What leftovers can do

Now the turkey, green been casserole, a can of corn pluss leftover mashed taters all into one bowl.  I think I have the food networks folks beat to a pulp around here.  And there is another 5 lbs of bird to eat after sandwiches and what I did in leftovers tonight.  Well after folks that I invited over and not calling me when they should have I am not surprized that I have a lot of the bird left over. So I will utilize in what I cooked and I think I can bungie cord leftovers to the truck also.  Do not under gestamate me at all at this moment.  Well I still have tortellas left in the fridge for wraps and a few other things for leftover turkey here in the can.  I think that is what erks some folks today about me is if I have leftovers I will use them up to the fullest.  I missed the turkey bones for soup stock when the Hippy is out of here.  Turkey and split pea soup is what I am really craveing at the moment.  Even the emergin blinder can help in that matter around here without tearing up the pots and pans.  And a quick meal during the week of course.  The 30 min meals are a crock of crud in my book.  It takes at least a good couple of hours for dinner to be served in my place comeing from scratch.  Even with leftovers here takes a bit for chopping diceing and mixing.  I cook in how I see fit and turkey all year round will not work in my household at all.  So now I mix it all up with chicken, ground burger, and pork thru the month and the turkey on about 3 months of course.  Mix alot of it up it won't hurt the family at all now adays.  The stake and fish recipies went out the window along time ago with me.  I still cook from scratch alot around here and thursday was no exception to it.  Between the bread and a few other things here in the can.  Ok I got 2 pie crusts.  It is one of the rare treats I do get around here.  It does take longer to cook granted and it is so well worth it all togeather for my place.  I look at people and say boxed what.  That is the running joke for my place now.  There are so many alergies to food out there today that I am surprized that more folks haven't tried cooking from scratch like our parents did and our grandparents out there.  So try it some day and it does get easier the more you do it also.
