Jill, the chicken is to DIE for though. Oh my GOD! TFM knows how to smoke
meat very well. But yeah, what do we do with the leftovers? I'm going to
try to make ham and chicken crepes with a whiskey bernaise sauce tomorrow
and see how that works with smoked meats. It will either be really good or
really awful. The soup is on now and smells AMAZING. But smoked chicken
soup is easy. After choppping up two chicken carcasses, we still have 4
smoked leg quarters left. I don't know how well it will freeze. :~(

Any and all ideas are welcome!
