

[RiversideLen]

Sorry to hear that, Joan. I'm keeping you in my prayers and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Roasted chicken breast (bone in, skin on) and potato, steamed cabbage and carrot and cranberry sauce.

Question, I have a can of pumpkin puree that has a bet by date of Dec 2019, do you think it's still OK?
