/ck/ - Food & Cooking

For me, it's stews. Get some cuts of meat and bones from the butcher, get some mushrooms, apples, potatoes, carrots and onions from the yard or farmer's market.
Trim off the less choice bits like the onion skin, carrot stringy roots, potato eyes and roots, the gristle and fat from the meat and boil all that together in salt and pepper for a day. Strain that, then slowcook all the good stuff for 8 hours in the broth. It's maybe 10 bucks and a little driving around to make enough food for a week. Get some rice or bread to really stretch it out.
