I was feeling all virtuous when I got up at 830 this am,til I saw the kitchen clock- clocks went back this am. Oh well. Up and atem, started by skimming the chicken fat off the stock for Thai Chicken soup and Chicken Pot pie. With my new eating style- making a big pot of soup is a thing of the past- I'd get sick of it before it went off. So, when I found a nice plump chicken for a good price on Friday, I decided to split it between two chicken dishes.
Here is the Thai stock before fat is skimmed off- one of the good things about it being cold overnight, I just put the pots on the deck-bring them in the next am- extra fridge space.
This ties in nicely with today's Scavenger hunt post. Science experiment from the fridge. I usually have more to offer, as my sister will tell you. But today all I have is some fresh Coriander/Cilantro that is getting a bit faded at the edges- it's going into soup later today. Random thing and littlest sister watched as I skimmed the fat.
