Why compels me to do this, and why can't I stop?

I wanna be a SMIB
Damn, to bad we don't have a Thanksgiving B&T party.

I could use some lumpia right now.

Omg, I miss Lumpia, cant seem to find it here and phillipinos seem to be rare here. Jo, if your listening, I miss you and I want Lumpia in large quanities. Please send asap.
 
I'd do that, but herein lies the real problem. I hoard food. Lots of food. All good food, too.

My kitchen fridge/freezer is full. My garage fridge/freezer is full. And even the large chest freezer in the garage is full. And if I showed you my walk-in pantry, you're eyes would glaze over at all the food I have stored in there. Simply put, I've got no place to put the leftovers.

But all my family and friends joke that my house is where you'd want to be in case of a famine or natural disaster. We'd have enough grub to eat for months.

And that brings me to another point: short of break, milk, eggs, and butter, we'd certainly be able to go in excess of three months without ever having to step foot in a grocery store.
You should pull something out of the freezer and put a bow on it for each of us!!! :clap:

I always over cook too! Matter of fact, Hubby was worried there wouldn't be enough leftover turkey, so he went out and bought another one. So, in addition to the 27 pounder I'll be cooking tomorrow, I have a 20 pounder to cook over the weekend. Let's see, turkey sandwiches, turkey soup, turkey stew, turkey & dumplings, turkey rice casserole, turkey BBQ, turkey spaghetti? :cds:

Yeah, that WOULD work, other than we don't even have room for a slice of bread in our freezer!!


We're ready for Armegeddon here. Pantry is stocked up, freezer couldn't be fuller, and two refrigerators worth of food and beer.

:howdy: I have room in my freezer... :angel:

Hubby and I tend to do the same thing on Christmas, cook way to much food. Luckily (????), we go to the inlaws up in DE for Thanksgiving so I just bring some deviled eggs or some other appetizer and that's the extent of my Thanksgiving "cooking".

Hey BadGirl , would you mind sharing the recipe for your cherry-almond roll? Sounds so yummy! :drool:

I'll take a lasagna... I know you've got one in there somewhere...:yum:

You missed last week when we had three different Chili's in the House.

I think it was Saturday she went around and handed out chili dinners..

I am so very blessed
I bet there were many different smells after the meal as well.:yay:
Nah, it was all good. I made white chicken chili (damn! that stuff was hot), and two different kinds of regular chili...but not just "regular" regular, but my Golden Spoon award-winning Amazing Chili. I had to retain my last year's winning Golden Spoon award. :biggrin:
