He's close. He's really close. We've had our first success with getting to the potty in time, so hopefully, we're in the home stretch here. I won't hold my breath, but hopefully it wasn't a freak thing. Right now he's napping, and I really didn't want to put him in the diaper he's been asking for. But I also didn't want my bed to get soggy. So there it is.
Anyway, since I'm stuck at home, I thought I would put that time to good use today. Last night for dinner I roasted a whole chicken and today I am using the carcass to make some stock. Stock is a long, slow process (just like potty training). Technically, stock must take between 4 and 6 hours in order for the bones to fully shed their gelatin and good stuff into the stock. A chicken broth, however, is made more quickly, generally in about 2-3 hours. I would give you my method fully here, but I really use Sara Moulton's method, just in this case, I'm using a leftover chicken carcass. You can find her recipe here on Food Network's website. If that link doesn't work for some reason, you can always do a search on FoodTv for chicken stock, and you'll find it. I have posted another method here at this post.
And that's all for today. Abigail has some homework to do, so I must go be read to.

So far so good with the training!
Don't feel bad that you went over your shopping budget -- don't let that discourage you. Just keep at it!
I read your blog so I can tell you are a good cook -- so let your creative juices flow and keep up making meals that use up what you have in stock in you cabinets and fridge.
I really wish it was so far so good with the training. Grrr...
Thank you for the encouragement about my budget. This week I am self-imposing a punishment for going over last week. I think...
