15. We cooked a lot of food yesterday (and some on Wednesday), too

Nov 2020

Today we packaged it all up - ten half pound bags of turkey meat, froze eight; enough dressing for eight servings, along with gravy. Six containers of turkey broth. Spoonbread does not freeze well so that and the chocolate pecan pie are still in the refrigerator along with another meal of turkey and dressing with gravy.

Even years that we go to family for T-Day, I try to get a turkey to cook so we have turkey for months. At Christmas I get a spiral sliced ham and do the same thing - split it up, freeze bags, and have ham for months. Owning a big freezer can pay off with planning.
