Baked this year's Christmas cake.

Worked the Open Day for as long as I could before the fever overcame the meds.

Got the turkey carcass into the crockpot around noon, with assorted veg and seasonings, and let it simmer. It smells like soup at the moment, but I shall give it another hour or so, before I strain it and get it into the fridge.

This is an accomplishment of note, only because the last time I did this, I told myself I wasn't going to do it again as it was annoying and took all day and 2 attempts - it did not fit into the crockpot properly so after hours of it not doing anything useful, I had to switch to a stovetop operation. And the resulting broth was...meh.

But! This time I cut up the carcass so that it squished down into a more compact bundle, and added some more seasonings - and I'm not going to try to freeze the broth for a future use - I'm going to make a turkey soup or stew tomorrow with it - or at least some of it :D

EDIT: and YES I am two weeks early for US Thanksgiving, LOL. But the turkey was on sale LAST weekend for 35 cents/lb and I did not have room in my freezer, so it sat in the fridge all week thawing, and I roasted it Thursday :D

Laundry commenced, after a dryer was replaced for having finally decided to spin its last.
