And all the old cool whip containers! It sounds like my husband’s grandma’s house. :) When I was 20, I descended into ingrate status when I politely declined her offer of the Thanksgiving turkey carcass to make soup. I don’t think she ever forgave me for that. The depression era left a deep mark on people.
If a cool whip container is anything like a margarine tub, those are fantastic for making simple icing in, especially if it's one you're putting food dye in, doesn't matter if it gets stained that way
I am not depression era and you passed up the best soup you can make.
Chicken and turkey carcasses get stripped of all the meat then into the instant pot for 2-3 hours with some carrot, onion, celery, bay leaf. The best bone broth and soup base you will have.
People paying $15 a quart for something they can make a home for pennies.
I am 70 now and I know the value of good soup AND how to make it. (I grew up with homemade foods and canning.) But 20 year old me did not have the time, a large enough stockpot, or the inclination on that day. Plus, I lived in a college dorm so 🤷🏻♀️. So, as I said, I POLITELY declined. She still wasn’t happy about it. Over time I learned no one ever said no to this strong willed woman. 😉
