I definitely boiled the gravy partly to try to thicken it (plus flour) but thats tougher to do. Im never using enough flour :-)
our original gravy supply ended and Im on the stock of boiled turkey bones that I made on Saturday night! Just froze 2 glass jars after removing some liquid to give it room for expansion (to avoid glass shatter).
we are near the end on turkey! Down to some breast for The Fred, plus single thigh / drumstick / wing, which I transferred from freezer to fridge. So all left in freezer is more bones for future stock and the 2 jars.
Im seriously pondering the roasting of another turkey except Id buy a smaller one at Costco or even Safeway and Id use the seasoning from Bon App recipe that my childs future mother-in-law used.

If you are going o use a glass jar, don't try to fill it anywhere near full (less than half is ideal) and put it n its side so that it can at least expand up.

costco red king crab legs
oven-baked steak fries
raw veggies (red orange green)
crescent rolls
pb&j on white bread without crusts
i Fed a piece of crab to my child and still no interest for more - itll save me some money for now.
Tuesday is garbage so Monday night is best night to have crab supper. Usually Ill freeze the shells until garbage day but then it takes up space in the freezer.
oops its 3/4 full. Ill adjust its position although it might be too late. I guess Ill just look inside the freezer.

I hadn't heard of these potatoes so I googled. Are they noticeably different from other fingerlings? Where do you find them?

These are much smoother and creamier than any other fingerling potatoes I've ever had. We got them at the Weiser Family Farms stand at the Santa Monica Farmers Market.

Lead contamination for dinner?
The first I recall hearing of Metlox was of their plateware being recalled for extraordinarily high lead/heavy-metal levels. The last I heard of them is that they left a mess of lead and/or other heavy metal contamination before closing down. Maybe in between they learned a lesson as they seem to be still in demand in the aftermarkets.

The last recall was in 1971. I know that my dinnerware was produced well after that.
After Metlox shut down in 1989, a pit on the property where contaminants were dumped since the plant opened in 1927 had to be cleaned up.
ETA: The FDA does not recommend against using old pottery or ceramic ware unless it shows signs of deterioration, such as cracking or pitting of the glaze, which may allow lead to leach into food.
