Usual Lapse…

Okay, in hosting Thanksgiving, having to get articles into the paper a day early, plus squeezing in an extra article to promote a local group, one of the things that gave way was me posting to the blog. Laundry is also a must today.

Mother Nature was kind with beautiful weather and I do sympathize with those who suffered through otherwise. Having others bring some dishes did help although my decision to do sweet potatoes and the second type of dressing, as well as traditional plus the second turkey certainly resulted in plenty of leftovers for everyone. In fact, I am sure the turkey soup situation will result in one pot and one container filled with stock and turkey pieces to go into the freezer. I am old-fashioned on this one where I strip as much skin off as I can from the carcass (two in this case) and bring it to a boil, then low cook for two hours and let sit in the pot off the burner until it cools. Since that takes around another two hours, there is a lovely aroma in the house before I tackle the messy process of tossing bones, skin, and “yucky stuff” while saving the rich stock and edible bits of turkey. Yes, I saved appropriate slices for turkey sandwiches. Hubby has to work the next few days, so am not sure when the lunchtime turkey sandwiches will be made.

I have two versions of soup I make in order to keep it low carb as I have mentioned before. One uses the frozen riced cauliflower that really does resemble rice. The other version is more heavily vegetable and I use silken tofu as the thickener. This is the only time tofu is in the house. I might experiment with turkey white chili this time. The issue there is most white chili uses beans and all are high is carbs. We’ll see.
