Sometimes one has to get a little creative when cooking. I finished off my venison roast, but thought it would be a waste to throw away the leftover bones and meat that I couldn't pull off. So, I stuck the roast in a stock pot on the stove and boiled it until it fell apart. Aside from looking like some strange monster in the pot every time I took the lid off (see photo above), the venison stock that I made turned out very tasty. I strained out all the bone and cartilage bits with a metal strainer after it had cooled off a bit. I made a soup with half of the stock last night, tossing in some onion, garlic, carrots, rutabaga, potatoes, kale, and beans. The other half I froze for later use.
Aside from the usual every-other-day loaf of bread, the kitchen was surprisingly quiet over the weekend and beginning of the week. Leftovers have been the name of the game mostly, that and eggs scrambled with onion and swiss chard. I'll need to be making another trip up to West Wind this weekend to restock on flours and get some rolled oats. I've been craving an apple crisp, and with plenty of apples from the A2 farmers market I'm hoping to make some this weekend.
