We’ve been getting really creative with our turkey! It all started with open-faced sandwiches topped with gravy and a side of winter veggies. For breakfast, we enjoyed sweet potato biscuits, and lunch is shaping up to be turkey nachos. Tonight, we’re planning to grab some pho from a nearby spot and mix in that leftover dark meat.

I like Pho, my kids were weened on it. Pho was really popular down in the bubble (what I call Cupertino area). All the kids eat Pho and they drink that tapioca tea, they will be lined up out the buildings to buy that bubble tea. My daughter loves that stuff.

That said, my uncle (R.I.P.) was married to a Filipino woman and my wife learned how to cook Adobo from her, that would be good with leftovers. They were divorced, but he raised her son, who was like a son to my Uncle. I used to be friends with a couple Filipino Families in San Diego, most of their wives of them and friends were nurses. They seemed to be cornering the market on that.

In Milpitas there's a place called Max's of Manilla, and they deep fry chicken, it's good. They also deep fry beef ribs. Do they fry turkeys like that in Manilla? That said, I am not a fan of that Banana Ketchup...something odd about it.

So far, I'm just going turkey sandos, on my homemade bread.

I totally agree about Filipino food! I've had so many great experiences trying their dishes. I can genuinely vouch for that.

Yeah, I like the food also...I also like Indian food a lot, especially Biryani. The Adobo is similar to Japanese taste, it has soy and vinegar, as I recall. My wife used to make that with chicken wings and gizzards.
