Is It Stock or Broth? What's the Difference?

For someone who is not an expert in the kitchen, I cannot tell you the difference between stock and broth, because to me, they refer to the same thing. However, there is a difference between stock and broth, and you may want to throw in bone broth and bouillon into that mix as well. From Zoe Denenberg and the editors of Epicurious, they give us a short rundown of the nuances between the two.

The main difference is simply the amount of time it takes for the liquid to simmer. Broth usually takes a relatively shorter time to simmer, from around 45 minutes to 2 hours, meanwhile stock takes 4 to 6 hours to simmer. What this does for the stock is that it allows the flavors to be fully brought out, and the longer simmer time also adds to the consistency of the mix. Apart from these two, they also elucidate the peculiarities of bone broth, bouillon, and even vegetable broth. To learn more, check out their article here.

It's funny, cause I enjoyed ALL of Star Wars movies to absolute full extent, maybe it was because I watched it when having an own opinion didn't mean anything to me yet, so I didn't look for ways to individualize myself and I could just enjoy things in a chillike way? I don't know :D

On the nose! I remember reading a Time magazine review of StarWars when it came out. One of the things noted by the reviewer was that things had dings and scratches. It was a 'well-worn' universe.

The frontier aspect was also important. There are planets run essentially by criminal cartels, like Tatooine, because the Empire was unraveling at the seams. Such uncontrolled areas are the breeding ground for revolution.

Make a movie or sell toys? Post-cinema marketing is everything today, and so characters and extras are made to be easily translated into a line of action figures. The movie becomes a vehicle for selling stuff to kids, and is diminished. It is a gigantic product placement.
It also works this way for making money, so it's not likely to end.
