Turkey Soup - So good for the soul!


Good Evening and almost Good Night!

We are glad it is the end of the day; another full day.

In between everything else, I ended up making a delicious soup from left over Christmas turkey bones. "Threw" in a bit of veggies, a tid or tad of seasonings; and that was that! Made a few large pots of steaming turkey soup; it smells so good throughout our whole house! It will be a good enforcement against the common cold. I will save some of that homemade soup as stock; and pull it from our freezer when necessary. The above photo image looks very similar to our soupcon of soup! Serving the soup with cheese biscuits and a green salad, hmmmmm; and a glass of red vino! Very simple, but good! - easy! I also enhaled some 8 oysters (I love oysters!); so, I 'soaked' them in a tidbitz marinade of vodka, tabasco sauce, and a few other bittidz sprinklings; and yum! They were a real treat! Raw! Mmmmmmm. For those of you who love oysters, you can savour these mouth watering 'to die for' moments! Actually, to live for, is more like it!

Tidbit - "Roll with the punches!" In other words, if "stuff" unexpectedly hits you from 'out of left field', fear not (for He is always with you); just be extra joyful and enjoy! ie the oysters, the soup, or whatever delectable treat(s) you appreciate!

Bittid - Be grateful for the end of the day; and for the calm of night. Give Him Thanks; and Praise Him in All Things. We do this daily; and it really helps, in appreciating your life, when living one day at a time.

Also, Alan's Mum and Dad are still in the Emergency; but at least his Mum now has the comfort of a bed; and the Dad will be provided shortly with a bed / cot as well. Alan was told there was nothing more he could do; save to stand by and wait for updates. As an aside, I thought the homemade turkey soup would help fortify Alan; for whatever lies ahead of him. The hospital has our telephone number; so, that is all I can say at this time.

Sweet Dreams and God Bless.
