Thread of What You've Eaten, Cooked and/or Drunk Lately

[Jagdaddy]

I have to confess, I do like turning "trash" into a tasty meal. Whenever I trim chicken of beef I save the trimmings in the freezer. If I have an extra half onion... to the freezer...

This was the first time I tried to make a fish stock, but now that I've proven to Mrs. BKB that it's worth saving fish parts (She reluctantly lets me save the other "trash") I'll make more.... I had to go undercover to do this one. Last time she had lobster, I told her to save the shells. She said, and I quote: "I will not."

So... I snuck them into the freezer when she was out of the room. Same thing with the fish skin.

On special occasions, because it’s a lot of work and pretty pricey, I’ve picked up whole live lobsters from the Asian market and turned them into pasta with lobster tomato cream sauce. The leftover sauce freezes pretty well and we usually get two additional much easier not quite as amazing meals with shrimp subbed as the protein out of it.

I can relate, I'm constantly having to bamboozle my wife into allowing me to keep scraps, bones, bacon grease... she see it as unsanitary but I know otherwise
