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!!!!!

November 18th
National Vichyssoise Day
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.
