5. Turkey bones boiling for soup tonight
6. Buttermilk biscuits to go with the soup, 4 going in the oven the other 8 into the freezer

More to come, it's only 1pm


7. Set up 3 more avocado pits suspended in water, attempting to grow a tree, the last few didn't sprout so I tossed them today

8. Started another bunch of green onions in the windowsill as well as trimmed off the last bunch and put them in my freezer

You just cut off the white parts with the roots and put them in a glass of water and they start to grow. You rinse the roots and change the water every so often. I forgot to do it for a while and mine all went brown. :roll:
