After losing about six stone, I changed scales and gained 2lbs. I took about a month to accept that, and constantly knocked the 2lbs off mentally, but ended up raising my start weight by 2lbs!

This morning on my new scales, I weigh 100g more than on my "old" scales... so I shall weigh on both! haaaa! for a while!

 

[jaqys]

My old scales weigh be 7-12lbs lighter depending on their mood.
I've hidden them now.

 

[Bubblemum]

My friends scales weigh half a stone heavy, I never go on hers anymore, it gave me such a fright

 

[alottolose]

I tested mine by stepping on the ones at the local GP's surgery... I weighed roughly the same if you included the breakfast I'd eaten and the clothes/shoes I was wearing - normally get weighed in the buff

[SIZE=+1] Basic Chicken Stock [/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1] [SIZE=-1] 4 lbs. bony chicken pieces (backs, necks, and wings) (brown carcass in oven for extra flavour)
3 carrots cut up
1 large onion
1 sm. cabbage, cut up
2 celery stalks with leaves chopped up
1 large tomatoe cored and chopped
8 whole black peppercorns
4 sprigs of parsley
1 bay dried leaf (or fresh)
2 tsp. salt (maybe 1/2 or omit to be dukan ultra friendly)
2 tsp. dried thyme, crushed (or fresh finely chopped)
1 clove of garlic halved
12 cups water
1 egg (optional for clarifing)

[/SIZE][/SIZE]​

[SIZE=+1][SIZE=-1] In a 10 quart pot, place chicken pieces, carrot, and onion with a tbs. of olive oil. Simmer for 30 min. until well browned. Drain off fat, and then add 1/2 c. of water and scrape down browned bits.
Add cabbage,celery,tomatoes,peppercorns,parsley,bay leaf,salt,thyme,garlic, and water. Bring to boil and then simmer for at least 5 hrs.

Strain stock through a sieve, discard meat, vegetables and seasonings. [/SIZE][/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1][SIZE=-1] If You want to clarify the stock: To clarify, seperate egg, crushing the shell and reserving it. Stir together 1/4 c. cold wate, the egt white and the crushed eggshell. Add this to the stock, bring to boiling and remove from heat.

Let the stock stand for at least 5 min. Strain clarified stock through sieve.

[/SIZE][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1][SIZE=-1] If using stock right away skim of any fat with slotted spoon, or put stock in fridge to chill and then remove the fat.

You can keep the stock in fridge for 3 days or better freeze it in ice cube trays and then put in freezer bags for future use for many recipes especially when doing chicken.

Will keep in freezer for 6 months. [/SIZE][/SIZE]

fabulous recipe but what a palaver!!!! haaaaa!

I'm always finding "bits" of stock cubes... you know when you break a piece off for a dish - cos I too always find them too salty, even the fat free ones over here - and carefully wrap the remaining piece in its wrapper and/or tin foil... and then they VANISH... only to reappear with four friends when you don't need them... and of course by then you've not a clue which flavour they are!
