The nest is empty. After ten days of hoopla and holidays, pumpkin pie and whipping cream, and comings and goings, the bedrooms are dark and the house is again asleep. One final trip to O'Hare to drop off Blogger Boy for his return to DC, while Law School Boy drove himself back to his current location, and the visitors are down to one. A last supper of turkey and stuffing, sweet potatoes and green beans, and the beloved raspberry jello, and the turkey left overs are ready for turkey soup. First thing in the morning, the onions, celery and garlic will be sauteed in olive oil, and fat free chicken broth with no MSG will serve as the base. Once the remaining turkey is added, along with chopped parsley, chopped dill, a little salt and pepper, and a few sliced carrots, the soup will be ready to eat in 45 minutes. Whether brown rice or small home-made dumplings are added will be decided in the morning sun.Having visitors over any holiday is a blessing, but having one's family together for a few days of conversation and R & R, is the best thing a person can wish for. My wish was granted.
