Oh, that was good, especially for cobbled-together.

I was so focused on getting the sausage that I didn't worry about what would go with it. (Then again, I knew we had a lot of options amongst canned and frozen veggies and other food.) I just figured I'd wing it today. Actually, "sausage" is a misnomer; specifically, turkey kielbasa. But yum. Had that, Stove Top stuffing, sliced potatoes, sweet corn, and the cranberry jelly (the all-jelly holds-the-can-shape type - hey, I like it :) that I picked up on a whim yesterday. While sitting at the table and looking out at the still snow-covered deck on our property and pasture across the way.

As Christmas dinners go, far from the best I've ever had, and far from the worst, and it felt right and it was lovely. Compared to what we might've had without the sausage, very nice. (I did have two chicken breasts, intended for a crock pot chicken-and-veggie dish, so I might've come up with something - but I really didn't want to improvise there. They're in the crock pot now, assuming that's edible most of it will wind up frozen for later use. And other than those? We'd've been dealing with something like chili. Not really very seasonal, so I'm glad we got out and got the sausage.)

It's a different kind of turkey dinner but it sounds pretty good. It's hard to go wrong with that combo, especially the Stove Top. I can eat that stuff any day.

I sort of like that kind of cranberry sauce too.

Heh. To me it was "sausage" rather than "turkey" - it being made of turkey is just what makes it edible to me. Normally Christmas was ham (turkey was Thanksgiving) but I didn't want to deal with a ham. :P

Sounds good to me as well!

And the cranberry jelly - We have dressing down here, and can't eat turkey dressing without the cranberry sauce jelly! Well, half our family eats it with that, the other half eats the dressing with gibblet gravy. :P

Glad to hear the pair of you had a great holiday though! It's been fun over here with family. :)
