Making more broth. I think I’ve already screwed up by adding boiled water from the kettle to get it cooking faster, it won’t be nice and clear. I know I should have started with cold. But with practice results will improve.

I might put the cooked beef chunks in the blender at the end to make them easier to eat (and to mix into the proper cat food).
