Passover '04, day -2

[jbsegal]

So far, 8 chickens (sans breasts) - 24# +-, 21q water. The initial simmer has 2-2.5 hrs to go.

Again (like last year), I'm using the Cooks Illustrated water/meat proportions - 4# meat, 3.5q water.

However, I'm using the canonical veggie mix - Carrot, Turnip/Parsnip, Onion, Dill.

I hope to get a bunch of apples chopped tonight, too.
