Left Over Mashed Potatoes, 1868

Add enough flour to make a dough thick enough that can be  rolled out, a shake of Salt and Pepper added to flour. Roll out on floured board, then cut in oblong pieces then roll each oblong piece into  kind of a  horn shape by putting a thumb on a corner and roll around.

Dry these as you would dry fruit.

 These can be added to soups or broths - cook covered about 7 minutes till they come to top.

Cinnamon Rolls.

Growing up, we had homemade sweets all the time. Cakes, cookies, brownies, crisps and cobblers. Mom grew up in Rural Missouri, and everyone worked hard every day. Her grandfather raised and trained mules. He used the mules every day.  Mules knew he had a treat for them and it may have been a cookie or a treat out of the garden.

.Turkey Hash

From Mom's Recipes box.

As a single Mom of three kids, Mom couldn't afford to toss out left-overs. She came up with many ways to make over left-overs. I would help her as I grew up.

After we had finished our Thanksgiving dinner and we were clearing the table, we would make up plates, to wrap in plastic wrap, and then freezer paper. Then labeled and placed in the freezer, to become T.V. dinners. Mom and I would strip the meat off the bones making sure we didn't leave any small bones in the meat. Mom also saved the broth from the pan. Some, she poured over the stuffing that was left over. Some was frozen, to use in Turkey noodle soup, some to make gravy for those T.V. dinners.

I have almost forgotten that I even had some blogs let alone remembered to keep them updated.  

Easter was a long time ago and I don't reall recall how I decorated. We did spend the day with Daughter and her kids. They are growing up way to fast.
