Garden Fuss

Multimedia Message Happy beginnings to the holiday season friends. It's been a while since I've updated with so many activities this time of year. I will be retro-blogging as soon as I have a few more minutes. However, I could not help but tell you to not discard thoseturkey carcasses just yet before making a yummy vietnamese soup called Pho. Like many of you the rich fare from thanksgiving has left me with some bloating. This recipe will utilize some of the old and make you feel brand new.
The recipe: 
cover turkey remnants with water and simmer til what's left falls off the bone
season with salt pepper, garlic and onion(powder is fine), add scallions, bok choy(chopped), and what ever veg you like. (I use a little hoisin and soy in my stock as well)
 Prepare your rice noodle as directed on lable
Ladle broth into bowl
add...

It is that time of year when we get the ovens hot and they stay that way til at least March. I love the smell of fresh baked goods and roasting vegetables and meats. This lovely pie is a seasonal gift my sister puts together for us every year with sweet potatoes straight from Missippi. My father in-law buys them for us every year, and we divy up some for pie some for candy yams, and some for just baking. As far asthe pies,everyone gets a whole pie of their own(Awesome), but we share them with one another and slowly indulge in them througout the fall and winter season. With Thanksgiving around the corner this pie will be on the table for all....... Or will it? It's been a long time since we have had pie. ;o)
