Welcome to The Endive Chronicles. Angela, We think alike. I am using some newly made chicken stock tonight for a pot of risotto. With the chill in the air, it just seems the thing to do. Griffin, How in the world did you manage that? I think you should give it another try, only be sure to use gentle heat. No, the mafia tends to hide the bones. Freezing or roasting them for stock may raise a few eyebrows.

Which leads me to think that among the things I should never do (whistling in Lithuanian, Snogging a Hedgehog, juggling scorpions, sticking a live lobster down a bishop's trousers) making stock is one of them. Roasting bones?! Isn't that something the Mafia do?! Er… the two times I tried making stock I almost burned the bottom of the saucepan!

Coincidentally I'm about to make some stock with the partridge carcasses left over from last night's dinner. I think it'll end up being used in risotto later this week...

Often I'm lazy about my stock, just simmering up the carcass (bones left from a dinner) of something or other and tossing in a bay leaf and some peppercorns and salt. I need to think more of the end result, the final outcome of that stock. Yours is a freeing and creative attitude.

Only a few more months before you can ham it up again! Leslie, My grandmother used to use that method with gravy, reducing it down further before adding in the ice so as not to dilute it.
