What’s for Dinner Tonight?

We went back to the BIL's house to have leftovers for lunch yesterday then last night we had dinner at a restaurant a couple towns over. I worked night shift last night and brought the leftovers from dinner to work with me. We went out a lot this week and today I had leftovers from another one of those dinners.

I am just complaining. I took a break from baking today to can pasta sauce (I convert the whole tomatoes I canned into sauce) I just had a canning jar explode while canning. I wish I could explain how much sauce I just cleaned. My poor stove. It looked like I tried to kill it.

Edit to add a picture. This was the canning pot. Didn’t think to take one of the kitchen while trying to quickly clean.

Long day and I'm exhausted.
Went to the zoo with DD and DGD.
Came home and my new laptop wouldn't open anything. DS came over and it took him 45 minutes to get it going again.....long time for him. Thank goodness he got it going again.
Put up some decorations, but I'm done for the day other than dinner which is going to be a new recipe for us, Chip-Dipping Chili.
We'll see how it goes
 
Saturday night was our family Thanksgiving. We had a lovely time, but... we forgot to make both the pea casserole and the stuffing! We do a smoked turkey and don't like stuffing in the bird, so we usually just do jacked-up Stove Top... but not this year! We had plenty of leftover turkey, but no mashed potatoes and very little roasted veggies.

Sunday DD and I were at Nutcracker rehearsals from 11:20-6:30, and neither of us could face more turkey, so we did take-out Thai. Can't remember what went home with her, but I had Tom Kla soup with shrimp and DH had masaman curry with chicken.

Tonight will be leftovers. There was almost no smoked turkey left, but I'd also roasted up a 1/2 turkey (77 cents a pound, so we'd have drippings for the gravy on Saturday) so we'll be working on that for a while. Not sure if I'll make the pea casserole and stuffing we should have had on Saturday, or just make Thanksgiving night sandwiches (which will still entail making stove top).
 
We had a Sunday Roast Dinner, albeit a little light on traditional sides - just mashed potatoes and pan gravy with an arugula salad DH bought. Kind of sup-par though because a decent cut of beef is ridiculously expensive so I went with a small (very small - 2lb) sirloin tip, which wasn’t near as succulent as I would have liked and the size made it hard to nail mid-rare.
