Ida’s Notebook Ida Risser As we come to the end of 1984, we tend to look back and try to decide if it was a good year or a bad year.

Instead of using all the various leftovers for every dinner after the holiday; try using just one or two leftovers for a meal and include something “fresh”. It you’re going to serve the turkey again, have a vegetable or salad that you didn’t have on your holiday table. When recycling the sweet potatoes or squash, serve them with another meat, like ham or sausage. It’s amazing how much faster and less painfully leftovers go when you use this simple technique. If it’s turkey that’s leftover, remove the meat from the bones before freezing. Divide the'large slices from the small slices and freeze separately. As you pick the turkey bones, separate the pieces into amounts that you can use easily in one recipe and either freeze the packages immediately or turn the leftovers into some really special casseroles for the freezer.
