Good series

Yup

Plumbing appears to have lost out to food.

Have a big pot of turkey soup on the burner. I like to take the misc pieces, boilem down, remove all the bones etc. I only froze half a breast, probably for a later curry. Separate out all the splintery bones for discard while the soft bones, cartilage, skin etc get taken out for the pups. The good meat is reserved. All the celery not used in the stuffing, onion, carrots, and eggplant from garden will get simmered down. A bit different this time, wife had me chop up some carrots in the vitamix for a carrot salad. I just couldn’t waste all that carrot water, so into the pot. After reducing to about half volume, I’ll hit it with the immersion blender, check the seasoning, but likely ok and then add the picked over turkey meat and peppercorns. Probably have some with just crackers, but maybe rice.

I had also separated out another bag of meat and will attempt to turn into a turkey pot pie.

Guess may indicate level of my game interest as I can see and hear as I cook.

I think we’ll be eating some variation of turkey until New Years

Our bird will be gone by tomorrow afternoon.

Roy, Phil, and others with black ice, stay vertical and be mindful of underpasses where water has refrozen.
And on curves. And on...
And here I am like a little kid waiting on the ice to freeze hard enough in the water retention area between this property and next that
I can go walk on it. Not the wisest idea with my spinal issues, but being out on the ice is a wonderful memory. Spent many winters as a kid
ice skating not far from here on the Delaware Canal that ran by/through our farm. There were and still are small wooden red painted bridges across the Canal, and you could tell how far you
had skated by how many red bridges you had skated under. Not much ice hockey here, that was more North of here. But at times there would be groups out on the ice
clearly playing a game with a puck. What a great way to take advantage of Mother Nature. Always a big to do about whether it was safe to go out.

the water of my interest is only about a foot deep. I can do this. And it would be skateable if anyone still had ice skates.
I'm just going to go take some pictures when the sun comes out which it's trying to do.
I'm sure the bird feeders need some help too.

Drew my father used to talk about skating on Neshaminy Creek. It must have been colder back then. The last couple of days I have dug out my silly hat for my morning walk. The one with the ear flaps that velcro under my chin. I may look odd but I'm warm.:thumbsup:

My vegetable beef soup was great and plenty of leftover. Ground beef, broth, tomatoes, onion, garlic, limas, green beans, carrots and garden peas.

David, the turkey soup sounds good too.

Got to around 41 today. Not windy at all. Got stuff to do tomorrow, I’m hoping for a good day.

Came time to eat and couldn’t chose so had some of both.
Pot pie came out quite well, never tried before, but then I didn’t exactly follow directions using left over gravy and mashed sweet potato as the binder.


Soup was excellent as well. Consistency is kinda like pea soup. I do the immersion blender thing because Sophie would otherwise try to pick out the onion and celery. Dog’s got a ladle over there stuff and licked the bowls clean.

I used to skate on the Little Neshaminy, we would play hockey on the area between 132 and 611 behind the drive in theater.

41F and cloudy, with showers in the area and heading in. Heading down to an overnight low of 36F.

At the rate it is going, I may be able to skate out of having to do any snow clearing ... at least for this round ... :thumbsup:

Temps mostly in the high 30's and 40's for the Ten Day, with 4 days of rain being called for.

Got hopper, two sunflower tube, deer, ear of corn, and squirrel feeders refilled. Four scoops of cracked corn put out for the ground feeders ... that caused hundreds of black birds to appear.

Trip to The Depot went well - got some 60w and 100w LED bulbs, another clamp light, 12-pak of Bounty paper towels, and 8 ceiling panels for the kitchen lights.

Ordered dinner from the Mexican place and swung by Lockwood United Methodist to drop off a bunch of paper/cardboard in recycle bins on the way over to pick it up. Also grabbed some half and half at Giant Eagle.

Got the ceiling panels put up in the kitchen after dinner. The light fixtures themselves really need to be remounted and centered on the light panels but it will do for now.

After that we went down and spent some time in the fish room doing a little maintenance.

Hope everyone had a great day.

Front passed through early afternoon and was dry. 4 inch snow in forecast for Thursday, wonder if it will snow or rain. Chapel first thing this morning, made pancakes for wife and I breakfast and got to try stepdaughter's homemade pear syrup, good stuff :licking:. Nap and conserve energy filled in rest of day, except for watching good part of Cowboys game.

Pulled down 2 trees today, here is 2nd tree, (first was much larger, but more rotted).

This one made for some pretty good firewood, Don's little electric splitter had trouble with the big rounds....It did surprise me and split some of them. I had to pull out the big maul with the pink handle.
