Little time for blogging lately. I made chicken stock in the last couple days. It’s fantastic. I love saving all the castoff parts and having something delicious and very useful at the end. If you have even a little bit of freezer space, I don’t think any other culinary practice is so useful for so many things. I’ve also got nearly enough of the inside parts to make dirty rice, too, so that should be delightful.
I still don’t have my bike back, but it should be today or tomorrow. I’m looking forward to it.
And I’m supposed to be getting beets today. As a kid, I was never fond of boiled beets, but I’ll be looking for recipe ideas to see what else is out there. If nothing else, I love the greens.
The NY Times had something recently that suggested grating raw beets for a salad, like you might carrots.
That's one I've heard, too. I'll have to check on amounts, but I suspect I can dispose of a lot of beets that way--we get an obscene amount of lettuce every week, and I still have some growing in my own garden!
