As usual, the measurements are approximate. This will probably be two meals-- more rice will be added for the second meal.

1 quart of chicken stock from the store (ok, this measurement is exact)
bones of one smallish cooked chicken, in a soup sock*
a little chicken fat that came with the chicken giblets
about a cup and a half of big chopped carrots
about a quarter cup of olive oil
enough water so the liquid covers the ingredients
salt, fresh ground black pepper, mild fajita spices, a *small* sprinkle* of ghost pepper (very hot pepper)
maybe a tablespoon of fresh dill
half a cup of cooked brown rice

I piled everything but the dill and rice in a pot, and cooked it as a medium boil for an hour or so. The carrots were cooked but still had flavor. Then I put in the dill and kept boiling it for about ten minutes.

I added the rice out of the refrigerator because I wanted to cool the soup enough so that I could eat it sooner rather than later.

This turned out to be a big win-- better than a lot of the food I get from restaurants.

*soup socks are large mesh bags-- if you're putting pointy herbs and/or meat with small bones in your soup, a soup sock makes it easy to take out the disposable bits

A philosopher distinguishes between cathartic violence, tactical violence, and looting.

He's talking about violence associated with demonstrations, but I'm thinking about the tactical/cathartic distinction for police. I've seen people defend police for using violence against disrespectful people, and the arguments seem to be more along the lines of "it's unreasonable to expect the police to just endure insults" rather than "insulting the police is an offense against public order".
