Sunny day and making stock

Had a rare sunny day, so jumped on bus out to Skerries, couple of pints in Joe May's, then into Raffs to share chicken wings, fish cakes and baby ribs, 3 good starters, steak on a stone smelt good, so may go back, bus is pretty long, but lovely place on a sunny evening.

Had really lovely grilled salmon darnes with red cabbage coleslaw and a green salad, last night.  May buy a whole salmon tomorrow for a bit of a play.

Doing risotto with chicken on the bone tonight, had no chicken stock in fridge, popped over to JCs, legendary supermarket, they sell chicken carcasses for stock at €1, basically 4 or 5 chick bottoms, obviously they take breasts, wings and legs off, the stock looks excellent, chilled overnight, good thick fat on top, for potatoes, and will use a couple of pints of stock for risotto tonight, have some broad beans from allotment to  go with it and have some good soft chorizo I bought in Madrid a couple of weeks ago.
