              I had a NY strip steak with pasta and broccoli.

              Earlier today I made stock from some of my Thanksgiving turkey bones. I needed up with about 5 cups of stock. I still have more bones in the freezer.

                For dinner on Wednesday, I used the leftover pork and drippings for a stir-fry with farro, carrots, celery, the last red bell pepper from our garden, mushrooms, dehydrated onion, and thyme.

                    When we shopped on Tuesday, the local grocery store had packages of large chunks of ham, so we bought one, and I used half of it tonight in black-eyed peas with mixed brown and red rice, celery, kale, dehydrated onion, and thyme. We have enough for two more meals. I froze the rest of the ham chunks for a future meal of either pea soup or lima beans.

                      I cooked our turkey breast remains and carcass with veggies for soup. Most of the meat I made into turkey salad with celery and onions for sandwiches on rye bread that I pulled from the freezer. A perfect meal for an evening with the temp at 20* and going down.

                          On this Friday morning, I cut up the apples, mixed them with the spices and sugars, and started the crockpot for the apple butter recipe that Mike made, and to which he posted a link. I'm making a half recipe because I have a 3 1/2-qt. Montgomery Wards crockpot. I had planned to do it overnight, but I decided that I want to keep an eye on the crockpot, since the recipe may have been written with newer ones in mind.

                            We had a rotisserie chicken, and I'm using the remains to make stock this evening.

                              Well, the apples cooked for 10 hours. I pureed them with my stick blender. After two more hours with the lid off, the apple butter has not yet reached a thick enough consistency. I am going to give it another half hour, and then I will put it into a covered container in the refrigerator. I can cook it down more tomorrow, then decide if I will can some of it.

                                I wound up cooking mine for about 18 hours total, but it was pretty thick after 12. (I kept adjusting the spice mix, and each time I added spices I cooked it some more.) In the end it was probably a little too thick.
