Cleaning the trotters was super easy, just followed Kenji's directions and had no problems. The chicken carcasses were trickier because it was much more difficult what I was supposed to keep and what I was supposed to lose. After trimming the skin and excess fat, then boiling, I started picking at them with a chopstick. Ultimately I found that gravity was really helpful: while picking away under cold running water, some stuff would reveal its tendency to fall off, and by simply rotating the cut the same thing would happen again.
Everything's in the fridge now and ready for tomorrow morning. Also forgot to mention that I couldn't find fat back, but it seems like pork belly is a common substitute in that scenario, so that's what I'll be using.
Did you give your kid away or something?

wife and she are upstairs. She was riding shotgun on the counter in her little bouncy chair thing for a while, but then she took a humongous dump just as my water was starting to roll so I had to bring her upstairs.

But what’s your time worth?
Kidding. I wish I could do something like this. I get like 12 minutes here and there to peck away at cleaning the garage. Send me the recipe in like 6 years.

I mean, I still could have done with a post that read "guys, I just tried making ramen for the first time and it turned out great. Here are some pics. Also, not really because I didn't make the noodles but it still counts".
