It was worth the fourteen bucks, but I have to say I was a little disappointed in the meal.
Why? The turkey wasn’t the kind of turkey that’s taken out of the oven and sliced off of the bone. It was like one of those pressed turkey loaves you get at the store, that you just heat and slice. There wasn’t really all that much on the plate. There was a little tiny paper cup with cranberries in it, two slices of pressed white turkey over some dressing and sweet potatoes on the side. The gravy was on the sweet potatoes and none was on the mashed potatoes or turkey/dressing. ??? The sweet potatoes were good and since there wasn’t much on my plate to begin with, I figured I’d take advantage of the “all you can eat”. Well, they were in such a rush to get the customers in and out, that our pie was there before the second helping of potatoes.
I was almost finished with the pie when a server came out with the sweet potatoes. I just looked at her and said “I’m eating dessert, I’m done with the entre”.
Like I said, it was worth the money, but I didn’t like feeling like I was one of a herd of cattle. And I’d really like to have had real turkey.
I told Brian this morning, I’d really like to cook a turkey, have real meat. We’ve got one back in the shop. He said “make one for Christmas.” Nah, my mom does that and she does a most excellent job of it. My turkey dinners are pathetic compared to hers. The only thing I make better is the gravy.
Maybe I’ll do it next week sometime. I like turkey.
