Feb. 9th, 2011 05:11 pmI am right now bailing on having dinner and seeing Rags with my parents. When we made the plans last week, I expected my stupid debilitating cramps to be over by now, but no, I can't count on having a regular cycle anymore and it shifts in the most inconvenient way possible. Intelligent Design my ass.
Instead, making a vat of stock, because I can do that on painkillers as long as I remember to turn the burner off before actually going to sleep. 5 # of chicken feet, 2 # of heads, a 3 # stewing chicken, all the frozen vegetables lurking in the freezer (which, sadly, only amounted to some aged asparagus) and the tops of the green onions, whole black peppercorns and some ground celery seed and not quite a gallon of water. It's been heating up for 45 minutes and hasn't come to a boil yet. I may mix it with the veggie stock I made a while back, since it's so light on aromatics.
Oh, also threw in an old apple that was lyng around to make up for the lack of carrots.
