We ate out ourselves, at a dinerish place in Oxnard that we favor particularly for its Joe's Specials* -- comfort-food place named Henri's, at the Five Points intersection where Rte. 1 turns due north. The kind of humble but steady joint that serves you open-face roast beef sandwiches and at least three kinds of flaky pie kept on footed pie keepers on the counter.
Okay, a serving of white meat with a stuffing that incorporated shredded dark meat in it, with raisins to give it a piquancy. Robust for a stuffing, watch for drumstick tendons. Brown gravy on the breast meat, a chicken gravy with shreds of carrot on the mashed potatoes, sweet corn bread, and finished up with pie, pumpkin a la mode for her, apple for me.
Tasty enough, and not bad as a plan B, plan A having gone out the window, but I think I'll push for cooking our own feast next year.
*Joe's Special or Joe's Breakfast: ground beef, chopped onion, more chopped spinach, a little garlic and sauteed mushrooms scrambled together with eggs. Season(ed) with abundant black pepper and salt to taste, usually served with hash browns. Invented early in the twentieth century in San Francisco by a guy named Joe. Well, that's one of three origin stories, anyway.
Joe's Special, one of several recipes that a google will get you.
