So glad for the good news, Cass.

Cass, I'm so relieved for the better-than-expected news!
Karl, my heart goes out to you. I am glad you were able to lean on us and get through the day.
Kisses to you both.

Cass, I know that any good news right now feels like it has to be taken with a spoonful of salt
This is a good description of what it feels like.
But what I really need to do is focus on the good news. His tumors did respond to radiation and he didn't have have any really awful side effects. I need to be (and have been) given hope from that.
I had some cooked meat go bad in my fridge. Wow, that was disgusting. And I really need to go grocery shopping soon. What is making is lag is that I have one full shelf in my pantry and I feel like I should use some of that first. Problem is that there are three quart containers of vegetable broth. What does one do with a quart at a time of veggie broth? I have this drive to use things but what?

Cook rice or pilaf or couscous in it, then add protein and veggiens? Make a lot of this casserole, eat some of it and freeze the rest for later. (Or eat off it for several days if you don't mind eating the same thing a bunch of days in a row,) If you have or are expecting hot weather make a casserole that is good cold.

I usually use it over several days. Instead of water to cook rice or quinoa like TB said, unless I am making a pot of soup. Or you can use some of it and freeze in one use portions. I recently saw 4 packs of 1 cup containers that seemed like a good idea.

Hmm, I will try the using it to boil things. That just seems slightly wasteful when I am fine using water. Possibly two of the three will just need to find a new home. Plenty of people must *want* to use veggie broth. Or I am underestimating the deliciousness it will bring.

I feel it adds a lot of flavor, but that may just be me. We also tend to add cumin or other spices to the broth before adding the grains. I'm sure a homeless shelter or a some other charity would be happy to take them if you really don't want them.
I am over stuffed for the second day in a row. Mom made lobsters tonight.

I will absolutely donate them if the grains thing doesn't work out for me. And I can freeze smaller amounts.
I really love lobster.

I love rice made in chicken broth.
