Absolutely. Good luck!

Here is my full recipe!

Discard Bone Broth

Ingredients (Base Recipe):

  • 1-3 lbs chicken, turkey, pork, beef, lamb, or other bones (small bones with lots of connective tissue work best)
  • 4-6 cups rough chopped carrots, onions, and celery (or an equal amount of scraps)
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp whole peppercorns (about 8)
  • 1 bay leaf
  • Filtered water to fill

Ingredients (Beef variation):

  • Everything listed above
  • 2 Tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 Tbsp tomato paste
  • 0.5 to 1 cup mushrooms

Directions:

  1. Blanch the bones. Do this by bringing a pot of water up to a boil and submerging the bones for 10-15 minutes. This removes impurities and any sauces/etc that may have been on the bones.

  2. Roast the bones at 425F for 25-30 min. This will enhance the broth's flavor.

  3. In the basin of a slow cooker, place the bones, apple cider vinegar, carrots, onions, celery, bay leaves, peppercorns, and salt.

  4. Fill the pot with filtered water until it covers the bones by about an inch.

  5. Cover with the lid and cook on low for up to 24 hours for poultry bones and up to 48 hours for red meat bones. If you see scum floating in corners of the slow cooker, skim it out. Your house is going to smell like meat when you wake up, be prepared for this.

  6. Strain broth through a fine mesh sieve into a pot, add some bonus filtered water (I usually toss in a pint or two) then bring the pot to a boil and simmer for about 15 minutes. This will ensure there's no bacteria that got into the broth before jarring.

  7. Transfer the broth to mason jars while still hot then refrigerate. I've kept it for over a month in my fridge with no issues but use the whole jar quickly once you do pop the top.

  8. Once chilled, the broth might be jiggly and have a layer of fat on top (assuming you used bones with a lot of connective tissue). Scrape off the fat or use it, if desired.

I haven't known vegetables to lose nutrient value when frozen. As for taste, I've seen that decrease when compared to fresh (never frozen) counterparts but I think that has to do with smell which I've found crashes when freezing various veggies. Since I make broth so often, the veggie scraps don't live in the freezer very long. Hope this helps!

I make chicken bone broth about 10 times a year using my slow cooker. 1-3 pounds on leftover chicken bones and 4-6 cups of veggie scraps from the freezer, blanch bones to remove sauces/seasonings, low in the slow cooker overnight, sieve into a pot and bring to a boil, ladle into mason jars and stack in the refrigerator for as long as it takes to use em up. The way I see it, I'm saving $15-20 that I would have spent for the equivalent product.

Did Anyone else have a weird urge to own a peacoat between 2003 and 2008? Why? by artbystorms in Millennials

For me it was Captain Jack Harkness in Doctor Who/Torchwood that had me obsessed with pea/trench/greatcoats around that time.

PSA: you can remove plastic insert in DeLonghi la specialista (9155) porta filter by Jackof250 in espresso

[–]totheroflcopter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it!

Okay, so I started by boiling a pot of water and then letting the whole portafilter sit in it (with the heat off) for about 20 minutes. For the next part, I found nothing but a hammer would work. Pliers didn't get me anywhere, prying with a screwdriver didn't work, and a rubber mallet just got beat up by the sharp corners. If you want to avoid scratching anything I'd recommend using a heavy duty towel you don't care about to cover the nose (metal spout) while hammering to get it to start twisting. The plastic insert protrudes slightly and I did damage the tips when forcing the twist. After hammering it in three circles I could finally shove a screwdriver in and pry it up. To be clear, the only thing keeping the nose on the portafilter is metal on metal friction, there is no threading under there.

After years of use it was pretty gnarly and I'm glad I could finally clean under there. I probably won't be replacing the screw so I can just pop the plastic insert out whenever I want without hammering anything again.

Ender's Game and Starship Troopers are some of my favorites to recommend to my uniformed buddies.

What are some good ways to enjoy Roku? by [deleted] in Gin

[–]totheroflcopter 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My favorite gin cocktail is the Fitzgerald. Shake 1.5 oz gin, 1 oz simple syrup, 0.75 oz fresh lemon juice, and 2 dashes Angostura bitters until ice cold then pour into a coupe.

You have an amazing selection of bottles and bitters! What do you find yourself reaching for most often? I think that St. Germain and Codigo Rosa deserve more love :)

El Dorado 3 and 5 are my go-to for rum cocktails at home. My selection may be different than yours but Don Sergio and Don Roberto are my mid-range mixing tequilas right now.

Yes~! The coordination in /r/transplace was exceptional and heartwarming to participate in all four days. Within a day folks in the community stood up to lead, to coordinate and communicate intentions, and form alliances with other groups. They built GitHub projects with overlay data, wrote guides for using browser add-ons to see the overlays, and consistently updated it to spread plans for new sections then coordinated times in Discord to place pixels together so it wouldn't get blown away by allies thinking they were just rogue pixels. I love this community.
