Good morning, REOvil! Restless night between dreaming of woodies and physical torture. Hope everyone has a happy Friday!


I'm running out the door, but yes, yes, and yes, Laurin.

Good Morning REOville!!!

We got 3 more inches of the white stuff last night, just enough to be a PITA!! Trying to decide if I want to go out and clean the driveway, or let mother nature take care of it tomorrow and Sunday (supposed to get up into the 50's here)?

How's it going Reoville? Just checking in to say HI!

Looks like everyone is hyped about the woodies coming out. I'll be out this time around. (I think) but, I'm eagerly awaiting the upgrade kits. I may need to buy stock in Mothers Mag polish. Man those pic in the other thread are awesome.

Well back to lurking.

Have a great weekend!

Good morning everyone!

Thought for the day:

If you dream of something worth doing and then simply go to work on it and don’t think anything of personalities, or emotional conflicts, or of money, or of family distractions; it is amazing how quickly you get through those 5,000 steps.

Good morning Reoville. Hope you all have a great day. My daughter and her babies are heading back home today. Their time here went too fast. My new crock pot will put a low boil on high. I do as Darrel does and put it on high for the first couple of hours then turn to low. Mine has the rubber seal around the rim of the pot.

I have a question that I'm sure someone here can answer. I cover a chicken with water in the pot and add some goodies. I put in an onion with the skin and everything just quartered, a couple of carrots and celery sticks (no need to remove the leaves) just broken by hand, thyme and peppercorns. You can add a tablespoon or two of cider vinegar as the acid helps the bones give up the goods.

After I remove the chicken, the remaining water is stock? Do I strain it? I put one of those vegetable steamers into the bottom of the pot and put the goodies on top of that, then water to cover the stuff. I get it to a boil, then turn it down and simmer for a few hours, sometimes even hours and hours if I am home and can watch the water level. After the first 1/2 hour of cooking, skim off any scum in the pot. After it cools a bit, I lift the strainer and toss everything, it has given up whatever flavoring it had. Then I strain it through a finer sieve into a bowl in the sink. If you want it really clear, you can put cheesecloth in the strainer, but I am not all that concerned since I am just cooking for home and peeps who eat mine aren't going to care if it is perfectly clear.

How do I remove the fat in it? Cool it down in frig then skim off the fat? Yep. When it cools the fat will be on top but don't remove the jello like stuff (collagen) which is the good stuff, not fat.

Just add some veggies and noodles and chicken and I have soup? Yep. I don't add back the meat, I add meat I had reserved just for that. If making chicken I usually don't use a whole chicken but the bones and any clinging meat. When I spatchcock the chickens, I save the necks and bones and stuff in the freezer for stock so I have a supply ready when needed.

I hope that helps...

GOOD MORNING REOvillians!


ETA: Note that I do NOT add salt when making stock. This is my personal preference. When you reduce by simmering, it is easy to concentrate that salt and if I wait until I use it I can add salt to taste for whatever I am making. That and DH is on BP meds so he doesn't need a lot of salt in his diet bless his heart (pun intended).

Good morning.

Hope everyone has a productive or lazy day. Sometimes what you do isn't up to you.

There's more LP grands up on the site if anyone else wanted one.

Afternoon Reo-fam. Feeling a bit better today I think. Thank you Kay! I'm good though and I hate doctors.

Matt, that little girl is too cute for words...

Glad to hear that Ed! I hate dr.s, too,,, but when you described your symtoms it sorta freaked me out. I didn't mean to sound like an old grumpy mama bear
( if it'd been one of my grandkids I'd have hauled them off to the Dr.)

My baby boy is coughing and I'm at that panicked "do I go to the vet or am I crazy" stage.

Thank you. That was very helpful. I will not be a soup nazi. "No soup for you!"

I don't often check this thread and haven't for a while. Has anyone heard from Feisty Alice? and is she doing better. I hope so.

We emailed back and forth a few times right before Christmas, and she was doing okay. Busy moving and worried about her furbabies. I sent her a message yesterday but no response so far.
