Turkey is not my favourite. I tolerate it and I cook it because it is
traditional and because other people in my family like it. I can handle
one dinner of leftovers and maybe two lunches with turkey sandwiches.
Then I don't want to see turkey for at least a few months.

I am glad that I am not the only one who dislikes turkey soup. I have
never made it. I have had it in restaurants that usually made good soup,
but turkey soup was never good.

I was in a bit of a bind when the Big Niece was here for Boxing Day and
wanted to take the carcass home to make soup. I was like a dog in the
manger. I didn't really want the carcass, but I had company and didn't
want to have to go to the kitchen to strip the carcass, and I didn't
want to leave her alone in the kitchen.
