I actually prefer the "miracle whip" type stuff (sorry, I can't help it) but hubby prefers honest to goodness mayonnaise.<br /><br />Good to know there is a difference when it comes to freezing though.

I think there's definitely something about the weather that makes us crave good, homemade soup!<br /><br />Jen - I'm hesitant to freeze the spinach dip 'cause I made it with a mayo and sour cream base. And I've always heard you can't freeze mayo. Or is that just an old wives' tale?<br /><br />Oh yeah, you eat like a bird, Little Lady. (And I don't mean "all day.") I can't imagine you EVER over-eating.<br /><br />Sue - Whoops, too late for a party. As of noon today I've managed to eat up darn near all the snackie leftovers. Hubby helped, too, of course.<br /><br />But I do wish you were my neighbor. I'd feed you leftovers any time!<br /><br />Susan - As usual, the grass is always greener. ;o) Oh, for a turkey sandwich!<br /><br />Couldn't you just throw out the roasting pan and buy a new one? Doncha just hate having to wash pans, pots, buckets, whatever that are bigger than your sink??Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-42003061255889732072010-11-29T10:10:12.551-06:002010-11-29T10:10:12.551-06:00I'm with Sue.

I managed to cart the turkey carcass home - with the promise of washing the roaster; an odious job, as it's three times as big as my kitchen sink. So there's turkey soup, turkey sandwiches, yada. But, smoked fish, pickled herring, and dill pickle roll-ups?

Sorry, cannot wrap my mind around that. The two of us can get two or three meals made with leftovers! And most of the time, they're darn good!<br /><br />APG - Yeah, rye bread can get like that. Rye flour has very little gluten and that's the stuff that makes a bread rise and get light. <br /><br />As far as the Heidleberg Rye bread recipe, your wish is my command, m'dear. I'll post it soon.

I love crackers and would eat them with all soups . . . if I had them in the house.<br /><br />The bread was made yesterday (Heidleberg Rye) and one loaf mysteriously was missing when Chicken Mama left the premises. ;o)<br /><br />Lori - Well, duh. This is what I love about blogging. The good ideas simply abound! Why the heck didn't I think of that for my over supply of crackers? I'll do it!<br /><br />Erin - Or roll fresh fish in the crumbs before frying. Mmmm, yum.<br /><br />Jane - I had to do a little whining on the blog post but we rarely waste any food around here either. Even if it goes to the poultry, I sure don't consider it wasted 'cause it comes back in the form of eggs or meat. Your idea for using the horseradish and garlic cheese in tortillas or burritos is brilliant! It would blend with all the other flavors and be super.<br /><br />I LOVE ALL YOU SMART WOMEN!!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-59885912243832437372010-11-28T14:41:30.706-06:002010-11-28T14:41:30.706-06:00I agree, there is no such thing as to much food le...I agree, there is no such thing as to much food left. I love to use everything and see it as a challenge. I had a recipe somewhere for twix cookies that call for crackers ground up as a base. And no veggie ever goes unused. The cheese, well I am sure that would melt in somewhere like burritos, if not now later, so freeze it. As for the rest, a little cocktail party with some friends or neighbors is always a fun time. Who doesn't like being invited over for free snacks and a sip or two of wine. What time can I be there?Jane @ Hard Work Homesteadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02905658082120445313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-35810980409087010522010-11-28T14:30:53.638-06:002010-11-28T14:30:53.638-06:00I admit I was thinking the same thing as DirtLover...I admit I was thinking the same thing as DirtLover...

Kept in the freezer, I would think it would last for awhile. Nice job on the soup. I LOVE it this time of year.
