So James and I were locked out of our house in the bitter cold for
seven hours. It was not a fun evening.

Cooking helps my mood, and I figured it would also warm up the house
and me, too. But I have no onions, and it's hard to cook when you're
me and there are no onions. So I went hunting for something with
onions already in it, and found two boxes of chicken chili. I sliced
black olives and mixed them in with the chili, and put that mixture in
a buttered casserole dish. Topped it with some polenta I made (added
chili powder, goat cheese, and butter to the polenta). Baked it for a
half hour. Very, very yummy. I feel a lot better now. (Partly because
I cried on my partners, partly because I'm warming up, partly because
I cooked, and partly because I'm finally in my ****ing house.)

Sounds pretty good! I made a corn pudding last night; maybe I'll combine
that with turkey chili when I get home, making a feeble imitation of your
meal. :-)

And I just made turkey gumbo, with leftover turkey and andouille...
The smells are driving me nuts right now, it smells sooo good. I have
to let it cook a bit longer though....

I think the good things you can make with turkey LOs are even better
than thre oriigional turkey dinner.
