Leftovers

Let the leftovers begin! On Friday we ate leftover lamb roast, sliced and served cold (well, room temperature) with Ken's home-made mayonnaise, one of the classic French sauces. Along with that, we had some little boiled potatoes, also allowed to cool for serving, and the left-over Brussels sprouts served the same way. We drank Corbières, a red wine from the south, made mostly with carignan grapes.

Lunch on Black Friday.

We have at least one meal of lamb to go. Maybe a shepherd's pie. Who can say? By the way, Friday was a sunny day! It was nice to have a bright day for a change.

  1. What a feast! I’ll bet the lamb tastes even better as leftovers.

  2. How did you like the Corbières? Would it go equally well with turkey and cranberry sauce sandwiches? Asking for a friend...

  3. Everything looks delicious again. I think the main reason we all love leftover Turkey Day food is because there’s little to no work involved. It’s just relax and enjoy.

  6. mitch, the first time around, served hot, but rare in the middle, is wonderful. Cold leftovers with a sauce or in a sandwich are terrific. Then, finally (or not), re-heated leftovers in a casserole, a soup, or just on a plate, are great!

    kiwi, I like corblères in general and thought this one was good. It would certainly go with a turkey dinner. It's more robust than a gamay, but not quite as robust as a rhône or bordeaux can be. IMHO. ;)

    bettyann, good point!

    evelyn, the sun was nice while it lasted. The fog is back.

    judy, :)
