[Feast prep] A girl and her stock pot
Feb. 25th, 2011 10:51 pmI am the proud owner of a new 24 qt stock pot and 40lbs of bone in chicken leg quarters. Which has been reduced to 20 lbs of raw chicken, 2 gallons of cooked chicken and 2 gallons of tasty, tasty chicken stock. I have a sourdough starter, started.
Tomorrow I am having a bunch of people over for a medieval cooking/feast class where we will be turning the rest of the raw chicken into tasty goodness. 12 heads of cauliflower will be turned into roasted soup. We will be testing out the new pie maker machine by making Daroyles (strawberry custard pies with port sauce). There will be savory toasted cheese crack and we will be turning starter into bread.
A bunch of stuff for Mudthaw will be headed to the freezer. The house smells delightful.
Edit: And triple squee, my fluid flex liquid shortening (commercial cake ingredient, which I have been looking for, for almost 8 years) and gum tragacanth have been delivered.
