Well yesterday's heat wave went away, looks like fall weather is here. Temps into the high 60's f but did get some sunshine.So with the cooler fall weather want to make a HUGE pot of turkey noodle soup with the bones from 2-12lb leftover turkeys from last weeks Dart banquet donated from Melinda and Gerry and stored in their freezer. I was able to borrow a large stock pot from the clubhouse to make to soup stock I do miss the large pots I use to have in my restaurant, but not worth keeping for the odd time I need them.
Started the broth at 7:30 this morning 3 hours boiling the bones for a nice hearty soup stock and smelling wonderful.

Now too cool to sit outside tonight so looks like we will have to suffer with less outside evening. But then a again fall is in the air.
Thanks for stopping in and hope your fall day was as nice as ours.
When we head south
Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this summer
When we had our other house, we had a huge garden. We would grow tons of tomatoes. Once they were ripe, I would cook them down and make the most delicious Italian sauce ever. We would grow our own herbs too. I would freeze gallons of sauce for winter. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteThe soup looks yummmmmy!
The sauce was wonderful really enjoyed it, and the soup very tasty as well. I have not had a garden for almost 30 years, I was usually too busy working to have time for one, barely had time to mow the lawn.
DeleteFall does make one want to make a pot of soup or chili. I carry one of those huge stock pots in the RV and use it maybe only twice per season. Nice to have it if I want it.
ReplyDeleteMaking soup is perfect for this weather
DeleteI can usually borrow a large stock pot if I need it which is very rare anymore.
We always had a big garden when we lived in Washington and loved it. However, after we moved to Texas, it wasn't quite so fun or so easy. Love fresh tomatoes picked off the vine.
ReplyDeleteNothing quite like fresh tomatoes off the vine.
DeleteHope that cool weather finds us soon! Mid west hast been very hot and humid. Cool salads are on our menu!
ReplyDeleteYou should be getting it soon. I would prefer warmer weather to go with cool salads.
DeleteBut we take what we can get I guess.
I finally figured it out, you're a foodie. Next thing we'll see you taking on Bobby Flay! :cD
ReplyDeleteI enjoy cooking and 10 years in my restaurant was fun. But not taking on Bobby Flay, out of my league.
