I generally need to make it again within a couple months. I buy
chicken with bones in and butcher out what I need. I save and freeze
the bones and odd parts I don't use. I also freeze carrot, celery,
onion, bell pepper, mushrooms that are currently beyond my immediate
needs. I store the chicken in zip bags and the veggies in another zip
bag. When I have a lot I put in a pot and make stock. I have never
bought (I don't think) chicken to make stock.
At one time in first years of marriage, I tossed unneeded chicken
stuff (gizzard, neck, wings) in a pot with some water and cooked it up
and gave the broth to the dog. I finally tasted some after I noticed
that the dog went wild for it. That was the beginning of my stock
making and a loss for the dog :-(
I just don't understand allowing veggies to get sad in the fridge and
throwing them away. Or throwing away chicken trimmings. I picked out
good stuff at the store and paid good money for it. Use it.

And I have done the long, long, low and slow forever and ever and it
was fine. One day I was in a hurry and used the pressure cooker.
There was a massive improvement in taste. Real chicken taste from
the pressure cooker. I've never done low and slow again.

No need to lift the full pot... use a ladle... that one quart sauce
pot that comes with a set makes a good ladle, has no other use.

After removing the solids and reducing some my 18 quart pot yields
less than 12 quarts... I don't know about you but I don't fill pots to
the tippy top... a good reason to use over sized pots, can save a
mess.
My 18 qt Piazza is what I use for corned beef and cabbage:

Mung beans are notoriously difficult. Most home sprouters
start with alfalfa or radish.

I first tried more than 40 years ago, and mung beans were pretty much
the only sprout being eaten back then. I gave up after three tries. If
I want fresh sprouts I want them that day. I don't plan my cooking a few
days in advance. Anything stuck into a dark cupboard got forgotten.
Sprouting and I are not compatible.

Here in Hippie Central, we were eating all kinds of sprouts 40-odd years ago.
 
I'm still quite fond of radish sprouts on an egg salad sandwich, but I
usually make do with finely minced radishes.

Salt from ancient sea beds is just as filthy-looking as
modern sea salt, until the manufacturer processes it.

Not sermonizing to you Gary.
 
this is such a stupid argument. The OP (way back up thread) obviously
penny pinched against Kosher salt. The fact is that salt isn't the
only place we have choice and accept it and the prices that go with
it.
We just talked about different kinds of Bok Choy. And different
Worstershire. We've discussed different butter. Lamb from Australia
vs.. U.S. And on and on. If I want to use Himalayan salt, Kosher
salt or ordinary table salt, I know it is salt but slightly different
We make choices.
So some Wackadoodle uses 'Kosher salt is just salt' to muscle his way
into this group to spread his personal rage against Christians and
abuse others who disagree with him. We don't have to support him by
responding to him.

I am so allergic to tree nuts, a whole filbert would kill me. Those Nutella commercials make
me shudder. Filberts are the worst for me.

We should stop taking salt from the sea. Just think, we've been "saving
the whales" for years but yet we destroy their habitat by removing the
salt.
The canned tuna industry will collapse putting people out of work. It
will be a severe economic impact and will change the Friday menu for
school lunches.
 
Leave the salt in the sea. Only use salt recovered from winter road
treatment. Its for the children!

Think of it as recycling. In this part of the world the biggest part of
the per capital consumption is road salt to make our roads and sidewalks
passable. The rest is used for cooking or seasoning. One way or another
is ends up in the sewers, in out streams and rivers and eventually back
to the ocean.

And speaking of all caps, the USPO standardizes addresses in all caps with no punctuation.
I, for one, am still pleased to get snail mail from friends with the address in cursive with
punctuation where it usually appears. The friends who write to me pretty much learned
to write cursive with the same method, and our handwriting is very readable. I hear
cursive is being taught again in the schools, so hooray for that.

It's true! My daughter is 10 and learned cursive in school last year.

Shrimp. Because they're half the price of sea scallops and help
fill me up. Along with a rice pilaf or butter-garlic-parsley egg
noodles.

I have certainly benefitted from my dental plan, but I had that through
my work and it is a retirement benefit. However, I have heard that it is
not a very good idea for individuals to get it. The premiums are steep.
There is a yearly deductible, there are procedures not covered and there
are annual limits. It is one form of insurance and many experts say is
simply not worth the cost.

For most people, probably not. There's no deductible on
my dental insurance, and most years I hit the maximum
annual benefit.

Very shortly I'll turn 75 but I am still working occasionally if the
project interests me. I have been turning some work away, however.
