Story Inspiration Sunday
I am not much of a cook: I do much more assembly, when it comes to meals, as opposed to actual cooking.
Though that actually depends on your definition of cooking.
For example, I do make my own chicken broth. I save bones in the freezer, and when I get enough, I throw them into a pot with a bottle of the cheapest white wine I can find, along with some vinegar and water. I cook it for hours, letting it simmer and reduce. When it cools, it will have a gelatinous layer–all the calcium cooked out of the bones. I freeze the broth, and use it for crockpot stews. It’s also my beverage of choice if I have a bad cold.
Contrast that with my dinners. I cook all the meat for the week on the weekend, then I just reheat with veggies or salad. Assembly, not cooking.
But I was thinking about how food inspires writers and other creative types.
