I’m kicking around some ideas in my head for creative use of leftovers.
Last night I made stock out of the turkey bones, and I have to say, this might be the tastiest stock I’ve ever made. I let it bubble on the stove all night (because I enjoy the dangerous thrill of potentially starting a fire while Kev and I sleep) and today I have collected copious amounts of the liquid gold.
So tonight, no brainer: turkey soup. I’m also thinking of making stuffing/cranberry stuffed biscuits (from a can, there is only so far I’m willing to go here, people).
Another idea I had was turkey and spinach lasagna. Mmmm…
This still leaves sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes, and a lot of cranberry sauce, stuffing and turkey left over.
Assuming we get sick of sandwiches REAL quick…anybody out there have any special ways to kick up thanksgiving leftovers?
****leftover success!***

and after:
deeelicious.
also, mental note: might not be a good idea to overdo it feeding Sadie thanksgiving goodies. As a direct result of us overindulging her yesterday…welll….
She had what Kev and I like to call “an emergency situation.” She was acting all weird tonight - restless, whiney…well, more than USUAL…refused to lay down and relax. “Do you have to pee AGAIN?” I had just taken her for a walk a couple of hours ago.
Oh yeah, she had to pee. And…other things. Messy things. Three times, at least. Deep in the wooded area behind the condo, so I didn’t actually SEE anything, but boy did I smell it!. Yeeach. I hope the people who live in the corner unit of my building don’t come outside tonight. Sorry ’bout that.

Just reading yesterday’s post. “You might get one card, you might get AIDS!” made me snort. Really hard. A cat heard it and flew out of the room.
OOOhhhh stuffed biscuits….
Oh you ARE evil, woman! You don’t have to diet for the wedding dress anymore.. whereas I am trying to wear red for my birthday next year!!! DAMN!
they were lowfat biscuits.
the italian sausage in the stuffing wasn’t, though
I guess I shouldn’t mention that I’m currently making turkey devonshire for lunch…right?
I’m pretty tired of the turkey already, but I might have to persuade myself to do one more sammitch, with stuffing and cranberry sauce spread on the bread.
Turkey soup might be in the future–Mom’s sick and hasn’t eaten all day so that might tempt her out of the starvation once she wakes up.
