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

Sounds like a good plan, Corkey.

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

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. :blush:

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

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?

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!

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. :cheesy:
