Late into the cafe today–shocked to hear of Debbie Reynolds passing, just a day after her daughter! Wow, how does that happen?
I love soup too, and have never made pepper pot though. I love broth soups the best, but would not turn away a good, creamy clam chowder!!
JJ, you made me smile with the story of your dad. My parents seem to crop up at the strangest times, but that way they know that I’ll know it’s them!
ECB, so glad to hear that you made an offer on a house! How exciting!! I hope it’s all you want it to be and there are no hidden surprises in the inspections. I love old houses the best!
KJ, it’s good you can stay in where it’s warm and dry, with your Dorry, and you can get your boots and tights dried out in time for your next trip! ๐
Lagatta, your soup sounds so good. The best ones are made with a good stock like you made, and it’s amazing how many meals you can make with one chicken! I think I know this because I was taught to cook by 2 grandmothers who had endured the Great Depression and my mother who knew how to be frugal too. I almost had a heart attack long ago when my mother in law (who had cooked a ham for a holiday) was ready to throw the whole bone with meat attached out to the dogs after a meal. GASP! All I could think of was split pea soup with that bone! She was never one to make soup that I know of.
JK, I love that Brutie gets to hang out with your work gang each week, and sometimes in between. Maybe slip him a pizza crust under the table….. ๐
AV, you have really been busy with children and guests for the holidays. How fun, but so great that you live where you do next to the ocean and all that seafood! The ocean itself makes for the best way to entertain guests!
