We added some leftover yams on the side and had a bowl of miso soup (from mix) as well.

Leftover Turkey Lo Mein

Ingredients

• 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 Tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 Tablespoon oyster sauce
• 1/4 Teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 4 Cups cooked spaghetti
• 2 Teaspoons sesame oil
• 2 Tablespoons peanut oil (we used canola oil)
• 4 Minced garlic cloves
• 3 Cups broccoli florets
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 lb turkey, cut in strips (we just eyeballed the amount)
• Green onions to garnish (optional)

Instructions
1. In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, brown sugar, oyster sauce, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

2. Combine the pasta and sesame oil in a bowl. Toss until well coated.

3. In a large skillet over medium-high height, saute the garlic, broccoli, and onion for 5 minutes in your chosen oil (peanut, canola, or other). Add the turkey and saute for 5 more minutes, or until cooked through.

4. Add the pasta and sauce mixture to the skillet and cook 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

5. Garnish with green onions and serve.

Happy Thanksgiving!

To all of my US readers, I’d like to wish you a happy Thanksgiving.

I’ll be busy with friends and family today and perhaps the next few days, so posting may be light, or non-existent.

Just be careful if you’re going out to battle the sales, and make sure to think about what you’re thankful for, because that is the whole point of this holiday.

Join Vocal Point and Get Coupons and Freebies in the Mail

I posted about this briefly yesterday, but I wanted to share what I got in the mail last night after I posted. Yep, it was another awesome surprise from Vocalpoint.

Just to recap, I joined Vocalpoint a few months ago after I saw some other bloggers raving about it. At first I was like “what’s the big deal?” and then I started getting the mail. Awesome samples came my way, like Secret Deoderant. Then I received two $3 off a box of Kashi (which equaled free cereal) plus a ton of $1.50 coupons. A little later I got $2 off any Pantene Shampoo or Conditioner, plus five $1 coupons.

I always get tons of coupons and awesome surprises from them, so I was delighted to see that yesterday I not only received coupons for Del Monte’s new SunFresh and Orchard Select fruit, but also a rubber jar opener, (which is something we greatly need in this house, I always end up putting on rubber kitchen gloves to try and open a jar).

The coupons included one Buy One, Get One Free, and five $1 off coupons. I can’t wait for a good sale to take advantage of a good deal with these coupons.

So, if you’re interested in getting fun surprises like this, make sure to sign-up for Vocalpoint. That’s all you have to do and then all the samples and coupons show up in your mail box. It almost seems silly not to sign up.

Samples, Freebies, & Coupons 11-23-09

I love Thanksgiving week. It’s great because it’s a short work (or school) week, and there’s lots of delicious food on the horizon. Since I’m not traveling out of town this year, I’ll get to relax, eat a lot, enjoy the company of friends, and work on my novel.

I’m not into Black Friday shopping, though I know many other people like to snag the deals on that day. Black Friday Ads.com has all the ads for the Black Friday deals. Also, Mash Up Mom has a post where she’s collecting all the best deals, so check that out as well.
