Then... there is this guy with the crooked nose and NEEDS plastic surgery! He certainly can afford Hollywood's finest surgeons!
 
 
 
Looks like a little romance was going on up in my pasture yesterday...



also............. the turkeys were out and about.....

 
Dinner was the leftover salad and I made some "hmmm...what's in the fridge biscuits". Using refrigerated Grands and some bacon crumbles, mozzarella cheese, 3 cheese blend, some garlic, and mayonnaise. Roll out the rolls, spread on mayo, add the bacon/cheese/& garlic, roll up pinching all seams, bake in 350ยบ for about 19 minutes. 








YUMMMMMMM!!!!!
 
So, while watching TV in front of a snuggy fire

I LOVE Leek and Potato Soup. It's traditionally served very cold, but I like mine hot! This is the recipe Jerry and I used forever...

It's in the "joy OF COOKING". My book was given to me in 1964 and has many many pages in it that have that particular recipe ingredients all over them!

 In my opinion, the BEST cookbook there is!

Mince the white part of 3 medium leeks and 1 medium onion.
Stir and sautรฉ them for 3 minutes in 2 T. butter.

Peel and slice very fine and add 4 medium potatoes (I like Yukon Gold) and 4 cups chicken stock. Simmer covered for 15 minutes, or until tender. Put them through a blender in small batches. Add 1-2 cups of heavy cream or half & half (use fat free if that works for you), salt and white pepper (or black) and stir in some snipped fresh chives (or scallions). I heat mine though or put in refrigerator to chill. A good addition is chopped crispy fried bacon.
