Default Do you have some thyme to read this?

I roasted a smaller turkey today, 13 pounds. I sliced it up to send to a
potluck that I didn't attend due to the terrible air, I rubbed it all over
with butter that had thyme in it, really a nice flavor, I used the carcass
to make some turkey soup. I made dumplings to go with it and a green salad,
we had it for dinner. The soup is so good, turkey carcasses make great soup.
I will be eating it for a few days, since it is always better the next day
too. Now, I am sick of fooling around with a turkey, so will not have that
for Thanksgiving.
