Pro-tip: When making complicated stocks, a lot of the punchier flavours and aromatics are oil soluble - things like garlic, chili, lemongrass and galangal. When you skim the stock to remove impurities, make sure you leave the oil. In your soup, those floating oil swirls will pack a flavour punch.

I love how dogs have their own unique personalities. I've had Catahoula crosses for a long time. My old girl was "This is what we're going to do in my realm today". My older boy is "What will we police in the realm today?". And my new girl is... "Wheeeeeeeeeeee!"
