Thanks for the shout out. And I will take some tips from your fancy pants brother about stock making. As for roasting upside down, I'm sure I've seen recipes use that as a method to keep breast meat from drying out when roasting birds, since the breast gets done sooner than the dark meat. Your chicken looks great and I can't believe how much stock you got from a chicken!<BR/>Nancyn.o.ehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12870024363382414106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944415312308190707.post-31586928377943672252009-01-20T21:27:00.000-05:002009-01-20T21:27:00.000-05:00Making your own stock is the way to go! I make mine ALL the time. I can't go back to canned! ugh! Your brother had a great idea to put it in the oven! I may try that!Sweet as Cocohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12714249580972895760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944415312308190707.post-25853928067132166892009-01-18T22:28:00.000-05:002009-01-18T22:28:00.000-05:00LOL! I had to laugh because I roasted our Thanksgiving turkey upside down the first Thanksgiving my hubs and I had Thanksgiving in our own house. My mom figured out what was wrong, and I totally did not have a sense of humor about it (I've since learned that I do things like that way too often to let it get to me!) Great job on the stock, too. I've tried to get into the habit of making a huge pot of stock once every couple of months and freezing it, and it's made such a difference in soups (and other things!). I love your/your brother's idea of transferring it to a low-temperature oven!Cathyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06859210460017421539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944415312308190707.post-21295937579406317242009-01-18T18:08:00.000-05:002009-01-18T18:08:00.000-05:00that happened to me too, i had to laugh when i read this. it was my first time making a whole chicken. <BR/><BR/>http://somethingsweetbykaren.wordpress.com/2008/07/26/my-kitchen-my-world-greece/karenhttp://somethingsweetbykaren.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8944415312308190707.post-89392558391301864782009-01-18T12:32:00.000-05:002009-01-18T12:32:00.000-05:00i let my stock cool in the fridge overnight. <A HREF="http://wellenuffalone.blogspot.com/2009/01/idea-chicken-jello.html" REL="nofollow">then freeze it in muffin tins. </A> it is easier to handle when it's gelatinous. salevibjgodseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09361695956977017963noreply@blogger.com
