Hi Dave,
RH> We needed something fast after our accident in December, 2016. This was
RH> available, also had the bed cover which was needed. The F-150 came with
RH> a bed cover but Steve found a cap on Craig's List (person wanted a bed
RH> cover) so some Yankee trading made both parties happy.
DD> I've never had (nor wanted) a bed cover. Or, for thst matter, a
DD> topper. My brother had a pickup with a hard bed cover that raised up
DD> like the
DD> hood of a car. It made getting at stuff up near the cab an occasion
DD> for strong language and a bad attitude. Bv)=
A bed cover helps keep the stuff in the back of the truck dry. Camper
doesn't have enough room to carry all that Steve wants; add radio stuff
to the camping gear and a bed is very handy. He has a tall cover so
built a "mezzinine" (as a friend called it) to double stack stuff and
just got a bed slide out to make getting to the stuff near the cab
easier. Contrast that to my carrying a small sewing machine, small box
of supplies (scissors, pins, etc), ironing pad and travel iron. (G)
RH> I generally use water, a bit of salt and Bragg's Seasoning (similar to
RH> Mrs. Dash). After the carcass is simmered for a bit, I'll cool it to
RH> where it can be deboned. If I'm making chicken soup, I'll add some
RH> turmeric at that time but not if I just want the stock.
DD> Do you add the flesh back into the stockpot? Or save and freeze it for
DD> use down the road? If I'm doing leg quarters I reserve the skin to one
DD> side to add to the stock after I strain out the bones and veg. Let it
DD> come back to temperature then blend it with the immersion blender for
DD> a very "rich" stock.
Meat goes back in the stock if I'm making soup, otherwise gets used in a
variety of ways.
I've got a couple of good sized thighs marinading in a marinade I picked
up from Wegman's, see how it compares to the recipe we usually do.
They'll go on the grill for supper tonight, along with some steamed
fresh from the farmer's market green beans and something else.
