Don’t underestimate the impact of a gorgeous, golden-brown roasted chicken as a festive main dish, especially when the skin has been rubbed with a buttery mixture of garlic, lemon zest, orange zest, and flavorful seasonings.

I was once in the car with my dad and sister in the way home and we were singing really badly. My sister made her voice crack on purpose and my dad asked, “How do you do that in command?” My sister responded, “It’s really easy.” I said back, “So easy that your boyfriend can do it without even trying.” (Her boyfriend’s voice cracked a lot.) And I now have to live the rest of my days knowing that I’ll never reach that same high of that incredible roast no matter how hard I try.

You’re witty and talkative🙄 Its like i have 1 question and I got a 4 hour lecture and its annoying. You are like the anxiety mosquito from the Big Mouth🙄🙄🙄Self-centered, stubborn, arrogant, TENSED, Triggered King/Queen You think you’re always right and organized? No.

Claire: Hi there!

Melanie: Oh my gosh. Those clothes are SO ugly.

Claire: Oh sorry. I mean you trying to be cool by calling me ugly is like, watching a pig trying to be a butterfly. Fat. Stupid. Unsuccessful. Just quit it.

Amen!

Bone broth is rich and nutritious, and contains a high amount of collagen (an amino acid complex). It can be used in place of bouillon and as a base for soup stock. In warm cup of bone broth is also great by itself on a cold winter’s day with a slice of freshly baked warm bread.

Basic Ingredients

• Beef or chicken bones. These can be leftover from steaks, roasts, or whatever. Any bones from poultry will also work.
• 1 or 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar.
•    Water

Instant Pot Method

• Put the bones in the instant pot, filling the pot about half way.
• Fill with water so the pot is about 2/3 full.
• Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or red wine vinegar.
• Cook for 2 hours.
• When finished cooking, let cool for about 2 hours.
• Once it’s cool enough, remove and discard the bones and any other solids.
• Strain the broth and refrigerate. Skim off any fat once it has solidified.
• Pour into glass jars and leave at least an inch and a half below the rim for freezing.

Stove Top or Slow Cooker Method

Same as above, except cover and simmer for 12 hours. Make sure there’s adequate water while cooking.

Options

   All or some of these can also be added:

•    6 cloves of garlic (or to taste)
•    3 carrots, coarsely chopped
•    3 medium yellow onions, coarsely chopped
•    3 ribs of celery, coarsely chopped
•    Herbs (whatever you like and to taste)
•    6 or more peppercorns
•    Salt to taste

Notes

   The vinegar is essential in extracting the collagen from the bones. The final product should have a slightly jelled consistency.

   I personally prefer to either do beef or poultry by itself.

Dedicating a short poem to my best friend Aman whose motto basically is to roast him, not at all an expression of love. I have to take this way as he is double my size and roasting him directly will invite trouble or bruises in my case.

So the poem goes like this-

Raat mein jo chamke usse kehte hai taara;

Mere bhai ka naam hai daara.

Raat ke baad hota hai savera;

103 kg ka hai bhai mera.

Savera ke baad hoti hai dopahar,

Dehradun hai iska shehar.

Dopahar ke baad hoti hai shaam,

Isse nahi hai koi kaam dhaam.

Shaam ke baad hoti hai raat,

Kitni bhi karwalo isse baat.

English version

What twinkles in a night is called a star,

My Friend’s weight has got no bar.

What comes after night is called a day,

No machine could measure how much he weigh.

Followed by day comes the noon,

His city is known as Dehradun.

Goes the noon,comes the night,

Now most of this pants have got tight.

What I have completed is a dare,

Really Aman, if you felt bad,

I don’t care..

Ohh dear Reader!

If you have read it till here,

How do you have so much time to spare?

A new twist on an old holiday favorite. While preparation is best done over a fire-pit, the oven works just as well if you are short on minions to turn and baste or if you happen to reside in the city.

This is a dish that will make your tongue jump out of your mouth, slap you in the face, and say ‘Oh yeah’. Put meat and maybe some Pico De Gallo or salsa into warm tortillas to make tacos.
