Chicken Fat

I skimmed the congealed chicken fat off the stock and saved it in a jar. It smells fabulous. Perhaps I could make a shrine to my ancestors and burn a wick in it! Anyway I am saving it until I get a good idea. Golden schmaltz, heartburn in a jar! I chopped carrots and celery and added wheat berries and barley to the gelatinous soup. I will add the cooked chicken and some corn too when it's heating up at dinner time.

I just mixed oats, and wheat flour, with water, oil, salt, and sugar to roll out for home made crackers. I think my love of clay transferred to dough. I am fearless about dough! As my grandmother would say about a set of ingredients "What could be bad?"
