I will be having a lot of grated carrot salads in the next couple weeks. Also gonna prep a lot for the freezer, and use at least 1lb in stockmaking.
Onions, I’ll put some in the lobby $5.99 for 10lbs = less than 3 pounds loose! So, I can be generous & I still come out ahead. Some for freezer too.

Don't even talk to me while I'm simmering my hotdog stock. It'll make a fine sipping broth.

I'm in the same boat! For reasons of thrift and flavor, I keep all the schmaltz and tallow from stockmaking or roasting or whatever in little jars in the fridge.
But I've been reaaaal quiet about it these last few years, because I don't want to be seen as a maha fellow-traveler!

The chicken is the half of a Costco chicken I didn’t get around to eating, so there is a goodly amount of meat left.
The plan is reserve the meat after stockmaking, then make soup using my first kale harvest, lentils, chicken, maybe sherry, herbs. I dunno.
I’ll riff with it, see where I go.

Farm-to-plate foodies — can I cook the garlic greens off these red Russian hardnecks I scored?
If so, how so?
Definitely gonna try roasting some for stockmaking.
Thanks! 🍜🌱🍽️
(In the background is a jar I am using the last of the mayo with some buttermilk for a herby peppercorn ranch dressing.

A good stock takes hours precisely because good things generally do. Rushing it just costs you the depth.

Stockmaking day! Stockmaking day for autumn soups!
Fill large pot with water (leaving room to boil), add a leftover carcass from a rotisserie chicken, the outside parts of an onion, the trimmings from a bunch of celery, a quarter bag of baby carrots, and the scarborough fair seasonings plus garlic
