Whoever perfected bangers and mash must have had a profound appreciation for simple, hearty food, possibly had to survive long cold winters and had a knack for pairing food with beer. Oh wait. It was England.

Thanksgiving Sandwich Madness

Thanksgiving leftovers go in a sandwich. Period.

Shhh...quiet. I purposely stayed jetlagged last night and went to bed at 9PM Pacific so I could wake up at 7, sneak downstairs and make myself the first Thanksgiving sandwich using the best leftovers. Put down your pitchforks, this is nothing like the time I craftily absconded back to college with almost everything in the fridge.

Meat and potatoes. Aside from peanut butter and jelly or MAYBE bacon and anything, we can't think of a better combination. Shepherd's pie is hearty, easy to make a ton of for a large family or dinner party (the leftovers make a great lunch) and, barring vegetarians, universally-pleasing.
