In Annandale, several years ago, by wife was talking to a lady and mentioned using a ham bone to make soup. The lady said, "I've never heard of that!" Elvera said, "Well, what do you do with the bone?" She said, "I just throw it out." Elvera said, "I've never heard of that!"

A lady spoke to our old folks group last week. She is an artist and does it with leaves. I can't imagine how she can pass through woods and find "a beautiful leaf". But she makes good art of it.

Broth mustn't be boiled at all, and the veggies simmered only for 30 minutes (45 tops) before you draw off the liquid (and toss the solids). Simmer with mushroom stems, tomato skins, meat scraps, peppercorns, and cloves, but save the thyme until the last minute. I wouldn't use potatoes unless I was making vichyssoise. Turkey broth isn't nearly as satisfactory as chicken broth, but it makes O.K. minestrone soup (with its involvng medley of chickpeas, red beans, pasta, celery, and tomatoes) and is a good substrate for hard hunks of parmesan, simmered until rubbery. Otherwise, the only way I like turkey broth is Mexicano, with limes. Simmer down, folks.

You have to give her an "A" for originality, though. I find Janet Haddad’s creations a little creepy. You have to give her an “A” for originality, though.

I also add celery, onions, carrots while I boil them. I discard these vegies, which are cut in big pieces. I either make it up, if we have a crowd or I freeze it in meal-size portions. I then have something to throw on quickly. I can add potatoes, celery and carrots etc. or rice or noodles. A little thyme is wonderful in there too. It is just too good to waste in my opinion, even if it isn't our most favorite thing to eat. I also use the bones to make broth. I also add celery, onions, carrots while I boil them.

I always boil down the carcass, throw in chopped onions, celery and carrots with noodles and serve it up. No one in my family ever really likes it, but I <i>try</i> every year.

No imagination here I guess.
