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.
