Happy humpday, buddies! I've been lurking in the background the last couple of days. So tired from busy days at work...good days, but long and grueling.
Co-workers and clients keep dropping carby goodies at my station. I know it's the custom, but really! LOL So far, I've managed to give everything away without sampling, although the chocolate-covered strawberries did give me a moment's temptation.
The one exception was my Thai client. She gave me a big bottle of basil infused EVOO for my Christmas gift, and brought me a pint of homemade Tom Yum Goong for lunch. OMG, SO GOOD! Spicy, slightly sour, but rich and filled with shrimp and mushrooms. She also gave me a little bag of fresh kaffir lime leaves, so that I can make some Tom Yum for myself.
Re: the $17 chicken, I did joint it out, and froze all but one breast. I made soup from that, and it was pretty good. The carcass went in the crock pot with just water and salt, and cooked on low for almost 24 hours. at about 18 hours, I tilted the lid so it would reduce, and the whole house smelled wonderful. I have to say, it's the best tasting bone broth I've ever made!
The birds are really enjoying the feeder these days. Right now, my back deck is teeming with doves, a woodpecker, and several tiny wrens. I saw a new type of bird for the first time about a month ago, sparrow sized, but with a bright yellow belly that fades to olive green on the head and back. I was excited to find that it's a female Bachmann's Warbler, because they are suspected to be extinct! The last reported sighting, according to the identification page I use, was in Cuba in 1984. The other day, there were TWO of them! They seem to have taken up residence in the neighborhood, since I keep the feeder well stocked.
Enough rambling for today. Stay the course, my dear buddies, and enjoy the love of the season.
