Leftovers
Let us all join hands.
The turkey is finished.
I made it and ate it and ate it and ate it. Finally I took the last parts I use for soup and put them in a freezer bag for a later day.
The turkey is gone. The refrigerator seems larger. The animals are calmer and I am dreaming of fish.
I hate throwing out food and I hate eating the same thing over and over.
A turkey goes from a thing of beauty all trussed and crispy with mahogany colored skin and aromatic stuffing to a pile of bones, skin and assorted turkey like crumbs that more resemble road kill than the original Norman Rockwell perfection.
The turkey has flown my coop and Kitchenaid fridge and I am happy.
(Obviously I haven't a damn thing of importance to say today.)

Hey! I like hearing the little tid bits of your day. It's not nothing. It's interesting.
Can you freeze the turkey leftovers when you're done so you're not stuck with either throwing it all out or eating it ad infinitum?
Can you make a Turkey Leftover Pie? (or a Leftover Turkey Pie)
Holy smokes laurenbove...new picture all the time! WOW is all I have to say...no leftover turkey for you!
Irina, is that a dung beetle...tell me I'm wrong...
