I have lately ventured into making my own chicken broth. Who knew it was so easy?! I dump some leg quarters in the crock-pot, cover them with water, add salt & pepper, crush some garlic in and get on with my life. Come back later; debone the chicken & drop the bones back in the crock-pot. Get on with living for another 4-6 hours. Drain it and you've got some really delicious broth!So, the other day I deboned my chicken and dropped the bones back in (and by "I" I mean Maya). Then, as my recipe suggests, I got on with life (and by that I mean "take a nap"). When I woke up, I remembered the broth and went to check on it. Something didn't look right. Too thin and watery. I stirred it around and only found 2 bones in it. What in the world?!
Maaaaaayyyyyyyaaaaaaa, where are the rest of the chicken bones?
{guilty look from her and from Isaac who happened to be nearby}
{confused look from Mama} Where are the other bones?
"We ate them."
No way! They did not eat them! What did you tell them? And why can I not stop laughing?
ReplyDeleteWhat did I tell them? What did I tell them??
ReplyDeleteI told them that next time around they better not eat the bones until I've made the broth!!!
Carnivores all the way!!! Have they been hanging around my Lambies? ;)
ReplyDeleteMy children eat the bones too.. It shocked me when I first saw.. they learned it from our friends in NC. They all will get to bickering if they don't get their share after stock making! My husband and I get a kick out of it.. And we don't eat them ;)
