Leftover soup or stew is the best. At times I've asked Deb what she'd like for dinner and she counters with, "Do we have any leftovers still?"
...”enchanted the well-worn ladle.” At first I suspected AI auto-correct had struck again. After a search, however, I realized the usage had merit. And if anyone could enchant a ladle, Thalia would be the one!
Rousseau’s remark captures today’s message to a “T.”
I chuckled at your proffered tomato soup recipe. 🤣 Okay; guffawed. I was reminded of the recent expansion of food labeling requirements. “Lobster bisque: contains lobsters. Milk: contains milk. Peanut butter: contains peanuts.” Let’s not forget elephant dung coffee beans! “Does not contain elephants.”
Sorry Cal if I trampled your sensibilities. 😔 I seem to suffer from the same blurt-it-out syndrome as Tal on certain days. 😬
I started to suggest lobster bisque as a tomato soup alternative. Well, there’s the business of shellfish allergies for one thing. Second, the recipe from “Serious Eats” jumps right in with the instructions for killing the four poor live lobsters you just carted home from Maine! Oops, I meant the seafood market. Let’s scratch that ill conceived idea!
Whatever you finally ladle out of your stock pot, may it warm your insides and free your feet. Boot scooting. Snowshoeing. Cart wheeling. Snowman building!
“Enchanted” popped up when I did a synonym search on another verb. I liked it… and yes! Thalia is the muse who could pull it off! 😂
I started receiving emails from Ali’s kitchen a few months ago. She also offered up an amazing pound cake recipe that I bit on. So good with the thawed strawberries from my June picking.
I made the tomato soup on Monday and it melded in the fridge until Thursday. Quite good! I’ll make it again.
I’m one to try new recipes so tomato soup is on my to do list! Last night’s fare was “French Onion Meatloaf.” 28 minutes just for the caramelized onions, not including the paper thin slicing! A number of menu substitutions to accommodate either pantry or taste. Dinner at 8 used to be stylish. Hungry wife may have disagreed! And it was scrumptious, along with mashed potatoes, gravy and broccoli. Dutch crumb apple pie for dessert. From our grocery store.

Last night we had home-made "hash" made with fried potatoes and leftover (frozen, then thawed) prime-rib from our Covid Christmas dinner. So good!
Can you even imagine eating a frozen chicken nugget?

Some eat to live; some live to eat...
Eating is pretty high on my list of LIFE'S joys.
We've had a wonderful week of "fresh and home-made" meals that were prepared in advance...
nothing like getting to trade dinner prep time for creation time at studio's table.
