T Stands for Thanksgiving in August

 

After a visit to urgent care, a pizza lunch, and an afternoon at the motel pool. the Two Old Ladies on the Road decided to treat ourselves to a real dinner. We went to the popular Hart's Turkey Farm Restaurant in Meredith, New Hampshire.

I can't remember if it was last year we were there or the year before, but we had their amazing Thanksgiving turkey sandwich called The Gobbler. Real roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, gravy on a brioche bun. This year we went all out for the Thanksgiving dinner. 

The waiter, the same one who served us lunch last time, started us off with drinks, I had my usual unsweetened ice tea with lemon. He also brought a delicious, house relish served with crackers. It was hard not to wolf down the relish and crackers because it was so good, but it would also mean not being able to finish dinner. He also brought bread (my downfall) and cornbread. My self-imposed rule on this trip was not bringing leftovers back to the hotel.

We both had ordered the small dinner which came with 3.5 ounces of turkey though it still looked like a lot more. There was also cranberry sauce, stuffing, and gravy. Because eating for the week was mostly going to be pizza, burgers, ice cream, I decided to get a vegetable, green beans, and a plain jacket potato.

We finished dinner and there was no room for dessert. We rolled ourselves back to our little cabin on the hill.

  2. I still haven't eaten at Hart's Turkey Farm Restaurant, but your early Thanksgiving dinner looks delicious. And being so chilly this morning, a big warm meal like that sounds super delicious too. If your chilly (it's 45 at my house) stay warm, and have a super T day.

    1. I'm hoping this means I don't have to have turkey for Thanksgiving. Once a year is enough. Last year at Thanksgiving we had lasagna or maybe ravioli.

  8. Fancy that! A turkey dinner in August! I bet it was delicious. it looks it. I often buy turkey meat as a change from chicken. Sometimes turkey breast or a leg. I divide it into portions and freeze it to cook as and when.
    What were the lovely ladies doing in Urgent Care? Do tell all.
    Happy T-Day,
    Lisca
