One of the few good things about the good old days was the number of butchers around instead of mega peat packing houses where critters go in at one end and their boneless bits come out the other, wrapped in cling wrap and chilled down to one degree above freezing.

If you said the bones were for a dog, they were free. If they were for soup, they were dirt cheap. I learned that one fast and always had a fantasy dog.

Would be good if I/we were planning to serve a Honeybaked/Spiral cut ham WITH bone, would make for lots of meals AND soup, but not in my plans at the moment. Maybe daughter will want to do such 'soon.'

so maybe someone near and dear with cook roast beast with some sort of bone in it.

i add the raw veg to soup + microwave for 3min + crunchy salad in my soup.

Gotta check marjoram.

except broc + cauliflour, but not mushy. have to be steamed w/ browned butter.

potatoes i want cooked tho.

I would double, skip the allspice and grate the carrots
