Secret Projects Make for Bad Blogging. Sorry about that. But in addition to the Christmas craziness, I've also been cooking. Know what this is?
Turkey stock simmering away. Apparently I have a real thing for scraps. As I cook, I take all of my onion peels and carrot tops and other vegetable cuttings and throw them in a ziploc bag in the freezer. Then, when I have a turkey or chicken carcass, I throw them all in together and simmer for 4 hours before straining. And there I have something from nothing - and so tasty! I think I have about 6 or 7 quarts of turkey stock cooling in my fridge now, all from things that could have been otherwise thrown out. It's just like all those great knitting projects from scraps.

Yum, I can smell the turkey stock from here. I didn't have Thanksgiving at my house this year and sorely miss the leftovers.
We do that too, and usually have "steamboat" (Chinese fondue to those who don't know)!
I thought only people who lived through the Depression did that :-)
I do throw leftover veggies in the fridge for vegetable soups..
Always resourceful, Ms Theresa!
Yum, indeed. Our turkey stock is all made and in the freezer, waiting for a time when we're not sick of turkey. We had a nearly 20 pound turkey, so it may be awhile before I can even think about it again.
YUM!!
I would choose to visit your blog on an empty stomach and find this photo! It looks great from where I am sitting :)
The stock looks beautiful--even to a vegetarian :-)!
The turkey stock looks great! You're pretty thrifty there, girl!
Wow, that is so clever! I'll definitely have to try that.
It IS the secret keeping time of year...some year I am going to try those ornaments. I can't belive I've had Handknit Holidays since last summer and haven't made anything from it yet.
