The Soupening
Dec. 26th, 2009 02:19 pmThe 20-quart stockpot has been retrieved from its storage spot.
The onions, carrots, and celery have been chopped, along with a few passing mushrooms, parsnips, and leeks.
The bay and sage have been harvested, along with a little parsley, thyme, and lovage.
The carved-up remains of roasted turkeys have been retrieved from the depths of the freezer. (Okay, the Thanksgiving bird remains have been retrieved from the depths. The Christmas bird wasn't that deep.)
The kettle has been filled.
Boil, simmer, seethe, and bubble. The rendering of remnants into homemade turkey stock has begun in the dying days of 2009.
