[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe you could re-define waste for yourself, OP. You need to learn to cook with leftovers. So, if you make chicken for dinner tonight, you roast 3 chickens. Really. 3. Tonight you serve the three chickens with a 5 lb bag of potatoes, cut up and roasted in the oven with olive oil and salt and 2 heads of broccoli.

There will be chicken left, either just the bones or meat on the bones. Tomorrow night is chicken stew. Pick all the meat off the three carcasses and set aside, then simmer the carcasses for 3 hours in water to make broth. Make stew with the broth, adding veggies and the leftover meat from tonight. Either make a huge pan of biscuits or make dumplings to go with the stew.

Was there broccoli and potatoes left over? Good. They go into omelettes for breakfast or lunch the next day.

Poof - no waste, even though they didn't eat everything you made for dinner. There are books about cooking this way if you are interested. Making enough food that there are bits and pieces left over does NOT mean you waste food!  [/quote]

I made chicken stew and some posters told me it wasn't good enough. It was chicken, seasoning, veggies and garlic. [/quote]

See now OP, you are just trying to stir the pot. You said before it was soup, not stew, that you tried to feed them and they rebelled. This PP is telling you to make stew with veggies, alongside of a big pan of biscuits or dumplings. You must be a troll because you can't be this deliberately obtuse. On the other hand, I must be a fool to keep participating in this train wreck. On the off chance you are for real, please don't starve your family any longer.[/quote]
