Build a Better: Thanksgiving leftovers? Hello, sandwich!

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:45:03 GMT

The turkey was grand and the mashed potatoes fab, but by day three or four, they’re getting a little … repetitive. Sure, you could pile everything into sandwiches with dollops of cranberry sauce and lashings of gravy, but here’s a little sandwich inspiration to shake things up a bit.Artisan Herbed Turkey and Brie Sandwiches: Liane Ingham (Richmond’s Artisan Kitchen) makes a turkey, roasted pepper and Brie sandwich that’s a fantastic combination at any time of year — but it works particularly well with leftover Thanksgiving turkey. You’ll find the full recipe here. But in a nutshell, you slather brioche or Francese rolls with a honey mustard-mayo (stir together 3 tablespoons honey mustard and 1 tablespoon mayonnaise), add a few leaves of romaine lettuce to prevent bread sogginess, then layer on roasted red peppers, thinly sliced red onion, turkey, Brie, tomato and English cucumber.Turkey Croque Monsieur: Francis Hogan (Pleasanton’s Sabio on Main, San Francisco’s Bluestem Brasserie) g...

Lisa M. Krieger | Bay Area News GroupSmell and slime are sure signs of a bird that’s gone bad.But the U.S. Food and Drug Administration offers more helpful advice for how long to keep your Thanksgiving leftovers.You have two to three days to safely eat or freeze your turkey, it says. The same goes for giblets.Three to four days is also a good guideline for soups and vegetable stews, especially if they contain meat.Was your Thanksgiving less traditional? Cooked beef, veal, lamb and pork should be eaten more quickly — within two to three days, the FDA says.While uncooked fish only stays fresh for two days, cooked fish can last three to four days. (If fish is smoked, it’s good for two weeks.)And that opened package of hot dogs will last a week. If unopened, it’s still safe at two weeks. The same time limits apply to luncheon meats.Sausage, if raw, is only safe for a day or two. Smoked links are healthy for a week.If you freeze your food — at 0 degrees Fahrenheit — it will last indefini...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:45:03 GMT

Daryl Hall has sued his longtime music partner John Oates, arguing that his plan to sell off his share of a joint venture would violate the terms of a business agreement the Hall & Oates duo had forged.The move quickly prompted a judge to temporarily block the sale while legal proceedings and a previously initiated arbitration continue.A Nashville chancery court judge issued the temporary restraining order on Nov. 16, writing that Oates and others involved in his trust can’t move to close the sale of their share of Whole Oats Enterprises LLP to Primary Wave IP Investment Management LLC until an arbitrator in a separately filed case weighs in on the deal, or until the judge’s order expires — typically within 15 days, unless a judge extends the deadline.Chancellor Russell Perkins issued the order the same day Hall filed his lawsuit, which was largely brought forth under seal, obscuring most details. An order Wednesday by the judge allowed more filings to be made public...
