A few years ago I joked with my Uncle about the 20+ Creches he owns, collected on his world travels. “Surely, Uncle, you could part with ONE?”

The next week he gave me the whole shebang! I just love it and will cherish it always. It has the Three Wise Men and Camels and everything. :)

After I clean out the fridge this afternoon and do some meal planning (Gawd! Do I REALLY have to EVER feed us AGAIN?!?!) I'm going to set it up.

Beautiful dogs. Blue Heelers?

Yes Indeed.

My Blue Heeler is named Tippy, and she’s every inch a “working” dog.

Always moving, always on a “mission”.

Our neighbors who have a horse ranch raise the darker Heelers. Those dogs earn their keep and she gets top dollar for pups when she breeds them.

OK! It’s the day after Thanksgiving, so around here that means SOUP! Turkey Wild Rice Soup, to be exact.

https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/turkey-wild-rice-soup/#RecipeCard

My cheats/hacks: Instead of adding the flour to the sauteed veggies to make a roux, I thickened the soup with leftover gravy. Genius! I also chopped, sauteed and added a container of baby Porta Bella mushrooms. In lieu of water, I added homemade chicken stock, and just a little milk because the gravy thickened things up just fine. I did not add any salt, but added ground pepper and some freeze-dried Shallots. You can substitute cooked regular rice for the Wild Rice. Beau brought me some beautiful Wild Rice from up north a few seasons ago. It’s pretty expensive as an ‘everyday’ ingredient, though.

I’ll bet! They are hard working dogs and have great personalities.

LOL! Thanks, Pete!

A day early...and for once I HAD the dollar! :)
