Stock and bouillon


If you’ve done your homework, you’ve noticed that almost all soup recipes call for stock. 
Guess what? 
That’s another thing you never have to buy again. I discovered years ago that making stock is even easier than making soup. And you can make it from things most people put in the garbage! Honestly.

You know all those potato, cucumber, pumpkin and zucchini peels, pear and apple cores, onion skins, cauliflower and broccoli stalks, leek tops, plus the outer leaves of lettuce, cabbage, and the green tops of the celery that collect in your kitchen? 
Instead of sending them straight to the compost, or worm farm, keep some of them in a plastic bag in the freezer. 
Once you have enough to half-fill your biggest pot, it’s time to make stock.

Add some bones and a teaspoon full of vinegar to draw the minerals out of those bones, and you have the makings of highly nutritious stock.  You can freeze it into single servings and use it in stews and casseroles as well as soup.

I am not adding salt, MSG and sugar to my otherwise healthy cooking. 
Podravka Vegeta real gourmet stock. 
Main ingredient salt. :( 
Dehydrated vegetables and parsley—I will use fresh from my garden.
Monosodium Glutamate—NO thank you!
Disodium Insinuate—more salt
Sugar—Why?
I make healthy stock from the scrap vegetables and bones some people throw away, I freeze and use that stock when needed.

Customer,'What is the generic brand for this script." Chemist's reply, 'Chicken Broth.'
Potassium Broth 

Is an alkalizing vegetable drink, a great addition to a diet to assist with healthy bone formation and maintenance. I include this broth into my own healthy eating plan anytime I am troubled by arthritis pain for any length of time, I have always gained relief, just by returning to a more alkalizing type of diet.  This in turn is very beneficial as part of my bone health action plan


Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme are all antibacterial and antiviral! ...But you still need to alkalize for bone health. 

To 1   1/2 quarts of water add:

2 large potatoes, chopped or sliced to approx. 1/2 inch slices

1 cup carrots, shredded or sliced

1 cup celery, chopped or shredded, leaves and all

Some Beet tops, turnip tops, parsley, onion or whatever you have from the garden (or whatever is in season at the store)

Add some fresh herbs like sage, rosemary, thyme & garlic

I also add a few red pepper seeds

You could add gravy beef if you want the flavour of beef tea or some Vegemite if you crave the salty flavour.

Cover and cook slowly for about 1/2 hour using only stainless steel, glass or earthenware utensils.  Strain the broth off and cool.  Serve warm or cold.  If not used immediately, keep in refrigerator and warm up before serving. Give the cooked vegetables to your chickens or put them on your compost pile. 

 Makes about 3 servings.

This is a standard beverage for all the health spas and healing clinics in Sweden a big mug of potassium broth--a cleansing, alkalizing and mineral-rich drink.

    Age 50-Plus Main Characters

    'Old style cozy' as in not a witch, or a cat, or a bad boy alpha male (the type this older author would kick in the groin rather than have her heroine fall for) in sight.
    That's the type of soft-boiled mysteries, and fifty-plus, older woman heroines who expects a man to treat her with respect, that Ryn Shell writes.

    Soft-Boiled
    Mysteries

    A cozy mystery is a good mystery novel without violence shown in the explicit detail of blood and gore and gritty details.
    The stories feature an  amateur detective and often take place in a small town or community.  If sex occurs in the story, it is either alluded to, or takes place behind closed doors in the older style cozies.

    Staying independent and mobile, to be able to get myself out of a chair without assistance is my superwoman stunt at age seventy-five.
    Being blessed with an active and functioning mind, I can live with a mature age disability. I see this time as ideal to write mysteries full-time, tapping into a wealth of experience.

    Ryn, above, enjoying the gray (gray with an a for active) nomad life at age 64.

    Reg is still my partner in life and my love, although he lives in aged care. We have marriage by iPhone messenger, and visits.
    Reg approves of my plan to write romantic suspense once this cozy series is finished and published. He thinks my writing steamy sex scenes will keep me out of mischief.
