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, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
And I thought I was being all home-cook-ery by crockpotting some chicken breasts I found on sale for 88 cents a pound. Figure I'll dice 'em up and feed 'em to the cats to supplement their canned food.

Thrive to spite them
All this talk of cooking!
Mom and I are having a cooking day tomorrow. We've talked about this forever, taking turns (starting with her house) and cooking different things for the week and splitting and freezing (possibly) some things.
So we're making a pasta dish, she's trying to recreate a dish from a restaurant we like. And then I'm going to make this roast pork shoulder and spanish rice I saw on foodtv.

My cooking spurt was last week but I have some steaks I could defrost and I could make horseradish sour cream.

I am going to try to do a turkey leg braise in the slow cooker and also make turkey meatballs for pasta during the week. We'll see how things go tomorrow...

I put four eggs in a pan of water and one of them floated so I threw it out. I hardboiled them and now another one is floating. Should I toss it too?
