Oh Boy! You surely know how to get flavorful gravy Michelle. Chicken necks. The best. Also, for spaghetti sauce. Haven't had that since I lived home, and then joined the Navy.Crybaby wrote:We had roasted turkey, lots of gravy (I had a big bag of turkey necks in the freezer so I browned half of them up along with the giblets in order to make a lot of gravy), Jasmine rice, homemade cranberry orange sauce (the kind with whole berries), and pearl onions in cream sauce.
It was a delicious meal and it was just the two of us, so we ate when it was ready, with no rushing to get everything together. We love just the two of us!
Brian made chocolate pudding early in the day (he makes pudding for four and puts it in two stemless wine glasses so the portions are huge!) and I took them upstairs when he was done to put them in the little fridge in the guestroom. I knew we'd be too stuffed to eat them after dinner. He also handed me a can of whipped cream that he'd bought so I brought that up too. Gotta love that stairlift!
There was no way I could finish that pudding when he decided it was time for dessert -- I think that's his gameplan when he makes those huge portions, as he knows I won't be able to eat it and then he can finish mine off, too!
The good news is Brian went to the doctor last week and he gained 10 pounds, which is wonderful. He's up to 184, still thin for someone 6'4" but a lot better than 174. His doctor was tickled pink, too. And his PSA went down again and is at its lowest since 2016. That radiation is working, as are the new cancer pills he's been on for a while now.
The radiation really helped his back pain, too, but did nothing for his hip, knee and leg pain like they'd hoped. But the stairlift has helped his mobility for sure, which is super. So we're smiling in New Orleans!

Mom made sauce with chicken necks and backs. It was great, but she never strained the sauce. She said,"As brother sat at the table blue faced, and dad holding him upside down to dislodge the neck bone in brothers throat!" hahahahah..... It was funny back then, and there was no Heimlich maneuver.

L00KS Good Beth. Tina is making lima bean soup tomorrow.
My DIL loves it. I just cut the ham up so she can add it to the soup.
There was more meat on the bone, but it's a pain knifing out the good pieces. The animals can gnaw on it tonight. They are hungry from their hibernation.
All the snow is melted from the 6 inches the other day, and now we are awaiting another 2 to 4 on Saturday. Haaa!
