It’s all approximation and taste, really. I don’t know exactly what I’m going to do tomorrow when I put the soup together, but I have a new paprika I’m dying to try so that will go in.

You can add bay leaves, peppercorns, and other herbs/spices to the broth when the soup is cooking. You can also add 1/4 cup of dry white wine to deglaze the pan. At the end, garnish with whatever you want.

Once the vegetables are getting soft, add whatever spices you want. Then add leftover turkey torn up into bite size pieces. Let that come together. At that point add the broth, salt and pepper, and a cup of washed barley. Then let it go.

Take out the bones and whatever else you can get. Strain the broth through a sieve or cloth, you can do this a few times if you want.

For the soup, chop/dice carrots, celery, onion, and garlic. Heat up olive oil in the soup put, add the garlic and cook, then add other vegetables.

No recipe. Just take the carcass, put it in a large pot, fill the pot with water, cover, bring to a boil, lower to a simmer. Watch it for a few hours. If the water evaporates too quickly, add more water. When the carcass is falling apart and the stock tastes good, turn off the heat and let it rest

And when it does not work out, it is disheartening

If you don’t like this translation, try Fagles or Wilson. My personal fave is Lattimore, but that it because I am extra af.

Ooooh, which translation of the Iliad? (Spoiler alert, the Iliad is one of my favorite works of art of all time).

I’m sorry. I understand. It’s exhausting trying to make connections.

Also, there are also the less common but still awesome fics that have a female alpha and a male omega, or some atypical pairing, which also plays with concepts of gender and power in very exciting ways! Like, the whole genre is about that!
