Thanksgiving traditions

So we did our usual multiple dietary restrictions thanksgiving and it was all delicious anyway.

10pm I get a call from callyperry, "Do you want this carcass?" I'm like, "yeah, sure, on your way back from dropping your mom off, toss it in the porch" (closed door, so no animals get at it, but unheated so it acts like a nice fridge.)

So now we have TWO turkey carcasses for our soup! It made really a lot and I needed to use the gigantic pot that we use for corn in the summer. callyperry and luckylefty share a birthday which is just prior to Thanksgiving, and this year they had a no-planning last-minute joint birthday party yesterday, so I was able to return the carcass with interest. We still ended up with well over 2 gallons for our freezer. It was entertaining to answer allergy questions. "Well, MY stuffing had no nuts, go ask what Cally's stuffing had!"

Tonight I'll make stir fry with turkey. I'll have to split it after all the vegetables are done so I can put tofu in some of it for the vegetarian in the household.
