Waste not want not

If the turkey had known how many meals he would provide perhaps he wouldn't have minded giving up his life. After dinner my son carved the rest of the meat and left me the carcass. I Put it in a pot of water and let it simmer. This morning I peeled off the rest of the meat and added chopped onion and celery to the pot. When the fresh vegetables were done I added a cup of pasta and frozen vegetables. It is now cooling and will go in the refrigerator for either lunch or dinner tonight. It is no doubt good that I grew up in a time of waste not want not.

This reminds me of a time my mother made soup out of left over corn and an onion and called it cornion soup.
