Good 45º dark and cloudy morning. Yesterday we got 1/2" of
rain and temps stayed about 55º all day. Looking for the same
today....
Breakfast yesterday was leftover rice, two eggs, and artichoke
bottoms. First rice went into ceramic dish, two eggs cracked on top (pierce yoke
with sharp knife), top with parmesan cheese, add in yokes and salt with garlic
salt. Put ceramic saucer on top, microwave 2 minutes 30 seconds. Perfect!!!

Here is one of my favorite recipes...
made it numerous
times...
Five Onion
Soup
1/4 cup butter
1 leek chopped, white part
only
1 yellow onion chopped
1 red onion chopped
2 shallots chopped
2 celery stalks chopped
1 garlic clove chopped
1/2 cup dry sherry
4 cups chicken stock
1 (12 oz) russet potato, peeled, cut
into 1" pieces
croutons
Melt the butter in heavy Dutch oven
over medium heat. Add next 7 ingredients and sauté until translucent (6-10
minutes). Add sherry, simmer until liquid evaporates (about 3 minutes). Add 4
cups chicken stock and potato. Simmer 20 minutes, until potato is very tender.
Lightly pureé soup in blender or food processor in small batches. Season with
salt and pepper. Bring back to simmer. Thin with more stock if desired. Serve
with croutons.
If you like you can heat the broiler
and take some small crusty toasted bread slices, top with cheese, broil until
cheese melts and top each soup bowl with on.

World Pasta Day
3 comments:
Good morning. I generally don't serve pasta two days in a row- but being World Pasta Day- perhaps I should observe.
Thank you for sharing your vacation. It made me think back to the macadamia nut tree next door growing up. The shells are quite hard- to break open our neighbors used to spread on driveway between two sheets of plywood- and run over them.
Helen Reddy was still "new" when I was in high school. She was the featured talent when the band played at Magic Mountain- what an incredible voice. God's gift to her was pretty clear.
If you have any glass cooking lids hanging around- those are also good for covering food in microwave. I prefer these to saucers because I like to "see" what is going on in there.
Have a GREAT day.
Enjoyed your Smile Box as usual. Looks like you all had a wonderful time. Did you room with Jen's mom?
I think Picasso was on drugs when he painted. Weird to say the least and I can't understand for the life of me why they are so valuable!
Leo G. Carroll "Host to said ghosts"! One of my favorite all times shows.
My little boys used to love my tape of Helen Reddy while driving home from visiting grandma in San Diego. It's because she was in Pete's Dragon. :)
Oh man, don't get me started on Serpent Head! A Martian and oh so in the tank for the corrupt Clintons!
Tracy nelson sure didn't get her father or mother's good looks. I always thought she was rather plain. Her brothers are handsome tho.
XO Trisha
L, my Dad had a macademia nut tree he planted in the front yard. They have to be watched carefully when it's frosty in So. Cal and he'd get up and hose the tree down in the middle of the night. Then when we'd pick the nuts they'd go in the oven to toast and harden the shell. Next we'd take them to Daddy's shop and put them in the vice and crank the handle to crack them open. Yes, L, pasta day... can't pass that one up!!! xo
Hi T, yes Jean and I shared a room. Both grandmas!! Actually I think Tracy Nelson looks like her mom.
As for Picasso, he was a revolutionist artist and experimented. I love his paintings! xo
