Some folks think I'm cheap. I say I'm frugal. I spent my thanksgiving with 2 different friends. The food was wonderful at both places and I took leftovers.
My older friend, June Kinion and I had the Thanksgiving special at Mimi's Restaurant in Buford, Georgia I didn't grab a photo of that meal, but my friend was joyous and bragged that she was having dinner with a published author. I grinned! What a smile!
There was some serious cookin' goin' on!
I wasn't kidding! There was plenty of meat on the bones and I'll have stock to freeze! I am doubly blessed!
Do you use leftover bones to add flavor to your meals?
I do when I roast the turkey, but this year we're frying. I use ham bones, too, for beans or split pea soup.
Sounds like you had a serious eating festival on Thanksgiving, MM.
I've never used bones for cooking, but my brother in law uses them for turkey soup.
Valerie, What did you do with the carcass? Wouldn't it flavor soup nicely?
Joanne, I really did! I'll be eating those leftovers for another week, at least. YUM! Of course I add other ingredients!
Daughter was so excited that Mary brought her own containers! She was intent on sending all the leftovers home with her! We had a really good visit. I did hear that my 80 something year old uncle was trying to hit on MM though!
