We made it. Into the new house, I mean. After a weekend of heavy lifting, we are here. We probably have one more load to bring over from the old to the new. Then we will be done. This move seems like it has been a long time in the making. And I should be the first to tell you that, well, it's pretty great. It is probably more than great, it's perfect.

I woke up this morning to a very upset little girl. Her throat hurt. Sick little girl in a new house. Boo. We need some soup. Have you ever made your own broth? I have, several different ways. Recently I came across a recipe for
chicken stock in a crock pot. Yes please. Because we don't have chicken bones, I used what we had on hand: beef. We split a cow with some friends this year and you actually get bones for stock, if you want them. I would think you could use either.
Beef Broth
(modified to beef from
The Complete Guide to Imperfect Homemaking)
1 soup bone (or left over chicken bones, if you are doing chicken broth)
1 crock pot
enough water to cover bones
splash of apple cider vinegar
Cook all day on low. Strain out all of the chunkies and the end of the day you have some beautiful beef broth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
