Remove the meat from the carcass, separating the white from the dark meat. Pick the carcass clean and then break the bones and place in a soup kettle and cover with cold water and add
One-half cup of chopped onions,

One and one-half cups of turkey meat,
Three tablespoons of finely minced parsley,
Two tablespoons of grated onions,

One and one-half cups of turkey meat,
One tablespoon of grated onion,
Three tablespoons of finely minced parsley,
Two hard-boiled eggs, chopped fine,
One and one-half teaspoons of salt,
One-half teaspoon of pepper.
Mix and then pour in a baking dish. Cover the top with fine bread crumbs and two tablespoonfuls of grated cheese and bake for thirty-five minutes in a moderate oven.

One and one-half cups of prepared turkey meat,
Two hard-boiled eggs, cut in eighths,

One teaspoon of salt,
One-half teaspoon of white pepper,

One green or red pepper, minced fine,
One teaspoon of salt,
One-half teaspoon of paprika.
Roll for jelly-roll and pinch the edges together well. Place in well-greased baking pan and bake for forty-five minutes in a hot oven. Start basting with one cupful of turkey stock after the roll has been in the oven for ten minutes. Serve by cutting in slices and then cover with cream sauce.
Place in a baking dish a layer of parboiled and diced potatoes. Season with finely minced onion and parsley and green or red pepper, chopped fine. Now add a layer of turkey meat. Repeat this until the dish is full and then add a sauce made from
One cup of milk,
One cup of turkey stock,
Five tablespoons of flour.
Stir until flour is dissolved in the milk and stock and bring to a boil. Season and then pour over the turkey in the baking dish. Cover the top of the dish with lattice strips of pastry. Brush with milk or water and bake forty-five minutes in a hot oven.

It’s Fall – the weather is getting colder, it’s getting dark outside earlier and earlier – this is a good time of year to pull out the family’s favorite board games or…
why not try making some new games of your own?
(These instructions are from a book Grandmother Wren had as a child – some of the materials will have to be adapted to those more readily available now – some forty years later!)
Four Good Toss Games To Make
Number Ring
This game can easily be made on a cardboard box top about 12 inches square. Cut 10 holes about 1/2 inch in width through box top at places shown in drawing. Write the numbers 1 through 10 in the places shown. Insert a wooden clothespin into each hole. Now get a few rubber jar rings, and you’re ready to play the game.
You should kneel about 5 feet from the game and try to toss a ring over the clothespin with the highest number. Play with several friends and keep score, seeing who gets the highest total after 10 throws each.
Baseball Button
You can use a box top for this game, too. It should be about 10 x 14 inches. Mark out your baseball diamond in pencil on box top, following the one in the drawing. Each base should be about 2 inches in diameter. Cut out holes for bases with a knife or scissors. Cut base lines from colored paper and paste in place, as shown. Label each base as in the picture; also label the left, center, and right fields.
To play the game, use large buttons and toss them from a distance of 5 or 6 feet into the various holes. Play with several friends and take turns being “up at bat.” When your button lands in the hole marked “out” three times in one inning, it’s time for your friend to be “up.” Keep score exactly as you would in real baseball. If you have a man on first or second base, try to score by getting more men on base or a home run.
Egg Box Marble
Using an ordinary egg box (holding a dozen eggs), carefully open the cover so that it forms a gentle slope from table top to inside of box, as shown. Hold cover in place by attaching it to table with a piece of cellophane tape or masking tape. Mark each square of box with a different number. Play with several friends, taking turns rolling marbles up the sloping cover into box. You should roll from a distance of about 5 feet.
Another way to play would be to cut out pictures of wild animals and paste them in the spaces instead of numbers. As you play, see who can bag the most animals. Let the elephant and lion count highest and the smaller animals be worth fewer points.
Spelling
This is played on a piece of plywood or very heavy cardboard about 18 x 24 inches. With a ruler, mark off a 1-inch margin all around the board. Then divide the board into
three equal sections across and six equal sections up and down within the margin. Draw lines where you have made the marks. Where each line crosses another, screw in a cup
hook.
Paint a letter of the alphabet underneath each hook. Since there are 28 hooks, there will be no letters for two of them. Leave these blank, and they can be penalty hooks that everyone should avoid.
Make the rings out of sections of clothesline about 8 inches long. Form a ring and
fasten ends together with twisted wire or masking tape.
The object of the game is to see who is the first one to spell out all the letters of a
short word which you have chosen ahead of time.

Instead of the Daybook entry that usually takes this spot on Mondays – I spent the better part of the day putting together an album of photos from yesterday’s Halloween Party. There are too many of them to post on the blog – you’ll find them in Grandmother Wren’s Halloween Pages.
A trip to the pet expo yesterday – still doing breed research – carefully, thoughtfully working toward picking the perfect dog for us. ( Really? I doubt I’d be nearly this careful, slow and thorough in my research and selection if I didn’t have to wait until we move to our new home to get my pup! 
)
We’re limited to choosing from toy breeds by the pet policy in our new building – 20lbs or less. I don’t want to be the new tenant called to the office, forced into a Monty Python dialogue with management -
” Ma’am, that dog looks larger than 20 lbs.”
“No he doesn’t.”
“Yes he does, look at him”
“No he doesn’t.”
(That parrot is dead…. 
)
We saw a comically concerned pug
a perky shitzu
dainty little papillions
and this super guy with the dreds. (the dreds alone probably go more than 20lbs….)
I went to the expo already pretty set on the idea that I want a Yorkie.
Russ helps this decision along by announcing that he “Will Not live with a chihuahua.”
There are other apartments available in the same building.
We could be neighbors.
But I love Grampy with all my heart. We both like Yorkies. Also a better breed choice for Maya – a little sturdier, a little less snappy.
The decision is made. Yorkie it is!
