“Mom, the boys are eating all the popcorn,” as Mike and I grabbed another handful and ran from the room. “If you boys can’t behave, you’re going outside, do you hear?” Mom yelled from the kitchen.

I come […] - Turkey Revisited
This column will reach you a bit too late for presenting ideas for stuffing a turkey, but just in time for ideas on what to do about the leftover meaty carcass. First, I pick off all the meat bits the Thanksgiving feasters left on it. I freeze them in plastic packets. Then I break the […]
