I made taco salads. Gotta keep it simple in the midst of Thanksgiving prep.

Simple dinner tonight here as well. Lobster ravioli with brown butter and Parmesan

Take out pizza tonight. We were going to go to our favorite local Thai place which has awesome food and an amazing bar tender, but they are closed. The other two places here in town have either meh food and an OK bar, or OK food and an abysmal bar, and they are both $$$. Given the mountain of grading I need to do before Tuesday, the housework, and two different Thanksgiving meals on tap (one for Thursday, one for Saturday), I'm taking the easy way out.. and doing take out!

I made Hamburger Helper tonight since I didn't want to do too much cooking before T Day. Walmart delivered 96% lean ground beef, which I've never tried before, but oh my gosh it was SO disgusting. It takes a lot for me to throw out uneaten food, but this went into the trash. Thankfully, I had some leftover fried rice, so we ended up eating that for dinner.

I wonder, if the meat was bad. We eat 96% lean ground beef & can't tell much of a difference.

That wouldn't surprise me and it would make more sense. I feel bad for dissing 96% lean but I am used to 80% lean and the taste was definitely way different.

Don't feel bad. We all like what we like. I wouldn't be surprised, if the meat was bad though.

That’s almost raw meat!

We'll see this afternoon.
I am assuming, turkey, stuffing, green salad, broccoli, rolls.....I'm bringing mashed potatoes and gravy.
I'm bringing pumpkin cheesecake, chocolate chip cheesecake bars (gluten free) and Lemon meringue pie.

The fat content makes a big difference; much of what we think of as the "flavor" of the meat comes from the fat. We absolutely won't use 96% anything, and if we do get it (usually turkey or chicken) we need to add fat to the cooking pan to keep it from sticking and such.
