Night at the Improv

I'm getting more confident at cooking without a recipe. I used to stress, but it usually turns out good.

Last night and today I made turkey soup from the leftover bones of Christmas dinner. Ingredients: one picked-over turkey, with unknown quantities of celery, carrots, onions, frozen corn, bay leaves, peppercorns and a bunch of water. Boil it for 3-4 hours, whatever. When we run out of homemade rolls to use as dumplings I'll toss in some wide egg noodles.

I love this stuff ... when you find a bone you know it's the real thing. It makes the entire house smell like childhood.
