Is that cranberry and raisin? That sounds delicious!
How do you make the dumplings? I love dumplings, but never make them.

When I make chicken and dumplings, I make them the southern way with my dough pressed with a pizza roller and cut. When I make dumpling soup, I like one big dumpling in the center of the bowl so I make the dough with bisquick, milk and I put the crasins in the dough...then I sppon the dough to float on top of the soup and let it steam in the pot for about ten of fifteen minutes after I am done making the soup...this makes a big fluffy dumpling that sits pretty in the center of the bowl.
The broth for the soup is my carcass (well not mine but the turkey's) and the drumsticks and wings along with about 5 to 8 chicken wings (they make it richer) about 8 cups of water several celery stalks including the tops 2 med onions parsely 3 cloves of garlic on that last half hour I put some sage leafs (too strong otherwise) salt and pepper
I strain this and take whatever meat is available then I chop 2 cups of mushrooms one crispy apple (arkansas black is what I am using today) 1 stalk of fresh celery incluiding the tops add that to the broth 1 cup madiera wine (reduced prior to adding)
let that cook for about 30 minutes
then make the dumplings (recipe is on the bisquick box) and add about 1/4 cup of craisins to the recipe. Float balls of the dumpling dough on the top of the soup COVERED for about 10 to 15 minutes

I miss my mom's dumplings. She also used Bisquik, and they came out wonderfully every time. Egads, bringing back feelings of missing her now.
I just never think to make the darn things when I'm actually cooking, so it's been years and years since I've had them. Maybe some day I'll remember to make dumplings, and not just think of them as I get ready for bed, or when I'm out in the city, or on an airplane or something.

6. My DAD was the dumpling king |

So it does the same for me. Anyway, to make them like this is easy...the recipe for dumplings for chicken and dumplings is a bit more involved...this was isn't too labor intense so give it a try.
BTW..I made you clam chowder about a week ago..it was great!

Glad you liked the chowder. I'm eating some right now, from another batch I made last week.
Soup is always so good after it's been in the fridge for a few days.
One Christmas, Mom and I decided to make the oyster stew the day before, so that it could sit in the fridge overnight. Yummy!!

With puff pastry. Inside, peas, carrots, celery, Yukon Gold potatoes and our leftover gravy. It was good. Now we are officially sick of turkey!

7. Back when we had turkey, |
|
My favorite part of turkey eating wasn't on Thanksgfiving, but the cold turkey sandwiches with lots of mayonnaisse that I'd get to eat for the next 3 or 4 days. I'd have maybe 4 or 5 a day. Wonderful!!

10. Used to be turkey pot pie... |

before my mom developed her severe allergy to turkey.
We're going to try stuffing a big ol' pork roast this Christmas. Tasty, but it just won't be the same...
