The other day I took some frozen turnkey out of the freezer to thaw in the fridge. It's some I sliced up from our Thanksgiving bird. Yesterday I picked up some frozen vegetables because we were running low and I got some peas and carrots because I had not had any lately. So today I was thinking about making dinner and thought I'd make some mashed potatoes to go with the turkey and peas and carrots. It finally dawned on me I was recreating a TV dinner . . . sigh.

I haven't made it yet, but I'm going to.
