It's freezing here and I bought a large quantity of chicken backs and pork spines to make broth. It also brings with it a good amount of meat- not enough to center a meal around, but definitely too much to just feed to the dog as a snack.
While I respect the importance of hydration, and do love keeping warm, I'm a bit overwhelmed at the amount of "warming slop" we are eating. Congee, grits, polenta, oatmeal, sooooo much soup. Homemade ramen last night was rather impressive, but.... I'm running out of ideas.
I have another batch of chicken backs in the slow cooker right now. My plan originally was grits with some veggies in it, but I'm not sold 100%. Anyone have any good ideas beyond the basic warm slop for this meaty broth?
