 my then first-grader noticed the turkey that weighed the same as her.  It 
 takes a long time for a family of 4 to eat a 36 lb turkey!

    Ooooffff! And it fit in the oven, never mind the pan?!? Our families 
always get more modest birds, so I have yet to get seriously tired of the 
leftovers--in fact I usually wish for more! ;-) But our traditional leftover 
dish is creamed turkey, on dressing if there's enough, or toast if there's 
not. Yummy stuff! (Cream sauce, with cheddar, Worcestershire sauce and 
tarragon for seasoning, as a rule) Don't think I'll get to indulge my fix 
this time, though--the turkey's mostly gone, as is the dressing--which came 
out very well this year, if I do say so! ;-) We do what I think of as the 
standard type, at least for the South--cornbread and sage, onions and celery, 
with a few biscuits added if available, or a little bread if not, and the 
turkey broth, salt and pepper, of course. Fairly basic composition, but quite 
delectable!

                    Ldy Diana, counting the days until the Christmas feast!
