As many of you know, I’ve been working, periodically, on my beautiful Celtic style woolen shawl.
For the past 5 years.
Here’s how it looked recently.
I laid it across the dining room table so you could have some perspective. I didn’t measure it at the time, for reasons unbeknownst to me, but going back, and measuring as the photo indicated, it is approximately 50” in length at the moment.
Not bad for this old girl!
I’ll keep you apprised of my progress as it happens.
Until next time, stay happy, healthy, and safe. Wash, cover, and protect yourselves.
You probably already have a wonderful, flavorful recipe that you use (though you’ve never shared it with me!!). I made a batch last month that I put in the silicon 1c. freezer containers I bought recently, to enjoy at a later date.
I highly recommend these 1c. containers to freeze portions.
Christmas night was that later date. We were both under the weather, and Ivan asked it we had any soup, like chicken soup. I didn’t have any canned soup, except beef, then remembered the frozen yumminess I made earlier.
It was absolutely delicious, I’m here to tell you. Ivan said so too, and that, my dear readers, is quite the accomplishment. (I never add enough salt to anything I cook. I’m learning to be liberal with spices, salt especially.)
Anyway, I had put what I had used prior on my NOOM account, as an added recipe, so I copied it from that, typed it up, and hd chicken sitting on the counter, just waiting to be made into more chicken soup.
Why the “” in the title you ask? Because “noodles” down here are close to nonexistent. and to buy them online is not recommended- they’re too expensive. So, what did I have to substitute, you ask?
Fideo.
Yep. Those tiny, thin strips of vermicelli used to make sopas in any good Mexican household. You gotta use what you have. Right?
It was fabulous. As I said, I have printed my recipe, and will tweak it as I go. If it turns out as good as the first batch, I’ll post it here, sometime. Everyone needs a good chicken soup recipe.
Until next time, stay happy, healthy, and safe. Wash, cover, and protect yourselves.
Post script: happy belated birthday to my favorite sister in law, Mayra.
Post post script: whilst recently looking through some online documents I have saved over the years, I found a copy of the recipe I made for Cream of any Vegetable Soup, and printed it. I showed it to Ivan, and we both got a good chuckle out of it. I wrote it on 9/30/2011. It was delicious. Someday, if you’re interested, I’ll share it with you too.
