Hell yeah microwaving soup is fun. You get to watch it spin around and sometimes it pops
I wish I could cook for like 12 people once or twice a week so I can make a bunch of food and not have leftovers and get someone else to do the dishes after
Oh I wish, just put some music on and get in the cooking zone :marx-ok:
The real 2nd gender would have you spending 12 hours making stock from scratch
That would be the comical extreme contrast lol, but imo making meat stock is not worth it unless you've got a bunch of bones/trimmings on hand already and you're gonna be lazy and toss it in a pressure cooker instead of letting it simmer for a whole day. Keeping veggie scraps in the freezer for stock is a pretty good middle ground though! I like just using stock paste out of a jar since it's easy to store, cheaper to transport, and you're not paying for the water content, and imo tastes much better since you can tweak the concentration of flavor more easily
ETA: I did have to restrain myself from adding in my favorite handmade noodle recipe
Fuck broth, throw a whole chicken in water with it. When the chicken's done, take it out, reduce the soup while the chicken cools (add optional rice or noodles now), then take the meat off the carcass by hand when it's cool enough, add it back to the soup. Similar in price to buying decent stock.
