Hello once again. I am a little behind with my reading of the FML but I couldn't help but respond to the Bob Church's recipe question. This is how I do up our fuzzies soup recipe. We buy chicken legs with the backs attached (when the price is low) and freeze them. When we want chicken for supper (actually, it is do I need chicken soup for the ferrets that dictate when and how much chicken we eat) we boil 3 pieces until cooked, in purified or distilled water (don't need comments on how good or bad these methods of water purification may be - I am just stating what I do). I don't put a sauce or anything on it until the meat is off of the bones. I keep all of the bones, skin, fat, and scraps in a separate container, as well as the juice that is left from cooking the chicken. A few days later we repeat the process, using the same liquid and a few days later, we do it again. Now I take all of the scraps and liquid, add more water if necessary and boil for about 1 hr. I have an osterizer and fill the glass container 2/3 full of bone, scraps and liquid, plus any other ingredients that I want to include, like softened kibble, linatone, etc. and start on a very low speed and gradually work my way up to top speed. When I figure is has blended enough, I pour it through a metal sieve into a large bowl. I repeat this process until all is blended. What is left in the sieve is very small pieces of bone but I throw that away once I have squeezed out all of the nice thick soup with a spoon. I stir it all up and pour it in small containers and freeze it. Because we have 9 ferrets and feed them either once or twice a day (sick ones get lots, twice a day and maybe more if necessary) we forgo the ice cube trays and use larger containers. We go through a lot of chicken but they love it and it is a good way to hide the medicine. It is also very thick so I thin it down for the ones that get it as a treat and keep it thick for the sick ones. I can still suck it up in a syringe too. Well, that's it folks. That is how I do it and I found that this works best for me. Take care. Tryntje Miller. [Posted in FML issue 2621]
