THE END

Okay, so maybe this was a SLIGHTLY exxagerated version of Thanksgiving
dinner tonight, but I did put the giant turkey drumstick in a freezer
bag and then onto the ground in front of Mischief, who sniffed and
flicked her ears saying "WTF??"

And for you food connisseurs or however you spell it, I wasn't boiling
a turkey leg.  Okay I was, but NOT just to  cook the turkey.  I was
making a Chinese dish called Jook.

My mom used to make Jook a lot when i was growing up and it's quite
tasty.  Usually it's made with chicken, but turkey works just as well.

Take one turkey drumstick or 4 chicken drumsticks (you can use chicken
breast, but I think the legs taste better and the breast tastes dry.

Boil legs in a half a big pot of water.  (I normally don't measure,
after years of making this in college I learned to eyeball it.  I
would say at least 4 cups)  You can also put it on simmer, the slower
the cook flavor seems slightly better.

The chicken/turkey should be cooked well enough so the meat either
falls off or is easily separated from the bones.  Then you do the
delicate process of straining out the bones.  When i first started
this is college I would forget this step and I would end up spitting
out bones.  Ironically you still might miss a few

 Add 2 and 1/3 cups of rice.  Again you can eyeball it.  For some
reason the cup that my mom used to measure rice was equivlent to about
2/3 of a real cup.  It makes no sense, but that's what I remember.  So
the three 'cups' I grew up with is about 2 and 2/3 'regular' cups

Add two-three cubes of chicken bouillion (sp) (I've varied on number
on cubes sometimes more) and simmer/boil depending on your
preference.  You want to cook it until the rice falls apart.  If
necessary you can add some more water but do NOT add more rice unless
the rice is cooked.  If there is too much water just boil it off while
stirring.  When it's nice and thick, remove from heat.

Season with sait to taste and enjoy.  It will be QUITE hot.

If it was too hot my mom used to serve it with an ice cube.  YUM!  Oh
also you can freeze this.  I usually will make a large potfull and
freeze a third of if.  Great for those days when you're broke and the
pantry/fridge is empty.

Oh and my cats LOVE slurping this up too.  I've caught Mischief
sneaking a bite while I'm away.

Happy Thanksgiving to all
