Really? You prepare a chicken dinner, sit down and enjoy a nice meal,
clear the table, and start making chicken soup while washing up? Not
me. I *do* make stock/broth from leftover chicken, The next day, from
the refrigerated carcass, or maybe weeks later from saved scraps and
bones in the freezer. I never said it wasn't possible to utilize
leftovers; only that refrigeration and freezing made it a whole lot
easier.

Why is this attack necessary? How would you assume that I was
"bothered with a tiny amount of work"? After a good meal, I prefer to
heave leftovers into the fridge, do some minimal clean-up, and join
guests or family for conversation. If your routine is to go back into
the kitchen and construct soup, fine by me.

*I* am amazed at the number of people who go onto a food (or other)
newsgroup to criticize and disparage. I originally posed the
'refrigeration' question thinking it appropriate for food.historic.
And so it has proved. I've read some new ideas (or historic ideas),
revised my thinking a bit, enjoyed reading (most) responses, and still
want to do a happy dance about having a refrigerator/freezer, and not
spending 4-5 hrs a day shopping and cooking and preserving. I've
learned a few things. I don't think I've been rude to anyone, 'though
I have disagreed on some specific points.

If I were entirely satisfied with all meals chez Frogleg, I would not,
indeed, pursue any further information.
