It’s the day after Turkey Day. That means turkey-related leftovers, which are more than welcome in our little house! We made off from Aunt Sarah’s and Uncle Eric’s with the turkey carcass, which we use for turkey soup, of course. Robin prepared mashed potatoes for our daughter’s school Thanksgiving celebration, the leftovers of which become potato croquettes tonight.

The house really smelled nice today. Robin started simmering the turkey stock before lunch. By the time Chris and our daughter got home with the day-after-Thanksgiving Christmas tree, the comforting scent of turkey stock permeated the entire house. Just before dinner, we had the tree in the living room. Turkey soup and a Christmas tree – smells of the holidays.
