(Ed: This is a recycled post from Thanksgiving 2005. Sorry for the lack of posting here lately - I've lost my digital camera. A certain slacker I know has tons of my food pictures but has been remiss in sending them to me. Write me a rude comment below so I can use them as motivation for her).
I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.
As you may expect, I did a decent amount of holiday cooking. My family doesn't really like me to experiment on Thanksgiving, which is understandable (I guess). So I won't get carried away with pictures of a roasted turkey or mashed potatoes. Instead, I'll share possibly the best thing I ate over the entire holiday and wine filled weekend. I made a stock with the turkey bones the day after Thanksgiving, something which I find an absolute must. Throwing away the turkey bones should be a criminal offense, punishable by a lifetime of Taco Bell gordita consumption. After I made the stock, skimmed it and removed as much of the fat as possible, I decided to make turkey meatballs with finely chopped leftover shreds and pieces of turkey white and dark meat that are always lying around. I mixed the meat with an egg, parm cheese, parsley and formed them into meatballs. I seared them in a pan of olive oil and then let them reheat in the turkey stock. No need to get fancy with this - just season the stock with salt and pepper, toss in your meatballs and a handful of grated parm cheese to finish.
Edit: Cindy's comment below reminded me to post my chicken and meatball brodo dish, created from a similar stock based recipe. Cindy's right, it's easy and worth the effort to make your own stocks at home, especially on a cold winter afternoon or night. And even easier, my ham hock stock recipe for a variation.
That looks wonderful. I made turkey stock for the first time this year and it was fantastic (made great turkey soup with gnocchi) -- I only wish we hadn't eaten it all already. Will have to try the meatballs next year.

Good evening. I said to myself, I have things in my head that are not like what anyone has taught me - shapes and ideas so near to me - so natural to my way of being and thinking that it hasn't occurred to me to put them down. I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught. Help me! Need information about: Friedrich air conditioners. I found only this - sears air conditioners.

I don't like the earshot of all those lists he's making - it's like prepossessing too many notes at high school; you sense you've achieved something when you haven't.
