Happy Thanksgiving! LOL My mother used to serve those mashed
carrots/turnips. Couldn't stand the stuff. But if you and Kath like it,
have fun!

Of course gravy made from drippings, good god woman have you lost your mind?

I see no reason why turkey should be reserved for Thanksgiving. I'm not
really a fan of turkey (except for the dark meat) but if you like it, eat it
any time of year you want. I do wonder, as did Janet Bostwick, no gravy?

As I replied to her, yes there was drippings gravy.

May I ask where you live and what is the weather? I love a nice
turkey dinner, but I couldn't turn the oven on here in Georgia. I
hope you enjoyed your turkey dinner. I'm sure the kitchen smelled
heavenly.

I don't understand people who don't use the oven in the summer. Maybe
you've never heard of air conditioning. But even before a/c people cooked
what they had, be it outside or inside, by whatever method is necessary. I
use my oven year round. I also make/eat soup year round.

It did smell wonderful. I'm in Canada and the temp was 26C today, but I slid
it in the oven at 6:00AM this morning.

That's because you're a post-menopausal spinster sitting around in yer
dead parents' house with nothing else to do.

Vomit Chick is an idiot. Spinster? Why did they stop using that term
around 1920? And why does she think I need a husband to make me feel
complete? Sheesh.

While you might be more familiar than most with the terms in use during the
1920s, the term "spinster" is still in common use.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=spinster

The urban thesaurus top entries for "spinster" include: "old maid",
"desperate", "lonely", and "cat lady". There's also a newer word which has
passed you by: gettica -- "A rather plain or homely girl who has yet to
marry and has no children. She usually lives by herself (with a few cats). A
younger version of a soon to be spinster."

Can't hurt! I'd make stock with the carcass (there will surely be some meat
left on those bones). Toss in some diced onion, carrots, celery. Add some
basil and thyme and you've got the makings for a really good pot of soup.
Throw in some egg noodles and you've got turkey noodle soup. Or you could
add potatoes and call it turkey stew
