Garbage Stew

Tuesday August 5

Last Thursday's Mennonite chicken left its wings, thighs, and especially carcass over for tasty garbage stew. We were packing for our imminent departure, so it was easy to break up the carcass, add some onions, parsley, and seasonings, and simmer it in our usual fashion.
The only difference was that we made the broth, picked the bones, and cooked up the stew all on the same night. Our vegetables were golden ball turnips (left over from the original Simon and Garfunkel roast chicken), carrots, celery, and more onions. So less like a chicken pot pie and more like a very hearty soup or stew. Which we needed, because we were getting up early and scooting off to Canada the next morning.
