Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 I had to chuckle at the part of making soup from the bones. Now I love to make soup from the bones left from the roasted turkey or a chicken and I'm sure the duck soup is just as good. My mother always referred to making soup from the turkey "carcass" so that's what I've always said as well. I found out not too long ago that the word "carcass" creeps out some of my family members. My witty wise-acre 13 year old grandson started calling the carcass Caracas and then from there it because "Venezuela Soup". I love homemade soup and I would make it several times a week if everyone else in the family liked it as much as I do. So you will have a roast duck dinner (soups wonderful!) and then some Venezuela Soup a few days later. LOLNow as for the SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder) --- are you taking your Vitamin D?

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 I remember one year I was staying at my sister's over Thanksgiving. I almost had a coronary when she threw out the bones! I said BUT what about the soup? She said we're not so poor we need to eat bones! I almost fainted! I said BUT the soup is the BEST part!!! It has Nothing to do with money!
