We survived another one. That is another Christmas Day of course. We had a change of pace this year. My Mom is in Mexico right now, in-laws are in Cow Tow. So Hubby and I relaxed, visited with friends and had an awesome turkey dinner. (Cooked by myself) My tummy was so full after, I barely had room for dessert! But I managed to cram it in!!
Now, the bones are simmering along with onion skins, celery ends and leaves and carrot peelings to make some yummy turkey broth. My co-worker said I use 'garbage' to make my soup! I use all that to just make the broth, then strain it all and then use REAL celery, carrots and onions to put in the soup. So there's no 'garbage' in it. I told her that if she thought carrot peelings were 'garbage', we live in 2 different worlds! Even if I didn't use them in soup, they would NEVER go in the garbage, they would go into the composter. We get the BEST soil from our composter. It's amazing stuff, plants LOVE it!!
Freezing rain in the forecast today. Drat, I wanted to go for a hike. Since we don't have 2 feet of snow to tramp through, I figured it would be an easy walk. But maybe not so nice driving there if the roads are slippery.
So maybe a change of plans, perhaps some boxing day bargain sales instead. We shall see....
