     It's the weekend after Thanksgiving, and I don't know about you, but the days following this holiday feast, I don't have much desire to be in my kitchen.  If someone asks me what's for dinner I immediately respond, without hesitation -- leftovers!  The only thing I will do the day after is fill a pot with water and add the turkey carcass for stock to use in turkey and wild rice soup.  So... it was much appreciated (by me) finding the Pear & Poppy Seed Loaf  I baked last week, wrapped, and stored in my bread box.  A nice little treat along with my cappuccino the morning following Thanksgiving.
