That saying always makes me laugh. Mondays aren't so bad, it's just means we're one day closer to another weekend! My knee is feeling much better and I was able to push myself quite hard at the gym this morning, I feel like I can start making some headway in that department again.
I'm happy to report that the turkey stock was a success. It came out rich and flavorful. It's tucked away in containers in the freezer for holiday cooking. Making stock really is easy. I did nothing more than put frozen turkey bones and frozen vegetable refuse like peels and cuttings (onions, carrots, celery, leeks, mushrooms, squash) in a pan, fill the pot with filtered water and set it to boil. I added some salt, ground pepper and peppercorns along with a couple of dashes of Worcestershire sauce and let it simmer for about 5 hours. I strained it and put the pan in the fridge overnight so I could skim off the fat layer. Time consuming, yes, but difficult, no!
When I have a bit more time I'm going to do a recipe index for 2008 and for 2009 and link to them on the side bar. I hope that makes it easier to find a recipe you might like to try. It's time for juice now and then to work. I hope you all had a splendid weekend and that your case of the Mondays is short lived.
