Sleds and Soup

With it's blanket of snow still hanging around from early in the week, Thanksgiving morning became a sledding day. SB, also known as Boppie, (aka Grandpa) and oldest granddaughter 'Little E' tear it up on the 'bunny hill'.

Turkey Soup Another first!

I've only cooked an entire turkey a few times in more than 38 Thanksgivings since SB and I were married. This year being one of them. The bird turned out perfect! I was so proud and as daugher-in-law K and I were cleaning up she asked what were we to do with the carcass and all of it's parts. "I'll make soup!" I told her. I've never done that before and so in the spirit of 'SixtytoEighty' I made turkey soup. (With rice because I can't eat wheat. ) K was a good sport and picked that bird clean. A heroic undertaking as she is vegetarian and this was a stretch for her. With a little help from The Food Network website and patience as the stock boiled down, I have to say this was the BEST SOUP I've ever eaten. Another first as I continue to fill the months between 60 and 80 with new adventures.
