I do love me some Thanksgiving leftovers, but I think I embarrassed the good captain last night. We were guests at a Thanksgiving dinner last night that was delicious! The host asks if we'd like to take any leftovers home with us, and I say, "Thank you, that would be wonderful." She asks what I'd like, and I say, "anything is fine." Apparently no one wanted leftovers, because the 10-or-so pound bag that we left with suggests I got everything short of dessert! Yes, Dave was surprised when he went to pick up the "to go" bag. :rotflmao
In my defense, the hosts are having 20+ people over on Sunday and insisted they did not want the leftovers and would have no room for them in the fridge. Hope that's the truth! :crossed
So what leftovers did you either walk away with or keep for yourself?

Here the people is ashamed to ask their leftovers at the restaurant but sometime also at the friends' home.
In my opinion instead don't waste good food is a duty and common sense.
You did the right thing IMHO.

Not my blame if you do something that matches what I don't like.

I will pickup a smaller one tomorrow to smoke at a later time as well. My MIL and BIL both did turkeys yesterday, one baked and one fried, so there are tons of leftovers, and I love turkey. Both were cooked to near perfection thanks to my trusty Thermopen.
My Dad told me eat everything you put on your plate. Do not waste.
Careful there pretty lady. You may have to change your avatar to 36.2 if you keep eating like that:grin

I agree with your Dad's line.

We've got plenty left over. Gonna have a fat weekend....
Oh, I will most definitely be changing that avatar on January 11th! I'm doing a 6-hour ultra race at Vista View park in Broward. The question is how many miles beyond 26.2 I'll go!
I'm gonna get a 104.8 decal for my truck. Just to one up the irritating runners with 13.1 & 26.2 decals. They are almost as bad as crossfit dorks. :wink

I knew better, more than two glasses of Chardonnay occasionally hampers my intellectual abilities. . .:drink

Exactly opposite...Only poor people feel they must eat every scrap....
though thin people understand "portion control" and don't overload their plate even on holidays that celebrate glutony.
