It's the most wonderful time of the year!

I think the family I eat with were almost jealous yesterday :) Of course, I took my own time eating, but I ate well! And, the best parts, no weight gain and ZERO repercussions for me! No gas, no nothing - which is probably more than some of my fam can even say LOL!

We didn't have toooo many leftovers, but we brought enough home from our daughter's to have a meal - and that's what's on the menu for supper tonight :)

I really NEED some more wool socks...they're rather hard to find down here in the South. We don't have any Costcos, either.

I was a little disappointed yesterday (we did our Thanksgiving on Friday, since my stepdaughter was arriving for a visit yesterday) when I was making the gravy to find very little in the way of pan drippings.  But when it came time to cook the carcass for soup, I discovered the drippings had seeped through a hole in the foil to the bottom of the pan.  So I made the soup directly in the roasting pan and OMG - it is SO rich!

I bought parnsips, carrots, pearl onions and orzo for the soup, as well as all the bits of meat I salvaged off the carcass - any ideas for additional ingredients?
