That's a brilliant idea.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I got the idea from one of my mom's friends. My mother frequently tells us money-saving things that this friend did in her twenties -- making broth like this, storing ketchup bottles upside down so that she'd get all the ketchup from the bottom -- and then reminding us that this friend is now a millionaire. (Frankly, I think that has much more to do with who she married than what scraps of food she saved, but homemade broth, even twice-frozen, tastes much better than store-bought, and it means I can control the taste and the salt.)

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Every now and then I do that -- but I need to label a container with something like broth fixings so I now what it is...

I wish I had enough Pyrex containers to indulge my plastic-paranoia, but those are way too expensive for the number of containers I use for broth. So I use the disposable ones for this.
(Also, considering some of the processed crap that I eat, I really can't be too concerned about a bit of chemical leaching from plastic containers. Once I stop eating some of that junk food, I'll feel a bit more justified in trying to avoid plastic.)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Oooookay, the rainy season's back. Just now. And then some. First rain of the year, and it's like suddenly the world is just made of water. Guess I might wait a little before heading in to work after all.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
my mom just started working with the author of Drug Crazy to help with a mini-documentary about the fight to open a medical marijuana dispensary in her retirement community.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I put my broth in ziplock baggies.
Last one I made was vegetable. Maybe from Cook's Illustrated. It had a million ingredients, some of which I'd never bought before, but it smelt better than any chicken broth I've ever made. After I took out the veggie remnants I pureed some of them and had them as soup, and it was delicious. The broth is pretty damned good too.

Leeks for one. I also suspect exotic-to-me tubers. But I don't get around when it comes to non-tropical veggies.

OK. 18 cups of broth now in the freezer, and another 5 or so in the fridge because I ran out of containers. I'll probably make some sort of soup for dinner tomorrow and use the fridge broth there.
