Clear, rain or snow possible and another leftover turkey recipe

Good morning Augusta

This morning we have partly cloudy skies with a high near 40ºF. Winds will be from the WNW at 10 to 15 mph.

Tonight we’ll have clear to partly cloudy skies with lows around 26ºF. Winds will be light and variable.

The readings from my weather instruments in the North field are:

Humidity is 69%, the dew point is 22ºF, outside it’s -0.4ºC and 31.7ºF.

The wind direction is Southwest between 2.7 MPH and  4.0 MPH, generating a wind chill of 31.7ºF.

The Barometric pressure is 30.10 / HPA 1019.3 and falling with a weather graphic indicating rain.

The UV rating is 0.0 out of 16, Sunrise is at 6:51 a.m. Sunset is 4:02 P.M. Moon rise is at 5:41 a.m., Moon set is 3:59 p.m. and the moon phase is waning crescent.  

The RAW METAR reading from the airport in Augusta, Maine where the sun first touches the U.S.A. every morning is: METAR KAUG 281153Z AUTO 28007KT 10SM CLR M01/M06 A3004 RMK AO2 SLP177 70002 T10061056 10006 21006 53018

Visibility is 10.0 miles / 16.1 kilometers with clear skies this morning.  So far.

We received 0.04 inches of rain here over the past 24 hours.

Here is another set of recipes for leftover turkey.  The desserts aren’t turkey, but you need something to soften the blow of disguised turkey, right?

TURKEY BROCCOLI CASSEROLE (Hey, it gets rid of some more turkey, and dessert makes it worth it)

Serves 6 or 8

1 can cream of chicken soup

¾ cup nonfat milk

3 cups diced cooked turkey

1 (10 oz) box) frozen broccoli spears, thawed

1 (16 oz) box stuffing mix (prepared according to directions) OR use 8 to 10 cups of leftover dressing

Heat soup and milk, just enough to be able to mix well.  Pour into a greased 9” x 13” baking dish.  Layer turkey over the soup; layer the broccoli on top.  Top with stuffing or stuffing mix.  Bake covered at 350 degrees for 50 minutes.

 

And for dessert how about:

CINNAMON ROLL WHOOPIE PIES

Bake refrigerated cinnamon rolls (like Pillsbury) as directed on package (at 375F 10-12 min. or at 350F if using a dark baking sheet), placing each roll separately on a baking sheet (not close together as the can directs).

When cool, slice in half horizontally.

Fill with cinnamon cream cheese filling, or a cinnamon buttercream filling.

Drizzle with glaze from the can of dough.

And/Or:

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting

 

Ingredients

·         2 cups (4 sticks) butter, slightly softened

·         7 cups powdered sugar

·         1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened

·         1 teaspoon vanilla

·         2 teaspoons cinnamon

Mix all ingredients until smooth.  Fill cinnamon rolls (a mini scoop works well).  For one tube of rolls, I found that one quarter of the filling was enough.  Larger rolls might take more.
