Stewing around

I finally boiled all my bones to my liking. I have now strained the broth and put it in containers to freeze. My massive stew pot or stock pot is full of hot soapy water to cut all the fat from the sides. I have washed and put away the very large colander and the bowl I strained things into. I ended up with about three gallons of broth. I portioned it is some small portions and some large. I did all of this after going to church, then going to Aldi and bringing my goodies home and putting them away. I guess I was a bit busy. When the broth is cool enough I will put the containers away in the freezer, but not before I label every container.

You sure did a lot. My mom made strong beef broth when I was a baby and when it was cool have it to me to drink in my baby bottle, She said it put roses in my cheeks and I tell you when you look at this one photo of me fortified with beef broth I look like Queen Victoria upon her throne.

I know that they fed it a lot to invalids. A chubby baby was always considered to be healthy. She did well.

@GardenGerty Absolutely! The prices are going up now, better to buy food than to keep money in the bank.

You should have enough broth to last a long time.

Did you get to eat anything at all today? You would need energy doing all that Heather.
