  • To turn your stock into gravy, just add flour (about as much as the fat layer on top), whisk until smooth, then bring to a boil, then turn off. Did this with the chicken stock from yesterday. Turned out delicious.
    • Didn't add any fat, there's enough in the poultry remains.
    • This is effectively just smoked carcass, water, and flour (+ any vegetables/spices you add to make the stock).
    • The bones yield more marrow and flavor once cooked, plus you get some smokiness.
  • Don't wash raw chicken. The water splash can carry bacteria a few feet, all over surfaces and utensils and you!
  • Taxes/crypto
    • Coinbase account recovery completed, so I was able to get that transaction history.
    • Started the account recovery process for Binance, because I still need those transactions.
    • Created an account with cointracker.io. Linked Coinbase and Coinbase Pro (formerly Gdax). Once I get access to my Binance account again, I can link it to get the final numbers.
  • Watched Wayne's World for the first time. I don't get it. The movie was terrible.
  • Some of my favorite bands are all British: Beatles, Zeppelin, Queen, Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Coldplay, David Bowie, Iron Maiden, The Who, Black Sabbath, Oasis!
  • Reactivated amazon fresh.
    • 8 organic vine tomatoes, 2 organic banana bunches, 8 heads of organic kale, 1lb greek yogurt, 1 jar peanut butter.
    • $44 at Vons, $38 on Fresh.
    • This is one week, so 4 orders per month. Fresh costs $15/month, so add $4 to each order. Still cheaper.
    • And I don't have to ride the motorcycle to the store. Will order next week!
