School lunches reminded me --
All through high school, I went through the food line and bought a Nutty Buddy. Every day.
About two weeks ago, I saw some in the store and decided that after 50 years, I ought to try them again.
I am now up to several of them a day.
My 50th reunion this year was canceled.

I cannot have Little Debbie Nutty Buddies in the house.
Those things are amazing, and if I find one in the kitchen... I eat it. No questions about it.

Living the dream.
Did someone say Little Debbie nutty bars.
It got even worse when we found out there was a generic brand at Aldi that were even better at half the price.
We have a stipulation on those now and I don't care too much for that stipulation. When they come in the house they're munched up quick so we try to stay away from those now.
Nutty bars indeed. Oatmeal scotchies with walnuts always beat that one. Not to much more healthy but way more expensive.

Trackfiddler, you are thinking of Underwoods deviled ham.
It came in a white can with a little red devil on the side. I use to love it as a kid. I tried some about a year ago ...... "BLECHHHHHHHH!!!
Rust...... It's a good thing !
Yeah, that crap you used to like when you were a Kid Timmy.
The stuff don't cut it today. I think as we grow older our taste buds get a little wiser for more distinctive foods or something like that

Bear,
Recognize the Kiwi Fruit, the Strawberries, what is the orange ring that looks like ripe Salmon Eggs, or perhaps Frog Eggs, and what is the cake made out of??

SeeYou190Ewwwwww... I remember Olive Loaf. Why was that ever made?
When I saw Ed's pictures of 'proccessed' meats, the olive loaf was the only one that appealed to me! I haven't had it in years.
It used to be that those low cost/quality processed meats were all that we could afford, but we stopped buying stuff like that years ago. These days we will treat ourselves to a summer salami (the one that comes wrapped in cloth) or a peppercorn salami once in a blue moon. We have a local salami maker that makes excellent products, but they are not cheap.
Head cheese turns my stomach just to look at it!
Cheers!!

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Good morning .

EVERYWHERE LOST; WE HUSTLE OUR CABOOSE FOR YOU
Happy Thanksgiving guys! Just got the first turkey going in the smoker. Second one going in a roaster oven in a few hours. Tons of food, but not many here this year. That's okay. I like these leftovers! Hope everyone has a great day!
Mike
Happy Thanksgiving to all our American friends!!! I hope that you can enjoy yourselves even if your families can't gather in the usual celebratory manner.
If you have too many turkey leftovers, I'll take them!
Happy Thanksgiving all!
Not a lot of prep this year although we started boiling eggs for the deviled eggs.
The Pavlova looks good Bear. We're changing up the traditional pumpkin pie. The plan was cherry turnovers but could not find the dough for the pastry so cherry pie it is.
The biggest chore is peeling all the potatoes, lots of mashed patatoes. I like the leftovers for potatoe cakes with my eggs for breakfast.
Have a great festive day all
Happy Thanksgiving. It was 25°F walking this morning, but it is supposed to get into the 50s today.
We had the fireplace going yesterday, but the house actually got too hot. I think we'll save the firewood until our high temperatures are in the teens. We'll go through more firewood in one week at Christmas with all the kids and grandkids here than we will the rest of the winter.
We were supposed to go to in-laws' house today, but decided yesterday we wouldn't make the trip.
We have a small turkey to bake, and my wife's stufffing is always good. No pumpkin pie, but I have a basement refrigerator full of beer and a new box of Nutty Buddies to open. I'm set for the day.
Hope all of you, including those in other places where it's a normal day, have a good healthy day today.

You know what the weather here is like.
Watching the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade on TV. No one is watching with me, but I watch it almost every year.
I will start cooking around 2:00. It seems silly to make eight different things because it is just my wife and I, but that is what she wants. There will be leftovers for a few days.

