Comment on Homemade Chicken Stock by Jen

I make my stock similar to yours, but I cook AT LEAST 12-24 hours and then drain out most of the stock and re-fill with fresh water and do it again. My first batch is usually a bit stronger then the 2nd but both have good flavor and are very useable in soups and stews, etc. I usually label the lids 1 or 2 and if making something particular I may be sure I use a stronger or weaker stock option
So all that to say….. you can use those bones again! And if you just boil them maybe 4-6 hours you can probably get 3-4 uses out of them greatly increasing your stock stores!

This looks so delish Susy, plus your secret ingredient may be how special it is that you shared a family tradition at your family table this year! I am kicking myself for not poking my head out my front door on Christmas Eve to see if I could get just a whiff of the spread you were cookin up! Intrigued by your roasted eggplant yumminess, with a name like that what’s not to love! Well my holiday culinary adventures involved an embarrassing amount of consumed cookies and my mom’s stollen! Also learned that while a blast to dabble I think I would be better at hitting up my speed dial for the Med cafe than creating my own chix schwarma!

Sorry your Christmas didn’t turn out the way you planned Susy. Sounds like you made the best of it, though! Christmas morning breakfast was always a big deal in my family growing up. Last year I wanted to start a new tradition for Ben & I and decided to try making chocolate filled croissants – homemade croissant dough and all! They ended up being crispy, flat somethings I gave up on them and this year was going to go with cinnamon rolls, but ran out of time to make them and ended up having leftover homemade apple butterbraid. It was good, even left over, and may become the new tradition.

I’m always amazed at how many ingredients Indian dishes include! This recipe sounds so good, I hope to make it sometime this Winter.

Looks yummy. We had some guest that don’t do pork and I don’t do turkey when I’m at church in the morning. So we went with apricot chicken, your wonderful herb potatoes (my go-to potato now), bread, and other fixings. I made a flourless chocolate cheescake torte for dessert. It was a yummy. Sorry your trip was cancelled.

We missed you but probably good to stat put. It’s not fun being sick and being away from home! We traveled so i didn’t really do any cooking other than making green beans almandine to take to my family’s on Christmas eve. It went with the ham;). But not just any ham-spiral sliced with a brown sugar glaze. Mmmmm
