Yeah....another week of rain each day here after

One other old question you asked about "vegetable stock".
I have made it just to use up things but I'll always toss
in just one chicken thigh. That flavors the veg broth
just enough to use for about anything.

Your choice of vegetables will dictate the final taste.
My last batch of that wasn't "all that" but I still used
it up. At least I knew I was eating all healthy ingredients
