Passover '08 - Day -1

[jbsegal]

And Days -3 and -2

Soup is 13.5 quarts, 15# chicken, 5 hours of boiling, 6 hours of simmering, 10 hours of light boiling (that was unintentional... left the heat a bit higher than intended... and then over night, another 4# of chicken boiled in 4 quarts of the existing soup... which is now re-combined and on low heat -- when passover's earlier in the year, I can store (and chill) the soup outside. Not so much this year.

Lots of other foods bought and hopefully the last of the shopping being done now.

Charoset will start with 10# apples... I wonder how much the cores and peels weigh.

happy Passover day -1!

I finally got my broth made yesterday, too. Much easier, now that I am convert to putting matzo balls in homemade vegetable broth (heavy on the parsnips and carrots) instead of bothering with all that chicken. And then the vegetarians can enjoy it too.

Happy Passover day -1! (Passover Eve?) Out of curiosity, did you have problems finding kosher for Passover margarine this year? I saw the article about the shortage in the online WSJ.

Kl'P margarine is one of the many things I can't be arsed to deal with.
Ick.
So no. ;)

Depending on how good you are at peeling apples, I always figure that the core and peel weigh 1/6th of the whole. Mmm on chicken broth. It puts the stuff I made from the puny Boston Market chicken bones last night to shame!
