Rosie Finishes Her Veal Stock After Three Days Of Simmering - The Stock, Not Rosie.

I was planting some seeds this morning and this little fellow jumped out of one of my pots.
Isn't he cute? Now, back to the veal stock.
Remember Day 2 of the Great Veal Stock Caper? On the left is veal stock #1. On the right is veal stock #2 which is the remouillage, the remoistening, or second extraction from the bones.
I poured veal stock #2 into veal stock #1. And today, Day 3 of the Great Veal Stock Caper, I brought veal stocks 1 and 2 to a simmer and simmered for 6-8 hours.
Ta-daaaaa! Just under 3/4 cup of syrupy, rich, intense veal stock. Not to mention thick and delicious. I can't wait until I get my real veal bones. Then I'll start all over and see what I end up with. Now can someone tell me what the hell I do with this stuff? Carol? Anybody?
Ooooh. Look at Rosie in the veal stock.

I was going to ask you what you were going to do with the stock! Nevertheless, it looks awesome, and I admire your persistence.

And the frog...I would have run screaming. I am a woosie that way.

Glad the storm did not do too much damage. I actually thought of you with all the reports. You're the only one I know who actually lives and not just vacations in the Outer Banks.

Enjoying your blog girl.
