Homemade Chicken Soup..... L.o.v.e.

Dinner
 

Hi,

I had a quick dinner with turkey and jalapenos stuffed with cheese.

Yummy!

I roasted a turkey last night, so I am having turkey, broccoli and wild rice with shredded carrots.

Just made a pot of golden lentil soup (vegetable broth, veggie stock, carrots, onions, garlic, onions, spices -including tumeric, cumin, cardamom-and lentils).

We had lunch at a restaurant yesterday that had awesome golden lentil.

Had to try it. Still simmering. It smells great and hopefully it will be good.

:chef:

I roasted a pan full of vegetables (sweet potatoes, parsnips, carrots, vidalia onions, and broccoli) and broiled a steak. My neighbors helped me drink some shiraz-cabernet while I ate. It was delicious!

Had leftovers from last night's dinner- scallops and bacon, and spicy green beans and pork. Every bit as good two nights in a row.

I also just baked a damn tasty loaf of white hard crust bread. It's so much better by hand… I may be retiring my bread machine after this.

Nuked a frozen Healthy Choice meal. It was classic meatloaf , mashed potatos, corn and apple pie. Very good but only 12 ounces. Needed to be 24. Went back to freezer, found a Lean Cuisine french bread style pizza. Waiting for it to cool as I type.

I used to eat these frozen dinners all the time and fell out of the habit. I am not dieting but they are better for me than some things I have been eating lately ... plus they taste so good. The only bad thing is it takes 2 of them to feed me. Eating only one just pisses me off.

I forgot to eat dinner.

Acme Batard (a very sour bread,) French Toast and Applewood Bacon, organic orange juice (freshly squeezed,) and maple syrup of course!

Craving fried chicken. :|

Maybe i could oven fry a batch.

...something with melty cheese. that's all I know right now. it's just that kind of day.



side note/somewhat useful fact:

In Australia cheddar cheese is commonly called 'tasty cheese' -

tasty as a proper noun, not an adjective.

This can be somewhat befuddling if you don't know this fact and you order a grilled cheese sandwich and the waitress says: "Tasty Cheese?" and you say: "ummm...yeah, please, i'll have the tasty cheese" (all the while wondering 'who on earth would want the un-tasty cheese?'). :|

Tonight is beef tips over rice with fresh hot bread right out of the oven,I made some honey butter to go with it.

ham, mashed potatoes, and broccoli

Pork chop and spring salad with ranch dressing. No dessert since there's no sweet influence round here :)

Going for Mexican with my mom and brother....celebrating my mum's 60th birthday!

I will likely get the lovely cilantro sauced chicken....or get something else and ask for that sauce on the side...it's like crack...in a good way...

Great cook with patience
