I agree i am blessed to have them in my life.

I believe we are having ten or 12 people come for dinner.

ps. If you make it to a brunch you will have a chance to meet them

speaking of Tacos....and stuff Im wondering how many people here to enchilada's with their turkey leftovers? we do them every year...My son inlaws mother also makes turkey tamale's from scratch after ...we find all kinds of creative ways to work with the left overs. Enchiladas are my favorite though for left overs.

A care package? Awesome! Thank you. Ok I may survive this bachelor thing after all with my femme friends looking out for me

12 is a nice size group for dinner. I have done a lot of dinner parties for 12-14. That is a comfortable number for me. At home this is. My dining room table only seats 8 comfortably so I have to swap tables out to do a larger group or use the back yard and two tables. We can do this in CA year round, which is a bonus, as if living in CA were not enough of a bonus on its own.

Eventually I will make it to a brunch for sure.

Turkey leftovers..hmmm..as Corkey says "what leftovers?"

No seriously, I eat turkey sandwiches on oatmeal bread pretty regularly so leftovers usually become sandwich or soup. In the last year I have gotten into making simple stocks and loading up a soup with green leafy vegetables such as swiss chard, spinach, bok choy, collards, kale, napa cabbage. It all depends on my mood and what is good at the market. I will spin the soup in a flavor direction with lots of garlic, ginger, soy and a little rice vinegar or something like tomato, onion, cilantro, jalepeno, or tomato, more garlic, and a good romano cheese, again depending on my mood.

A good turkey or chicken stock can be turned into many different kinds of soup. Your enchilada idea is a good one though.
