Season generously with Mrs. Dash.
Stir and let simmer for about 20 to 30 minutes.
After the broth has cooked out the meat will be tender enough to shred when stirred.
Spread salsa on a tostada shell.
Add seasoned turkey.
Top with lettuce, tomatoes and cheese.
Enjoy!
After the dough has risen I divide it into two sections.
Each section is rolled flat;
Now I spread on melted butter (I used the homemade butter left over from Thanksgiving) and generously sprinkle with sugar, cinnamon, raisin and pecans;
And gently roll into a log.
My pizza cutter is used to cut the log into sections.
My recipe always makes enough to share with others.
Yummy, they are picture perfect.
We are going to have so many leftovers I wont need to cook for several days...
This is good; it gives me more play time in the sewing room.
I hope everyone enjoys their meal; I know we will.
Pat requested homemade butter to go with our meal; this butter is the best!
And the last of todays cooking was cornbread, for the dressing; deviled eggs; and pistachio pudding. 
We like our turkey to fall off the bones so I usually cover it well and cook it at 250 to 300 degrees for at least 6 hours; the longer you cook it the more tender the meat becomes. Sometimes I will cook it at 200 degrees over night.
As soon as the turkey is cool enough to handle I like to remove it from the bones; placing the broth from the pan to the side. Next I put the bones and skin in a large stock pot and cover with water and a little salt; this is boiled for at least an hour.
When the second broth is ready I combine it with the first and put it in the fridge so the fat will firm up making it easy to remove.
Now my turkey is ready for tomorrow and I have a lot of broth for gravy and future soup.
When the ham has cooled I cut it into slices and hunks;
Next the ham is put in a zip lock bag and stored in the fridge until Thanksgiving. Any ham that is leftover after our meal will be used for sandwiches over the next several days. When we are tired of ham sandwiches the last of the ham is packaged for the freezer to be used in future dishes such as scalloped potatoes; cubed and cooked with eggs for breakfast burritos...
The broth is placed in containers and set to the side;
And the bone and fat is put in a pot to be boiled for about an hour.
This second broth is added to the first and placed in the fridge so the fat will harden and can easily be skimmed.
The broth is now divided into 3 Ziploc bags, each consisting of approximately 8 cups.
My crock pot is a 5 1/2 quart size. One bag of broth is enough to make a full pot of beans; the beans are packed with flavor from the broth and go well with corn bread. The leftover beans are then packaged into 2-cup servings and placed in the freezer to be used for chili; chalupas; burritos or any recipe that calls for beans. 
Next we purchased a wonderful watermelon drink offered in the deli department...
But the highlight of our visit to the newly remodeled store was this pig!
I am very pleased with how it turned out.
In the past I usually added ruffles to the edge of my pillows but I really like how using piping worked.
The size is approximately 18 x 21.
Next time I may try using a soft coordinating fabric for the back; maybe chenille or minky.
I made the mistake of not covering everything while we were working on the closet and everything was, and still is, covered in dust.
I have had to wash all her clothes; today I should be able to wash the bedding since I can now reach it.
Organizing the new closet feels great! I love all the shelf space for all our games and puzzles.
I have big hopes that today her room will be back to normal.
Everything in Elizabeth's room is covered in fine dust so all her clothes have to be washed and all her puzzles and games will need to be dusted before being put in the new closet.
We are hoping to have everything completed by this evening so she can sleep in her room tonight.
It took just under 2-weeks to complete this project and it cost us just under $200!
The painting has begun; Elizabeth was able to help out.
Framing for the shelves is done.
Measuring, fitting, cutting and then more measuring has been done for the shelves.
And painting the shelves is still in progress.
Tomorrow we get to put in the floor before installing all the newly painted shelves!
I emptied out the old closet full of Elizabeth's clothes, toys and my extra sewing machines.
This closet is being taken apart so we can use the wood for shelves in the new closet.
I have been trying to stock my etsy store for Christmas.
My mom and sister are the ones who got me started in making doll clothes.
It has been a nice way to make a little extra spending money.
I had thought the next step was to add the shelves but I was wrong; it was time to do the tape and bed.
While in town I purchased some rose colored vinyl for the floor. This closet is really looking nice!
Insulation was added to the window; we will be covering this with sheet rock.
Today the sheet rock was added; the ceiling was done first.
And the walls have been started.
After tomorrow the sheet rock should be finished and we will be ready for shelves.
And removed.
Tomorrow the outlets will be added.
In the meantime, I worked some more on my fussy cut quilt and managed to get the top completed.
I hope to have it pinned by this evening so I can begin the machine quilting tomorrow.
And I removed the cabinet and sheet rock.
Next it was time to remove the studs that framed the shower.
It was very hard so Pat had to help with them.
Tomorrow we begin removing the floor of the shower which is cement.
We have not been able to use it for years.
My job was to remove all the tile in the shower.
And the sheet rock.
I took me three hours to bust it all out and haul the trash to the dumpster.
I do not like doing this type of work but it was pretty exciting; I have been waiting for years to begin fixing up our home. 
It seems someone hit their gas instead of the brakes; but this is not the first time it has happened. Several years ago someone else ran through Jo Ann's and landed on a pregnant woman; thankfully the pregnant woman and baby to be were unharmed.
We made the stop first thing today on our way into town.
I'm so proud of myself...
I only purchased a quarter of a yard of fabric today!
All I have left are small scraps.
So, tomorrow I must visit a fabric store; the one place I need to stay away from!
This evening has been spent working on my fussy cut quilt blocks.
They are coming together nicely.
I am now staying away from all fabric stores unless I need an item to compete a project I am currently working on.
It is going to feel good sewing tomorrow in such an empty space.
A tradition in our family is to let the kids eat "all they want" the day after Halloween and then the rest is put away to be enjoyed over the next few months. I usually slowly get rid of the extras by giving it away when the kids are not looking.
