I make a vegetable broth roughly every 2 weeks. Nothing astounding. I
like to have it handy all the time and it comes from my desire to
reduce the food wastage in my home that so many North Americans are
known for.
Today's blend was exceptional.
*Nothing* used in this is actually gone 'bad'. It's just roots or
peels of things and that which has gone a bit wrinkly or rubbery.
Normally a lot of cabbage ends and such, this time it was turnip ends
and peels, onion ends and peels, carrot ends and peels, some corn that
got a bit too dry, and of all things, a fair amount of asparagus ends!
Oh and a fair amount of Broccoli where Don was trying to find room and
tucked in the freezer (unaware it has to be blanched first).
I add a little salt and nothing else but the veggies and water. The
Asparagus and Broccoli mix was exceptional. Those who eat just the
flower parts and toss the stems, may want to save them up and try
making a broth with them. If you get fresh asparagus often and chop
the ends off that may be woody, save those.
This time I had so many veggies in there, I got only about 2 quarts
after straining out all the veggies, but it's one of the better mixes.

Winter's best friend is vegetarian. You should read my book.

On the drive back, they detoured in Columbia, Missouri's big university town,
and stopped at a pizza parlor. "Let's get the Masterpiece," said Winter. Chloe
said she thought that sounded great. "I'm so relieved," said Winter, "because
you always worry when a new person comes into the family, that there's
going to be something really weird about them, and vegetarian is weird."
"Don't listen to her, Chloe," said Eric. "Her best friend is a vegetarian."

The woody ends of asparagus should be snapped off at the produce
department before weighing at the checkout.

As usual, GM tries to insinuate it's garbage veggies when it's not.
It's just root ends, ends of asparagus, peels from fresh veggies and a
mistakenly frozen broccoli (pre-blanching).
This sort of simple non-waste is good for the environment. Many of us
don't live where we have livestock to feed or room for a real compost
setup. Nor can we willy-nilly toss it out the window for the deer and
critters to eat, or just rot away.
Anyway, I rarely have mistreated broccoli or aspargus ends so added a
post that they make good additions for those who discard the stems.
If it's not clear, here is what happens.
Those same veggies I used, have the ends and peels put to the side and
then gathered as sent via diesel truck to another facility where they
are boiled and strained, then boxed and put on a truck to be delivered
eventually to your store where you buy it feeling all virtuous as you
toss out the fresher better _same_ peels in your trash.... and eat from
a lesser quality box you could have better made (and healthier) at home.

farmers... larger eateries do likewise. Farmers here who raise Black
Angus make the rounds to the eateries after hours with their pick up
trucks, they collect all the leavings from the bread baskets too, and
also day old donuts from Dunkin. Hospitals, prisons and other
commissaries also donate leftover foods to livestock farmers. Swine
aren't too proud to dine on potato and carrot peels. I toss veggie
peelings out my office window, deer arrive several times a day to
dumpster dive. Meat trimmings get tossed off my deck for the birds,
all that fat is what gets them through the winter. Skimmed fat from
soups go in cardboard milk containers in our freezer, mixed with some
bird seed makes a treat for the birds that winter over.

spines, and I skim off the fat... chickens are cheap. I don't mind
making chicken salad from simmered chicken meat... actually quite good
diced and mixed with mayo, herbs, and spices. Mayo is made with
vegetable fat, much more healthful than chicken fat. The chicken fat
gets mixed with bird seed, frozen with other meat fat and fed to the
wintering birds. Skimmed fat from chicken broth is not schmaltz,
schmaltz is the pan drippings from roasted chicken. Fat skimmed from
simmering/boiling water hasn't reached a nearly high enough
temperature, and even if heated in a pan will taste awful because all
the flavor is in the cooking water.

flavorful as the tender portion of the stalk... may as well make apple
juice from apple tree prunings. Asparagus bunches are typically held
together with a wide rubberband, I move that ruberbad a bit closer to
the asparagus tips and with one fell swoop I slice all those bottoms
off at once. I save the bottoms and enjoy nibbling the last of the
tender part remaining. When I get to the tough woody flavorless
portion I toss those into the composter. I keep a very nice looking
SS compost bucket on my kitchen counter, when full I carry it out to
one of or composters, we have two, one by the veggie garden for what
remains after the growing season, the other is near our back door for
kitchen trimmings. A lot of greenery and trimmings from the veggie
garden gets tossed over the fence for the critters, like outer cabbage
leaves. Somehow critters know which vegetable plants are toxic and
leave those, like tomato, eggplant, those in the nightshade family.

