#leftovers

Over the past 6 weeks or so, I have cooked two boneless pork butts in my dutch oven. (In the USA, this cut of meat is called the "butt" because it comes from the shoulder 🤷‍♀️). I have reserved and frozen the leftover liquid. Today, I thawed it out, added an equal part water by volume, brought it to a simmer, and then froze it in this ice-cube tray. I consider this to be seasoning rather than stock because it has all of the seasoning from the butts in it.

What should I do with the leftover lard?

Dark brown liquid fills the 4 square holes in a silicone ice cube tray. The black mold sits on a stainless steal pan.

What is #HumbleSoup, you may ask. It's any soup you whip up quickly, usually for just one meal. Beyond that, it's up to you. It's a great way to use up #leftovers and create new flavors on the fly. It helps to keep a few things on hand, like #bonebroth or other stock, frozen vegetables, cheese, and flavors like marinara, chutney, miso, etc. Mix and match! Be adventurous. Find your own favorites. Be #frugal Post your own, use this hashtag

This pretty much sums up the habits I got from my grandparents. Some of which are habits we should all adopt. Notice how they refer to these as "Odd Behaviors" -- a bit classist, but whatev...

15 Odd Behaviors Only People from Lower Middle-Class Families Will Recognize

"We never throw old towels away as they become rags for cleaning or drying pets. Repurposing items to save money on cleaning supplies can save a reasonable amount of dollars in a year." [And without the #Microplastic pollution from buying plastic cleaning cloths!]

Here's what made the #leftovers phenomenal:

1. Since it was down to carnivore me, I lightly crisped andouille sausage chunks in oil on med-high before adding all the remaining soup to the pot.

2. Bring to a boil. Lower heat to simmer. Cover. Let it cook until potatoes as nicely soft as they shoulda been.

3. Whisk 2 tbl flour (or GF thickener) into about 1/2 C heavy whipping cream. Pour into soup. Simmer another 5 min.

It's not "individual elements in broth" anymore, I tell you what.

OK, so: That Creamy Dill Pickle Soup from my big Winter Solstice Cookery Roundup?

Two important things about that soup:

1. Where the recipe says the flour (or GF equivalent) is optional, IT IS NOT OPTIONAL.

2. Timing suggestions are only suggestions. Make sure the potatoes have cooked enough, before you add the pickle stuff! (Maybe even start them cooking before the carrots and onions.)

With these thoughts in mind: (cont'd)

The Wandering ShopNicole J. LeBoeuf (she/her) (@NicoleJLeBoeuf@wandering.shop)The dill pickle soup, added because pickles are a THING for my roller derby league, will likely be better as leftovers; freshly cooked, it was still individual elements in a broth.(https://themodernnonna.com/creamy-dill-pickle-soup/) The pies totally fell apart on the plate but were proclaimed delicious. One featured pork breakfast sausage, the other Abbot's brand vegan "chorizo", and both were made with The Maine Co. GF crusts which continue to amaze me with how easy they are to roll out.
