Speaking of that someone offered to send me jam in a rep comment and now the comment is gone I did not reply right away and the comment got repped right out of there.

You have such a charmed life with those adorable little ones. Lucky you. I need a little one, or two, or three. lol

Oh well maybe someday.

What kind of pies are you making?

Happy to send you a care package!

We will have pumpkin and apple and im not sure what else.

I agree i am blessed to have them in my life.

I believe we are having ten or 12 people come for dinner.

ps. If you make it to a brunch you will have a chance to meet them

speaking of Tacos....and stuff Im wondering how many people here to enchilada's with their turkey leftovers? we do them every year...My son inlaws mother also makes turkey tamale's from scratch after ...we find all kinds of creative ways to work with the left overs. Enchiladas are my favorite though for left overs.

A care package? Awesome! Thank you. Ok I may survive this bachelor thing after all with my femme friends looking out for me

12 is a nice size group for dinner. I have done a lot of dinner parties for 12-14. That is a comfortable number for me. At home this is. My dining room table only seats 8 comfortably so I have to swap tables out to do a larger group or use the back yard and two tables. We can do this in CA year round, which is a bonus, as if living in CA were not enough of a bonus on its own.

Eventually I will make it to a brunch for sure.

Turkey leftovers..hmmm..as Corkey says "what leftovers?"

No seriously, I eat turkey sandwiches on oatmeal bread pretty regularly so leftovers usually become sandwich or soup. In the last year I have gotten into making simple stocks and loading up a soup with green leafy vegetables such as swiss chard, spinach, bok choy, collards, kale, napa cabbage. It all depends on my mood and what is good at the market. I will spin the soup in a flavor direction with lots of garlic, ginger, soy and a little rice vinegar or something like tomato, onion, cilantro, jalepeno, or tomato, more garlic, and a good romano cheese, again depending on my mood.

A good turkey or chicken stock can be turned into many different kinds of soup. Your enchilada idea is a good one though.

Also for those of us who are cutting back on carbs especially after the holidays it is good to have turkey on hand. The leftover turkey can be chopped up and added to green salads and then kicked up with simple fiery dressings or chopped and scrambled with egg whites. I worked with a lot of athletes this summer who wanted egg whites every morning so I made a variety of scrambles (posted a pic of one of my most requested scrambles on Facebook this summer not sure if you saw that) and some people were requesting roasted turkey in the scramble. At first I thought this was odd but after experimenting I found that the combination worked really well. For a high power boost I would scramble egg whites, chopped turkey, lots of spinach (it cooks down fast) and then a little diced tomato, onion, jalepeno. Some people wanted a little cheese mixed in, some hit it with hot sauce. Some asked for it in a whole wheat wrap (large tortillia) which worked well to take it on the run.
