Evera also brought some mushrooms for gravy, so I turned them, the chicken juice from the crock, a little flour, and a dash of sherry into gravy that quite impressed me. I'll have to remember mushrooms in the future.
The house still smells good because I just put away the stock that I made from the chicken bones and such; it's been simmering since dinnertime. I'd already turned all of the stock from last month's chicken into fun things like chicken soup and spinach risotto.
Even though I didn't eat a huge amount tonight, I got full fast. I think my appetite hasn't quite caught up from the weekend. It better finish recovering, as I have two more big dinner nights coming up!
Before I went upstairs a little while ago, the TiVo switched back to Live TV, as it always does a while after you finish whatever you were last watching. I never watch "Jimmy Kimmel Live," but I'm glad I caught this Halloween clip. (Jimmy tests new Halloween candy on unsuspecting kids.) I'm still never going to watch the show, but I can appreciate the occasional gem.
Meantime, I'm off to sleep, but I'll be thinking about all my friends who are Veterans, my friends who are active service members, and all those who never came home. Thank you all.
