I seem to be channeling my inner Brigid

I have a chicken carcass simmering down to broth, and bread rising in the oven.  I'm writing up a range report for my new (to me) Lee Enfield (check back tomorrow).

The problem, of course, is that her soup is better, her bread is better, and she's a better shot.  Sigh.

Still, how bad can it be, with fresh bread and shooting an old battle rifle?  Some days are made for Old School, and that's not a bad thing at all.

None of those things sound bad to me, either. I'd love to shoot the old rifle, too.

Nope, matter of fact, 'practice' of those skills is a GOOD thing!

And you had to call and tell me what you were putting in the chicken dish, by the time you got to rice wine, ginger and hotsauce I drooled on my keyboard.

Enjoy!!

Sounds like a good evening. Which model and caliber did you end up with?

And I'd love to participate in another ATL blogmeet once you're back over here and can breathe a little.

Sounds great on all parts. I like to buy whole chickens and do my own disassembly. I keep a large ziploc in the freezer and add backs and wing tips until I need to make stock (I do the same with shrimp shells). Works great. Enjoy.
