And you as well hun. Whether you celebrate Thanksgiving or not. We should all be thankful for what we have, and the friends and acquaintances we share every day with.

I actually love to make the big holiday dinners! This year I didn't as I was invited to friends'. It was fun!

Wednesday was a "cooking day" for me, nonetheless. I had started a huge vat of my bone broth on the weekend. We save all fowl bones in the freezer. I found 5 "bone bags" when I was attempting to clean out my freezer. So I took 3 and made stock.

I first dry roast the bones in my electric roaster, then add water. The bones get boiled for 3-4 days until they disintegrate. Then, I strain them into pots and put in the fridge for the fat to rise. I'll skim off the fat and ladle the stock into freezer bags. I freeze flat so they're easier to stack. The fat will go outside for the birds. The solids I put through my food processor and pureed. I'm going to try making dog food out of it.

Now, I have homemade stock to make soups, stews, risotto, etc. I give some away to friends, too.

I also made my cherry pie filling. This year, I froze my cherries without pitting them to see if it would be easier. Pro tip - it doesn't really make it faster as each cherry still needs to be handled. But it is a bit easier to pit them after they've defrosted as they're softer. There's also a fair amount of cherry juice, which I strained and drank!

Once the cherries were all pitted, I put them in a pan to make the pie filling. I use a recipe that calls for honey rather than sugar. I love it as I can vary the amount of sweetness. I don't like the canned pie fillings as they're too sweet and gloppy for me.

I then used the cherry pie filling to make mini Black Forest gateau cakes. They were a hit on Thanksgiving!

You are welcome here!

Thank you, G! You won't be able to read my writing but I can drive you around!

 

[Lilianna23]

That is so true unless you care to take the risk of food poisoning. Not trying to be a downer as I want everyone to be healthy over the holiday.

Yes! Our parents, and us when we were younger, didn't know of the risks.

 

[Lilianna23]

It was my company and destinations that made it so much fun

Having that motivation makes it fun!

 

[Lilianna23]

Maybe one day that would be a possibility! I would love to have a snowball fight and build a snowman

Snowball fights and fort making at B2's?

 

[Lilianna23]

I have a question

If vegan food is so delicious why do they always try to make it taste like meat?

IKR????

I'll never put anyone down for their beliefs. But don't ever hand me a meat-less anything and tell me, "It tastes just like ____." No, no, it doesn't!

 

[Lilianna23]

I have the same question....

That's not usually how this thing we call "Healthcare" is supposed to work. We're the one who are supposed to do the calming!

 

[Missk_2022]

I think you mispronounced it. Just so we're clear on how you say it.

Proper pronunciation: "lake ef-fucked".

And it looks like this...

What in the hell is this bs.....

 

[Lilianna23]

Yep and when I come to visit we are for sure doing our nails

Absolutely! I have all the colors except yellows and oranges. I don't like orange and it doesn't look good on me. I don't see the point of yellow polish. I do, however, have ALL the pinks! And glitter! Lots of glitters!

 

[Missk_2022]

When I lived in Philly, we used to get between 18 to 24 inches of snow in December, and 3 + feet in January at any given time

F that

 

[Lilianna23]

I just say it...... gets me in trouble

Me, too, girl! Me, too!

 

[Missk_2022]

Sorry for the absence. It’s been a hectic week. I’m also not in my best frame of mind. The holidays suck and it’s just been a tough week. I’ll check back in on Monday. Hope you all have a good weekend. Please stay safe.

Hugs... I struggle too..
If it becomes too much check in sooner

 

[Missk_2022]

IKR????

I'll never put anyone down for their beliefs. But don't ever hand me a meat-less anything and tell me, "It tastes just like ____." No, no, it doesn't!

Yeah like "bacon" made from a mushroom......

LIAR!!!!!?!?!?!?

 

[Missk_2022]

That's not usually how this thing we call "Healthcare" is supposed to work. We're the one who are supposed to do the calming!

Right....

 

[Lilianna23]

My "poker face" leaves a little bit to be desired sometimes.


I think that's why a lot of people tend to be leery of me.

I bet under the right circumstances, you just look mean. We know what a sweetie you are but I'm guessing most don't.

I have a sweet and kind looking face. There are always those who think they can pull shit on me. They're always surprised when I bring the RBF!

(Resting Bitch Face, for those of you who don't know!)

 

[Lilianna23]

No...... dont mean to be indelicate...let's just call them skin folds

Enuf said! I hope it's working!

 

[Missk_2022]

I dont like yellow or green ...looks like something I have suctioned out of someone....or put ointment on....ha

You had me at glitter.....

 

[Lilianna23]

Tell her you will do it when she chooses the 7 teeth she wants to keep

I'm so glad you're my friend!

 

[Missk_2022]

Me, too, girl! Me, too!

"Just Say it to my face"

My response: you won't like it....

 

[Lilianna23]

Yeah.... me too....

It makes me a little sad sometime. People have preconceived notions that are not true.....

But their loss because I am AWESOME

We KNOW you are! ️

 

[Missk_2022]

Enuf said! I hope it's working!

It is... soo sore before... now it is not..... I will buy more....and give as gifts. Worth every penny.... the other treatment felt like I was burning the flesh from my bones

 

[Lilianna23]

It's the vegan food that you aren't trying to get to taste like meat that is good.

I love vegetables!

 

[Missk_2022]

I'm so glad you're my friend!

I am.quick with a come back...sometimes they just pop out....

 

[Missk_2022]

I love vegetables!

Me too
