Thank you. I really do have a lot of peace in my Grandma's kitchen. We shared our favorite happy place to the fullest!

I am now making stock with leftover turkey legs, wings, with onions, celery, carrots and rosemary n sage n old bays. Ami suggested I make it so we have more stock on hand

[Nadeest]

Sounds like a good plan, Corkey.

[ahk]

Soon I will be making turkey green chili enchiladas-- tis the season!!

[Bit]

LOL... I saw Corkey's post and realized all of a sudden I had forgotten to add water to my bone broth! Y'all should have seen me run. I was barely on time; still some water in the crockpot and nothing burned yet! Whew!

I added half a crockpot full of water (yes, I did put off straining out the bones until tonight, oopsie) and that broth is so strong that it took that much water to make it look like regular broth. BUT I am so sorry to say that evidently you can only add water so many times before the broth loses its mellowness and a lot of its flavor.... so I deboned my roasted chicken and sacrificed the skin and even the meat on the back to see if I can mellow this broth out again. I think I might put another onion in also, and maybe some garlic to improve the flavor.

Now I want chicken.

Just a quick post to say hello to all of you delicious people!

Crazy busy day today. Had an amazing meal at a friends house. It is so nice to be invited to dinner as it is, but then when the cook is really good at what they do..wow.

Have a great night, evening, afternoon, morning, depending on your time zone.

[Bit]

Well there you are, Sun! Missed you today.

[easygoingfemme]

For those of you making turkey stock. Put some turnips in there. Trust me.

And, if you have dogs, puree the leftover stock bones and let the dogs have at it. They should be soft after making the stock, but you'll still want a high power blender/processor.
So good for them...

I hope that it worked out and that you were able to salvage it. Please let us know, as I am extremely curious. Thanks

Helloooooooooooo Delicioustarians!!

How are you all doing today?

I am recovering from a long and exhausting day out in the hot sun. It was a great day but wow am I wiped out. Usually exhaustion accompanied by partial dehydration requires tropical fruit to revitalize me. I can just go and go and then need a half day to crash and burn.

So what are all you foodies up to? Is anyone on Yelp.com? Curious because it is a great site for reviewing restaurants and all things related to food. Lots of feedback from other consumers too. Its a great site for finding a unique restaurant, cafe, taco joint, dive, market. Check it out if you are not already familiar with it.

Hello everybody!

Hope everyone enjoyed a nice Thanksgiving. We had insane food thanks to our friends. Turkey breast, spiral ham, mash taters, corn, two kinds of gravy, homemade stuffing and cauliflower casserole with bacon in them, asian salad. sooo delicious.

tonight I believe I'll be having more of that cauliflower casserole and cooking up a ribeye steak for my dinner.

Hope ya'll enjoy a nice weekend!

Something new i brought to the table this year.

Dirty Rice!



Syr and the sister loved it.

This is a decent recipe for it. We substitute the turkey gizzards for the beef.

Either way its GOOD.

I'm sick of turkey.
So I decided to make an apple crisp.
Sun, what kind of tropical fruit?
Dee, do you have a recipe to the cauliflower casserole? anyone?

[Sun]

Yum this thread makes me hungry.

Thanks dee for the dirty rice recipe. Love it.

Ahk, I love Pineapple, Mango, bananas, guava..this is a rough time of year for getting good fruit, especially where I am. I also love melons. Watermelon is my favorite melon.

Here I am sweets! Off to do some weeding

Would rather be cooking... tonight we'll be having coriander pesto (well, you guys call it cilantro. Here we say coriander for the seeds as well as the fresh herb). Haven't had pasta in ages, really looking forward to it!

Hello sugar plum fairy,

Ooooh gardening! I love it even it if is weeding. Odd, perhaps but I love to connect with the earth. Today I learned how to trim a palm tree. Lucky to be alive really. Surely my ancestors did this and more with little difficulty, amazing what happens two generations removed from an island. Aye.

Anyway..Coriander pesto sounds good. I had such a big and rich meal yesterday for late lunch/early dinner that I am keeping it light tonight. Maybe tomorrow I will make pasta. Just really do not feel like cooking much at home anymore, once I got out of the swing of cooking for the family, that was it for me. Now it is survival cooking. So I love it when you all inspire me!

I did, Nadeest, I did! The chicken bone infusion with several small garlic cloves made all the difference. I used some of the broth this morning in rice with veggies, had to correct the seasonings but I would have had to anyhow because I like my rice highly seasoned. I can't do too much in the way of heat--just cannot take much chili powder--but I love the flavor one gets from lots of seasonings at once.

Today I threw an onion into the broth, and then tonight I threw in the bones/skin/gristle/etc from two more chickens. I anticipate a wonderful broth tomorrow because I'm stuffed full from dinner and the crockpot fragrance still has me drooling. And yes, I confess it, I deliberately bought two chickens this afternoon just so I would have enough bones for the broth! Not that I'm highly enamored of this process or anything but yanno, a girl has to have enough broth that she can pull some out and make soup! I've got carrots and celery and chicken that are all lonely for each other now.
