If you use a bit too much it will be a cassarole!colowyo0809 said:would it work if I'm using the chicken broth which contains alot of chicken fat?and if I'm doing stew don't I need a thickner agent? I really appreciate it, I've never actually made stew before, and I haven't looked up any recipes yet
and 'Zilla ?
If you use pasta, then use cornstarch or rice flour to thicken.
And yes, your broth should be fatty enough.thank you! I think I'm going to fish the bones out of one of the crocks and try this tonight! I don't have carrot or rutabaga but I do have turnip, so I could dice one of those and toss it in, along with a leek, and part of a frozen bag of mixed veggies and let that sit overnight?! then SO can take it to work for lunch tomorrow!
lol, not sure if that was for the jam or the stew but either way i'll take it as encouragementBubblingbrooks said:colowyo0809 said:oh, awesome! I totally missed the rice, especially if you put it in dry!Bubblingbrooks said:
Even better, I can also freeze this! I think I'm going to do one that is just the broth and whatever is in there plus the turnip. A kind of root soup, just add potatoes and carrots when you thaw and cook nom nom nom the possibilities!! Oh I'm gonna love my freezer! But we are going to need a second cooler!! crud

Oh, I know we are going to need a second one, but that wasn't what I was referring toBubblingbrooks said:All real foodies have to have 2 fridgescolowyo0809 said:lol, not sure if that was for the jam or the stew but either way i'll take it as encouragementBubblingbrooks said:
I still have only one, but with the root cellar should do fine it now.
But we have one upright freezer and two large chest freezers.
I'm going to need a second cooler/chest for the move we only have the one cooler and I'm going to have too much frozen to go in it. I'll just have to hope the stuff stays cold enough for the trip 
We spent a bit extra and bought a Coleman Xtreme ice chest that was rated for 5 days the last time we bought a cooler. I didn't get one quite as big as the link, but I love mine. It REALLY keeps things cold.colowyo0809 said:I'm going to need a second cooler/chest for the move
Nice! I remember the last time I moved in October, I swore I wouldn't do that again! Of course, the last time was when I was in middle school, and living in eastern montana, and it was halloween weekend, so it was really cold and snowingabifae said:

I clicked on that link and it took me there, and then said that it was in stock at my local Minot store. I was confused, as I don't live in North Dakota, and then realized the last person to look at anything walmart on my laptop was my friend S several weeks ago, and she had left herself logged in