slight off flavor, but not enough to figure out how to pull it out. I too
throw away the portion of the spine between the breasts, as there's
almost no meat on it, but I pull the spinal cord out of the neck, and

enhance a meat stock or bone stock!
I had intended to give a whirl at it with the chicken bones but Don's
so used to tossing fresh bones out fast (due to our dogs, got taken out
right away) that he didn't think of it.
Meantime, I'd made a rather nice meaty crockpot chicken and vegetable
stew yesterday so the trimmings went to the veggie broth along with the
other things mentioned.
I am out of fresh poultry stock now other than my Knorrs powdered and
some 'emergency supplies' of boxed. It tastes fairly good but is
higher in sodium than I like for Don. Has a lot of stabilizers and
stuff too but so much of what we make now is scratch, a little here and
there of such won't hurt us.

times as a kid. It was grated potatoes but the outer part mostly. The
inner potato was saved for something else. Those were fried up just
like any other loose hash brown. Might seem odd to a northerner and I
don't recall seeing them when 'eating out'. Strictly a home food at
friend's houses.
Sometimes those same grated peels with some potato, were pressed into a
pie tin (with butter or a bit of lard) to form a crust and baked like
that then eggs and cream went in the center with bits of ham or
sausage, sometimes onion and/or mushrooms were added. Very similar to
a Quiche but with a potato base vs pastry.

broccoli doesn't appeal to me or Don. I gather blanch first before

LOL, I love Don but he has to be watched when stowing groceries
sometimes.
As to snapping off the ends of asparagus here, it's sold by the bunch,
not weight. They don't appreciate people making a mess like that
except for 1 item:
Corn in husk will have a bin so you can at least partly peel to check
it. Some will quickly husk it all right there. Sold by the ear, not
weight. If you were going to steam or boil it right away, it's
reasonable to do it that way.

and especially female faces, the more feminine looking the better. The cover
photo conveys an image of a woman who is ready to consent to a kiss. The book
is marketed to women, and I gather that the male actor is also considered very
attractive to women. The cover photo is hot. It pushes my buttons.

the cabbage leaves were attached, that part is bitter but the center
part is sweet and tender... we call that part the cabbage heart. There
are several parts of vegetables that are very good that many don't
think are edible; peeled broccoli stems eaten raw are excellent. I
feed the tough outer cabbage leaves to the deer but I reserve the
hearts for me.. cabbage grows very well here, typically 10-15 pounds.
One of my favorite veggies:
https://www.growveg.com/guides/how-to-grow-bulb-fennel/
I use the feathery fronds for a seafood stock, the thick stems make a
wonderful rack on an outdoor grill for cooking fish. The actual bulbs
are a fine cook's treat.

'Cabbage Heart' is possibly what most toss and I use for vegetable
broth (one of several components).
I rarely get American Broccoli so no need to peel the stems. Look up
Gai Lan and you can see why no need to peel.

My 7 year old granddaughter says she won't eat meat because it's from animal. It's a problem keeping her fed. She's such a skinny little thing. Mostly she likes rice and seaweed. My daughter got a smoothie machine and some peanut powder to try to beef up her calories but this could be a problem. My other granddaughters are pretty well fed and healthy.
My high school friend is also losing weight at an alarming rate. That guy will only eat fish and chicken and is deathly afraid of oil. Perhaps I should get him a smoothie machine and peanut powder. I even recommended that he take up smoking weed. That guy would grow plants during high school. My guess is that most of my friends did too. When we graduated and went to college, they all went into the school of Agriculture. I thought that was plain weird.

my recent weight loss. I started following the Heart and Stroke diet
plan which had one beef dish every three weeks, chicken about once a
week, a couple fish dishes per week and the rest are vegetarian... also
very low salt and low fat. The meat and dish portions were all very
small. I was losing 1-1/2 lb. per day. I eventually plateaued. I gained
a couple pounds back after Christmas because I was eating desserts and
more meat. We did vegetarian last night and the night before and I
dropped two pounds.
Personally, I have found a semi vegetarian diet to be a good way to lose
weight, though I cut out good desserts and pastry treats. I know a fww
vegetarians who don't seem to enjoy that benefit.
