Life is Like a Turkey Sandwich

December is a month of change and transition, where we all say goodbye to the old, and wait with great anticipation for the new! This has to be the most exciting time of the year as we all get a chance at a fresh start or beginning. Now, some of us might be perfectly happy with all the good fortune that has come our way over the past 12 months and looking for more and more of it to come! The rest of us might be so glad for this fresh start, closing the door on 2011, and hoping that 2012 will finally be the year where everything falls into place for us - making it “our” year.

You know what, it doesn’t matter - Each and every day brings a gift.

Think of your life as a turkey sandwich. Has it been a stack of dry left over bird, on some plain white bread with a little bit of margarine to hold it all together? If this is you, that’s ok. Your life is how you build it. If you do not have the resources at hand, you can make do with what you have. This turkey sandwich will sustain life and keep you going until someone throws a little cranberry sauce your way.

But! If you do have the resources and choose not to access them, think of what you’re missing. How exciting it would be if you let nothing hold you back and created a sandwich filled with LIFE! The ultimate turkey tower - multi grain bread filled with juicy pieces of white and dark meat, cranberry mayonnaise, fresh tomato and pepper sprouts, a slice of jalapeño Havarti with a couple rashers of crispy side bacon, finished with some nice buttery avocado and just a hint of sweet honey mustard. Now we’re talking!

I strive every day to fill that sandwich. Often my palate will grow tired of the same old thing, so it’s up to me to make the change! If you can, don’t settle for dry turkey on white bread. Look at the year ahead as a buffet of opportunity to spread almost anything and everything in that turkey sandwich of life!

Here’s to the coming year and all it has in store. Be grateful for the sandwich you have, and make it your personal goal to use everything you can, and fill that turkey sandwich for 2012 with some great cranberry sauce!

I’m giving my recipe to each and everyone. Spread it and have fun!

Happy Holidays!
Mike
 


Cranberry Sauce

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound bag of fresh berries

  • Zest and juice of 1 orange, 1 lemon, 1 lime

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • 1 cup cranberry juice

  • 1 tsp. Dry rubbed Tarragon

  • 1 cinnamon stick

Method:

Place everything in a sauce pan and bring to a simmer. Let simmer for 30 minutes so berries have a chance to pop. The natural pectin in the berries will thicken the sauce. If you find it too thick add a little more cranberry juice to let it out. Store this in the refrigerator or freezer until you need it.
