A certain someone has a birthday tomorrow so I am making one of her favorite dishes -- borshch (aka borscht).
I was making stock from soup bones (already a derivation from the recipe) when I had an idea. I am going to make several freezer bag portions that can be just thrown in the crockpot when needed.
The first thing I did is make stock. I threw about 6 soup bones in with a lot of water and added carrots, onions, celery, garlic, wine, tomato juice, salt, and pepper.
Then I separately chopped portions of cabbage, beets, and beef, and put them equally in three freezer bags. When the broth is cool I will divide it into thirds and add it to the freezer bags. I'll freeze two of them and we'll have the other for dinner tomorrow night.
I'd like to say happy birthday to my darling wife, who gets sweeter as she gets riper. (That's because the complex sugar are breaking down in to simpler, tastier ones.) I love you Nikki.
