Taking Stock of Making Stock

Mijoter: Faire cuire ou bouillir lentement.

Recipe

I’m the one working the kitchen, making stock
from chicken wing tips I’d saved in the freezer,
some bouillon cubes, the picked-over carcass

of last Sunday’s dinner. A gallon of spring water

[…]

I’m the one simmering, steaming, ladling soup

over wild rice in your finest kiln-fired crockery,
Chef de Cuisine of intense flavour, of this oh so
nice homemade & homely midday decadence.

Mijoter: Mûrir, préparer avec réflexion et discrétion (une affaire, un mauvais coup, une plaisanterie).

And so for day 2146
