re: #62 klystron

I thought about doing stock from scratch today - I have the recipe from America’s Test Kitchen to try - but I’ve done major cooking already multiple times this week and I was tired. And grumpy. And it wasn’t going to make too much difference to him right now.

I want to do it for the future and freeze like that.

I prep the soup (chicken, seasonings, vegetables) the night before, then I go to work, Zedushka fills the pot, brings the water to a boil and skims, skims, skims the boiling scum that collects at the top.

Pro-tip: put the chicken pieces and the vegetables into cheesecloth bags, makes it much easier to strain the broth.

You can eat the chicken but for years my kids utterly refused to eat “used chicken” no matter how many different recipies I tried.
