Making Chicken Stock

Finally, it's getting cold around here. Even though mosquitoes still keep bothering me every night, it’s definitely getting more and more like winter. (I’m still surviving without Kotatsu or air-conditioner, though.) Now my ambition is making nice and warm cabbage roll ASA I find a cabbage that’s not too expensive. I guess the worst time is already over, but still vegetables are so expensive in Japan (because of the typhoons we had this year). Anyway, for the future “cabbage-roll dinner night,” I made chicken stock today and froze it. Whenever I make chicken stock, the fragrance of herbs from the pot fills my small apartment rooms and makes me feel so relaxed. It’s pretty therapeutic, isn’t it?
