Nef
And Good Evening, everyone.
8:11 pm
Nef
How are you? I've pecked away at thisgrid off & on this afternoon & evening; I'm making soups & broths from my turkey leftovers; & I seem to be here when no one else is today.
8:14 pm
wht
I just finished up. I will probably be making the turkey broth on Monday.
8:14 pm
wht
There must be something big going on tonight because it is pretty quiet in here.
8:17 pm
Nef
it says that there are 87 people here; but I guess it's just the quiet ones, huh?
8:20 pm
Nef
As far as the turkey broth; my son did 2 13lb. turkeys; 1 with a dry brine rub & one with a wet brine rub. He forget to rinse off the salt before cooking. I've been trying to dilute it down enough to get some of the salt out; he just got some potatoes; so that will help. The broth has amazing flavor (other than the saltiness); so I don't want to toss it out.
8:23 pm
wht
If I were a chef, I would probably have some ideas on how to overcome the salt. Alas, I am not.
8:25 pm
wht
I just break up the carcass, fill the pot with water, and simmer it for 4 to 6 hours with onions, carrots and celery.
8:26 pm
Nef
Adding raw potatoes to a soup or broth will absorb salt. We ran out of potatoes, & my son said he'd pick them up; but I didn't know he was driving about 50-60 mkiles to a friends house before he brough the potatoes back! So this should help a lot.
8:27 pm
Nef
Same here, wht. Only I also threw in garlic & ended up doubling the water (due to the salt content)
8:33 pm
wht
Do you need any clues before I go?
8:34 pm
Nef
I'm doing okay, wht. I have 49 left to find
Have a good night!
8:34 pm
wht
You too. Good luck with your soup.
8:35 pm
Nef
Thanks. You too!
8:55 pm
rururocks
You did all the right things nef
9:09 pm
Nef
Thanks, ruru. I should have enough turkey broth & soup to last til spring for our 3 households too. :-)
9:12 pm
Nef
I'm not really that much of a cook; but I do make good soups & broths (if I have to say so myself).
9:45 pm
rururocks
I freeze my stocks. Way better than store bought
10:09 pm
Nef
Yes, that's what I do too. And the potatoes have definitely taken care of the salt problem.
Hubby *loves* kitchen gadgets, but the one we've used the most is the seal-a-meal; & I now have about 8 1 lb. pkgs of turkey pieces, & 4 12 oz. pkgs & 4 8 oz. pkgs of turkey pieces already frozen; & now I'm working on the turkey broth (I'll probably make up about 10 pints of that) then a couple pf pints of ready made soup.
Then, on busy nights, pop the pint bags in a pot of boiling water & a lovely hot soup in minutes! :-)
10:13 pm

10:22 pm
hurshy
i just don't seem to be able to do as much as other people
10:24 pm
Nef
hurshy, we all have the same amount of time; you p[robably work circles around a lot of us. And I really only am good at making certain foods; don't ever ask me to bake something!
10:24 pm
hurshy
time, yes. energy, no.
10:25 pm

I hear you there!
10:26 pm
rururocks

10:27 pm
Nef
I have a friend who works circles around me all the time. She had raked her yard (which is 3 times the size of ours!) & then came over here & raked ours & took all the leaves to the compost site before I knew she was here!
10:28 pm
rururocks
did you tell her to leaf well enough alone ?
10:31 pm
Nef
No, ru! She's my best friend since we were 13; she's also a head taller than me & when we walk together I have to kind of trot along to keep up; but I'd been begging & pleading with my son to do our lawn & he never got to itbefore she did. (She didn't know that it was supposed to be done by our son
10:41 pm
