I drooled. It made me drool. I turned it off.

It cooled. I strained out all the chicken bones, fat, gristle, skin, meat, onions, etc. I put the strained broth on the stove with carrots, potatoes, onion, and chicken. Then I was faced with a bowl full of uncrumbly Chicken Etc.

So I put it back in the crockpot with new water and turned it back on.

What? It wasn't done yet.

*join us tomorrow when Our Heroine undergoes therapy after ODing on chicken soup*

OMG this made me laugh!

Cath I hope that you are writing a book because you have such a charming way with words. Perhaps you and Ursy can collaborate on something..a screenplay maybe?

The world needs more laughter, I truly believe that this is the answer to everything.

As someone who LOVES a good stock and has been known to consume a good chicken soup for a week straight, (it was that good) I can empathize!

Today I am working with a pastry chef that makes macarons that look like these. Wow. Amazing work.

I love the look of macarons! I wish I could try them, but I have developed an almond allergy. It's very sad

I have a picture of my own to share...
Tomatoes! They are growing so fast, they're bigger than m&ms now

I couldn't figure out how to upload a photo to the gallery, it's been so long. So I put it in my Evernote.

Ooooh - duh. I think I found my photo gallery. Oh well, never mind.

Wow your baby tomato's are so cute and so small : ) Awesome. They look as though they may be growing outward like the Brandywine but then again I have no idea. Just a guess. If you click on the little icon that is yellow at the top bar, you can insert a link to a photo that is hosted on another website.

You have an almond allergy? That is awful news. The macarons are so chewy and fun, maybe there is a way to make them minus the almond powder. Let me research this and get back to you.

I have never had a macaron -- at least nothing like those colourful ones. I've eaten coconut ones, but I don't think they are the same.

Has anyone tried this --- >

I use it in my protein shakes and such, but was wondering about any recipes.

Hey ahk, The coconut macaroon is an English creation and the macaron that I posted is a traditional French confection so they are very different. The French version is crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. They are insanely good. Some of the flavors are a bit unusual for those of us who did not grow up eating things like lavender, but well worth a try.

No I have not tried the peanut butter powder but I bet you could mix it into most any baked goods including cooking dough.

I'll have to try them, the next time I eat here. Thank you for explaining them to me.

Well its that time-- I gotta go study now.

Everyone have a good night-- see ya tomorrow.

I experimented in cooking with lavender, it was fun! Same with rose water. Rose panna cotta is to die for.
