Good Times and Special Events

Our Very Special Christmas Tree of 2016

Turkey Bone Gumbo: Leftovers as Pleasures and Treasures

Leftovers. A word with negative connotations to many, but not to me. To some folks, the fridge-filling presence of something as big and challengingas the rest of the Thanksgiving turkey, or remains of the ham, or a mostly-finished rotisserie chicken is a burden, but consider revising that attitude. I see such items as a head start on a brand-new ...