Track fiddlerThe biggest chore is peeling all the potatoes, lots of mashed patatoes.
Hi TF,
You can never have too many mashed potatoes! Traditionally Dianne and I would buy a 10 lb. bag of Yukon Gold potatoes and turn them all into mashed potatoes before Christmas. We used lots of butter, cream, garlic and cheese. Yummy!!
Recently however we have copped out. We are now buying pre-made mashed potatoes made by 'Reser's Main St. Bistro' and they are absolutely delicious!! Instant mashed potatoes used to be pretty vulgar! These are vastly superior to anything offered in the past. They have tons of real butter, garlic and parmesan, and even though they taste a tiny bit salty, the actual salt content is not that high. No, we are not eating them every day! They are ready in four minutes and one package will do us for two meals. I know that it would be healthier to make mashed potatoes ourselves, but the prepared ones save us both a lot of stress on our backs and other joints.
We haven't given up on using raw potatoes. I just bought a very coarse grater so we can do latkes. It is also great for making zucchini noodles. Stuffed double baked potatoes are a favourite too.
I have a bit of strange Turkey news this morning.
I don't know if you guys remember me telling but we've had this turkey that has some sort of mental problems that's been hanging out by the liquor store and gas station for a couple years.
She had become quite the neighborhood mascot. Apparently she had become somewhat aggressive lately when people don't have food for her which was a bad idea to start feeding her in the first place.
It was on the news the DNR went up there and shot her. People are upset they didn't capture her and relocate her somewhere else.
We went on a beer run yesterday and low and behold there was a memorial on the corner of balloons and flowers. Obviously a lot of people really loved that bird. Judy even knew the bird's name was Penny.
Well, no more neighborhood turkey mascot anymore I guess I guess this just took place at the beginning of the week. Don't you think it would have been a little more appropriate if they would have at least waited till after Thanksgiving? Judy said they gave it to a needy family to eat though. At least there's somewhat of a happy ending to the story.
Well, I have reached another meaningless milestone in my life, and I did it on a holiday! Now Thanksgiving will even be more special to me.
Another 1,267 posts and I will equal the number of posts I had on Warseer.
Track fiddlerDon't you think it would have been a little more appropriate if they would have at least waited till after Thanksgiving?
It would have been more appropriate if they had given the turkey a shotgun so that it could have defended itself.

One of my rare visits to the Diner. It has been both exhilarating and exhausting these past few weeks watching Kevin posting to every conceivable thread, often as many as 25 posts per day, to achieve this milestone.
Kevin, it is time to take a well deserved rest.
Congrats!

You got that right Dave!
10 lbs! You are the new found Potato Champion I used to think I was getting carried away with a 5 lb bag. But they're gone in 2 days. Maybe I should start doing 10 so I can have potatoes for a better part of a week
I as well can't stand run of the mill instant potatoes. Diaper slop
SeeYou190POST NUMBER 10,000!
Congratuations! You should be close to another milestone, if I remember. Aren't you close to not having construction people in your house?
I think I need to pick up my pace in posting. At my rate, it will be eight more years for me to reach 10,000.
What are the rules for becoming a post hog?
hon30critterRecently however we have copped out. We are now buying pre-made mashed potatoes
Dave, a while back my wife bought some "Bob Evans" premade mashed potatoes. Being a mashed potato connoisseur, I didn't even want to try them.
Amazingly, they were very good! In fact, they were just as good as the mashed potatoes we've been making for years. And they take five minutes in the microwave!

They are supposed to be here on Tuesday 01/DEC/2020, but I am not holding my breath. According to the city's website my permit is still in final review.
richhotrainIt has been both exhilarating and exhausting these past few weeks watching Kevin posting to every conceivable thread, often as many as 25 posts per day, to achieve this milestone.
I have been posting a lot, but not in an effort to reach a milestone.
Since I have no income, I am not shopping on eBay and online model train retailers. I am not making photographs on my 30 by 30 photo diorama any more, and it is gone. My workbench has been disassembled and moved into the storage room. The Covid resurgance has paused my wargaming group again.
This forum is just about my only hobby outlet now, and my only activity on the internet as well.
As long as I am not responding to questions in the DCC or Prototype sections, where I have absolutely no knowledge, we should be OK. If you see me active on threads about DCC controls or prototype trains, knock me over the head and drag me away.
