It's kind of tough though if you make $60,000 a year but your
heating bill is $8000 if you have 4 kids and milk is $12 gallon
instead of $4.

There's thread running in my Arctic food e-list on chitterlings that
makes me smile as the term being used is "bum guts". I am adopting
that term forthwith.

In another forum I came across an interesting tasting chai mixture
from South Africa with Indian influences that allegedly has health
benefits as well as tasting good. It contains tulsi (holy basil),
cinnamon, rooibos (South African red bush tea), ginger, cardamon.
fennel seed, and peppercorns. The predominate taste is cardamon and
we were both surprised that we liked it.

      Title: Smoked Turkey Stock
 Categories: Soups, Smoked, Turkey
      Yield: 2 quarts
 
      2 lg Onions; coarsely chopped
      2 lg Carrots; sliced
      2 tb Oil
      3 lb Smoked turkey parts
      3 qt Water
     12    Peppercorns
      5    Whole allspice berries
 
  More delicate than stocks made with the more traditional smoked
  pork products, this is easy to do and makes a beautifully flavored
  base for soups and casseroles.
  
  In a large pot saute the onions and carrots in the oil over low to
  moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until the onions are a deep
  golden brown and very soft.
  
  Add the turkey parts, water, and seasonings. Bring to a simmer,
  then cook, uncovered, over moderate heat for about 2 to 3 hours or
  until the liquid is reduced by about one-third.
  
  Cool slightly, then strain. Chill the strained stock overnight,
  then skim off all of the fat that has congealed at the top.
