Waste not, Want not...

I dont throw much out. Things are recycled where i can, food scraps are divided up amongst the chooks, dog, cat, horse and compost..Ive started collecting fat from roasts and boiling chicken stock, then use it to fry up home-made chips. 
And ive just come up with something to do with a left-over BBQ chicken carcass. You know the ones u buy from the supermarket, already cooked. Our supermarket does a delicious one, so there is never much left, but i can still get some stock out of it. I put in a pot ( take the stuffing out) , then put in the aromatics. This time, i made an asian one, so i put in lemon-grass, kaffir lime, ginger and garlic and galangal. I simmered it for an hour or so, and im left with a beautiful rich chicken stock, full of flavour.
You could do a traditional one with carrot, celery onion bayleaf and peppercorns..

These are from my garden..
