Hi Dave,


 SH> Will do.  No pumpkin just blueberry and mincemeat (and some mincemeat
 SH> cookies after you told me they were a thing)

 RH> OK, you can eat it; I had a piece of pecan pie tomorrow and brought
 RH> home another one that I enjoyed today. We also brought home the turkey
 RH> carcasse and the ham bone (both with a good bit of meat on them) to use
 RH> for soup once we take more meat from them. The turkey soup is a
 RH> tradition in my family, usually done with the Christmas turkey, that
 RH> our older daughter has carried on with her family.

 DD> Or use the ham bone (w/meat still attached) as the basis for a nice
 DD> pot of han & beans or ham & bean soup.

The ham bone will be used for soup--after we take a bit more meat off of
it. It was taken home with a good bit of meat on, enough for a couple of
meals, chopped ham sandwiches or whatever before souping. Trying to
decide between lentil (have them on hand) or split pea (need to get some
peas, which can be done with other shopping).

Today we cooked down the turkey carcass. Got a jam packed quart box of
meat, 3 not quite (to allow head room) quart boxes of stock in the
freezer and 3.5 quarts of stock to go into the fridge. Of all that,
about half the meat plus 1.5 fridge quarts will go into turkey soup
later this week, remainder of turkey plus some will go into turkey
casserole. Remainder of the fridge stock and frozen will be used in
various meals thru-out the winter.

 DD> I sometimes buy ham bones from Humphrey's market as doggie treats.
 DD> I'll use them first to make a pot of this. There isn't a lot of meat
 DD> on each bone - but across three there is enough to spiff-up the soup.
 DD> Bv)=

We've no dogs but do use ham bones, as well as turkey or chicken bones
quite often during the year in our cooking. For poultry I season the
water for the stock with a bit of salt and some Bragg's Seasoning--a
veggie blend. When it gets made into soup, I'll add some turmeric, a bit
more salt and some pepper.
