Earlier in this thread I posted that you should always put your green onion roots in a cup in the windowsill. they can be regrown two or three times before they start to lose flavor.
The short ones are what they look like after cutting off their tops for cooking. Then I put the roots in the water.

The long ones are Only 10 days old.


Once they get a couple inches big, you should plant them in a pot of soil. As you run low and buy new ones you can plant them with the rest or every few months replace them in a large pot (on covered deck) or a few small window sill planters and you will have ones that will always be fresh and in stock.

They go bad much quicker in the water (over weeks on end) than they do in soil. I also find after a few weeks in water, they start to absorb bunch of water up the plant. I also noticed, if you rinse the roots and refresh the water in the cup, the green onions will last longer and grow healthier.

I didn’t really push myself today. A chicken roast dinner is pretty normal for a Brit




You save the bones for broths and soups?

We will buy a few hens at a time. I will split a few of them in half. The bones from a half hen will make some great ramen broth. A whole hen carcass will make some good soup.

You are onto something. I always freeze seafood shells and fish carcasses to make fish stock for a risotto but never think about bones with poultry. I'm not fussy but maybe they make me a bit icky, I always order boneless wings if I'm in a wings bar watching football.
Bone broth is so good for you too. I'll save this carcass, making your own is loads better than buying a mass produced Knorr stock cube I'm sure.

You can make the broth taste just like ichiban instant noodles if you want.

I love cooking scars. The hand one isn’t bad and the arm burn isn’t as bad as is looks

I’ve done far worse to myself in the kitchen

That arm one looks bad :mask:
I'm normally a bit of a baby with burns but neither are that bad. I normally leg it to a tap but not that bad. First burns I had since a Thai monk scribbled on the other side of my arm, maybe his blessing was more than just Buddhist stuff ;) It smarted a tad but it's absolutely no issue now.

Anybody want a finish sweetbread family recipe?

My kid takes this shit seriously


This legit? Really got a cob on haha. He's SUCH a cute kid though. Proper attitude already, must come from mum's side being you're so easy going. Nothing wrong with either of that.

Finally getting around to using the starter that ThatOneDude @ThatOneDude sent me. My fucking mixer took a shit on me. The gears are stripped, but I think I got it mixed enough. My stimulus money is going toward a new mixer.
