I made American style biscuits and sausage gravy for breakfast, no pics. I used an egg and buttermilk (and butter) in my biscuits and plenty of thyme and sage in the gravy. My husband practically licked the plate. Okay, I did too, LOL.

I am cooking a turkey tomorrow, again I will stuff the skin with almost completely roasted garlic cloves and fresh jalapeno peppers. I am going to make a wild rice/crouton stuffing with fresh herbs...I think I might just throw that 1/2 cup of leftover sausage gravy in it for good measure. Not sure about the veggie just yet, I have both broccoli and Brussels sprouts on hand, also fresh spinach, so it will be one of the three.

I just couldn't resist buying that turkey, this will be the last time they are .49 cents a pound for close to a year, and normally they are $1-$2 more than that per pound. It's about a 14 pound bird so we will be eating that for at least a week. I love love love turkey sandwiches and turkey soup, turkey and dumplings, etc.!

Lots of other forum members have long and successful marriages as well, we aren't failures. Hubby and I are going on 23 years and are quie happy still. I know others have been happily together for much longer.

But yes, 25 years is a long time, cheers!

Lu and I have been together for 31 years, and married for 13. Neither of us are in the mood to pack it in yet either.

We met at university in September 1991, so have known each other 30 years now. Moved in together in January 1993. Married when we finally managed to save £1,000 which paid for everything including all wedding rings, food and honeymoon flights & accommodation. Thankfully the hotel provided a free city wide public transport ticket to tourists.
We splashed out on our first ever bottled of champagne once wedding guests had disappeared for the day after we drove to Penrith. We ended up with a bottle of Perrier Jouet Belle Epoque . For the first 8 or 9 years we had a bottle on each anniversary. We've got a magnum sitting on the house unopened. It had been for our 10th but we never opened it. Its vintage is the same year we married! It seems a shame to even consider drinking it now.

It would be disappointing to open it and find out it soured. Such a pretty bottle and from the year you were married, for sure just keep it as is.

I love it when forum members from other countries add a couple of words here and there of their native languages. I get that this is an English speaking forum, but it's always so interesting to find out food-related words in other languages!

I was just about to offer the exact opposite advice, as in, "That bubbly ain't doing anyone any good in the bottle...pop that thing!" :laugh:
