Hi,

I liked the rubber chicken blog! I do the same thing myself.

I do something similar with roast beef. The first dinner is the roast. The next is stew, hot roast beef sandwiches or a salad. The last is soup. I also freeze steak bones for broth. I cook the steak, then freeze the bones and leftover meat for soup.

When I make boiled corned beef, cabbage and potatoes, I save the broth to use in split pea or bean soup. The leftover beef becomes hash, barbeque or Reuben sandwiches.

When I get frozen chicken TV dinners and frozen fried chicken, I make soup from the bones.

I also make soup out of pork and lamb bones and left over Chinese food. I order the lunch or dinner special from an excellent Chinese restaurant. The portions are large - enough for four meals. I eat what I can and save the egg roll for another meal. I heat up the dinner leftovers. What I don't eat, I make soup.

Regards,

Jill
