I cooked the bones from the thighs with carrot tops, celery tops and added 1 cup veg stock, I also threw in the bacon that I had cooked with the turkey in the oven. drained stock and threw out bones etc. seasoned with salt and pepper all of the vegs and sauteed onion, peppers, celery, carrots,and sweet peas in olive oil until al dente. (all pieces cut up to bite size). cubed meat, added hot stock to vegetables and the leftover gravy as a thickener. Brought to a boil and reduced to simmer. After reduced heat added cut up turkey. started white rice in rice cooker, when white rice was done cooking put in the bottom of bowl, ladle over turkey soup.
this turned out really delicious with enough to put in the freezer for another day. It did have more fat due to the bacon, but the flavor was out of this world! yum
Deuteronomy chapter 8
10 When you have eaten and are satisfied, praise the Lord your God for the good land he has given you. 11 Be careful that you do not forget the Lord your God, failing to observe his commands, his laws and his decrees that I am giving you this day. 12 Otherwise, when you eat and are satisfied, when you build fine houses and settle down, 13 and when your herds and flocks grow large and your silver and gold increase and all you have is multiplied, 14 then your heart will become proud and you will forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 15 He led you through the vast and dreadful wilderness, that thirsty and waterless land, with its venomous snakes and scorpions. He brought you water out of hard rock. 16 He gave you manna to eat in the wilderness, something your ancestors had never known, to humble and test you so that in the end it might go well with you. 17 You may say to yourself, “My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me.” 18 But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.
this was spoken to Israel when they were getting ready to enter into the promise land, but I think it is certainly a good warning for all of us as well. We must not forget who it is that has delivered us from all manner of sin. He alone went to the cross:
Do not be far from me,
for trouble is near
and there is no one to help. (Psalm 22:11)
It was not us who paid the price for our sin, it was Him. Thank you for the wonderful reminder to not let our hearts be proud, but remember what you have done.
Luke 22:18-20
New King James Version (NKJV)
18 for I say to you,[a] I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.”
19 And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.
Blueberry jam
I tried to make blueberry jam today
won't know if it gelled enough
but it was a beautiful color and quite shiny when i stopped cooking it
if will either be a jam or a sauce if i didn't boil it long enough
i followed the directions in the canning book, but they don't give you a "time" to cook it is all technique...so this really was an adventure
