Culinary Adventures with Camilla

After our attempt at sipping bone broth , I decided to cook with my  Organic Bone Broth  from  Pacific Foods * instead. I thought about dishes where the broth is a prominent part...not just an ingredient. The two I came up with: soup and risotto. But, as it is the warmest part of our summer, soup was out. I decided to make a simple risotto. And, wanting the flavor of the bone broth to shine, I didn't use anything else that would really overwhelm the flavors; I opted for a carrot, celery, onion, and pancetta risotto. Easy peasy! Ingredients  makes 8 servings 1 onion, peeled and diced 2 carrots, diced 2 celery stalks, diced 2 T butter splash of olive oil 3 C arborio rice 6 C organic bone broth 2 C boiling water 8 oz marscarpone cream fleur de sel freshly ground pepper Procedure Bring your stock and water to a boil.

For once in my life, I followed the instructions... on my Organic Bone Broth from Pacific Foods * . "Heat, sip, and savor," the carton urged. Okay. Of the four versions they sent me, Jake and I decided that the chicken-ginger combination seemed the most sip-worthy. So, I heated it on the stove and poured small portions into sake cups. The aroma was fantastic. But just sipping it - like tea - was an odd sensation. I'm not sure why. Jake agreed. The flavor was great. However, I think I'll cook with these instead of drinking them.

Opinions stated are 100% accurate and 100% mine.

While we were gone on our 10-day camping trip, I put a hold on our mail. When it resumed this week, I got a glut of envelopes...and this: a box with four samples of organic bone broth from Pacific Foods . Happy, happy mail day. Can you read the note? "We're so excited to have you be one of the first to try our new bone broth!" Me, too. What is it? As always before I write anything, I tried to get a grip on my subject. Bone broth. And I have to say that I'm a little confused about the difference between stock, broth, and bone broth. I posed the question on social media and received a flurry of responses. And, like my own reading, none were definitive...and all, somehow, made logical sense. Argh! "Stock is made with bones only and broth is made with the meat and the bones." Okay. But, then, where would bone broth fit into that?!? And, so after Thanksgiving when I toss the turkey bones and leftover meat in a pot with onions, celery, and herbs...
