Thanksgiving part 6 - giblets

Giblets. The word evokes pleasure to some - thinking of giblet gravy and hearth and home. The word brings about horror to others - sick, innards of a bird. I was rather firmly in the latter camp, but Elle and others persuaded me that perhaps they DID have a use. I took the innards and boiled them in water for about 15 hours (actually, more like 80 minutes) with some salt and peppercorns. I used the resulting stock in my Thanksgiving meal. Whatever happened to the giblets themselves? Why, Miss Daisy got a series of delicious additions to her Iams kibble over the weekend of course!
