    Nothing fancy

    big stockpot of veggie soup stock. I basically throw all my veggie trimmings (carrot ends, onion ends, celery base, tops , too small garlic cloves/ ends etc ) into a stock pot and keep it in the fridge. End of the week I boil it all with salt , coriander , cumin, thyme, pepper etc and strain it off. Freeze it in jars. The strained off solids left in the pot , end up in the compost bin. If I lived rural I would feed the pigs or dogs or chickens the leftovers

    And a number 16 Billy pot with cabbage onion potato garlic soup. Food for three days for less than $3 . Add a loaf of peasant bread and some butter. Mmmm

    Add Veggies and a fat heaping teaspoon of jarred garlic,

    Add four eggs,

    Flip and top with Tillamook Sharp Cheddar Cheese,

    Plate it up and reluctantly share half with the bride. Because she dealt with the mini bagels.

    As I watch the world unravel,
    I am pleased every time I can have a meal in peace and can afford the ingredients to make it.

    May we continue to enjoy such luxuries.

    Duck confit, with honey dill carrots and mashed potatoes with heavy cream & plenty of butter. The sauce is a duck stock that I reduced to just shy of syrup consistency.

    Confit (con-fee) is a food preservation technique dating back hundreds of years. Meat is cured for a couple of days, then slow cooked in its own fat. Once cooking is complete, the meat is carefully transferred to a container, and then fat is strained and poured over the top of the meat to fully submerge it. Without water or oxygen, bacteria cannot grow.

    This leg was vacuum sealed and frozen, and warmed through using sous vide. There are, however, several legs encased in fat in the fridge. I've eaten rabbit that I cooked and stored in fat in the fridge for a couple of months without any issues (aside from wanting more).
