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!***

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.
