Good work all you do righters!

I cooked a "fabulous" Thanksgiving feast today. Turkey breast, 2 yukon spuds, 1 yam with maple syurp and butter, green bean casserole, freshly made cranberries, stuffing, gravy, and crustless pumpkin pie with whipped cream. I haven't eatten such a wonderful meal in so long (that I have prepared anyway).

Still to come is the apple pie I made with phyllo dough instead of real pie crust, and I added cinnamon red hots to the filling when I was adding the sugar. That will taste so good in just a few minutes.

And.....drum roll - I cleaned the turkey carcass, put it in my soup pot, added water, carrots, onions, celery and fresh rosemary, thyme, and sage. It is still simmering. I'll strain it, and then cool it down in the fridge overnight and skim off the fat. I'll have my own turkey veggie stock. Think I'll put the veggies through the blender and add it to the liquid with more fresh veggies of some kind. Can't get too many veggies you know.

I'm very proud of my cooking today. It was all just too good. And my kitchen it cleaned up.

P.S. DH loved it also. And Jack got a very little bit of the gravy. After I poured the Fat Free gravy (the kind from a jar) into the real turkey gravy that I made, I put his dog food into the gravy pan and stirred it all around to pick up all that flavor and then added 2 small scoops of gravy into his bowl. He ate most of his food right up. Happy Dog.
