/ck/ - Food & Cooking

I feel for ya Op.
I recently moved from rural Kentucky to the suburbs of Steamboat Springs Colorado. I didn't have a chance to garden this year and that really has me down. And I hate being so close to all these people. Even tho Steamboat is a small city, I thought I could still get a few staples. I can't find ham hocks anywhere in this town! How do people here make soup without them!? I can't find decent buttermilk either, so I guess I'll have to make it myself. And chicken thighs are hard to get! Every place carries boneless skinless breast or whole chickens. Now I'm no stranger to taking a chicken apart, but we eat mostly thighs. It's still too hot here to roast a whole chicken in the oven (we have no air conditioning).
