Happy Thanksgiving

...and save all that food! I'm thankful that the biggest problem I have with Thanksgiving is how to use up or store all the leftovers. Yes, I feel guilty about it when I stop to think. There are people who will be glad to have anything at all to eat and there are those who won't have even that.

Make the most of your Thanksgiving turkey

If you're having the traditional turkey dinner for Thanksgiving, you'll be needing ideas for leftovers soon! But don't try to eat it all up right after Thanksgiving. Around February, turkey starts looking good again. Pull the meat off the bone and freeze it until later, then boil the carcass until it falls apart. Take out the bones, strain the broth and pick out the smaller pieces of meat that stuck to the bones. Freeze these small pieces covered with some of the broth and you'll have excellent starter for turkey and noodles or turkey and rice or turkey and vegetable soup.
