Good 41º drizzly cloudy morning.
I was asked about the homemade soup from yesterday... Crockpot, large
carton chicken stock, dried mushrooms (or use fresh sliced), golden mushroom
soup, sliced garlic (I use dried from Costco), Tabouli (or use orzo, rice,
couscous, quinoa), whole wheat rigatoni (I only like the whole wheat pasta in
soup, not with sauce!), diced sweet potato, and at the end I added half a
package of frozen peas. (I know, BFF you hate peas! Use green beans or okra or
broccoli or.....? whatever you have/like.) All cooked in crockpot on low for 5
hours. Really good! But, like most things I cook, it's a little of this and that
I have on hand.
Here you go....

January 8th
English Toffee Day
I suggest you go to this site and order some. It's the BEST! Or if you are
close to Grants Pass, stop in the store oat 413 Union (near the Three Rivers
Hosp), say hi to Dee and buy some toffee! They have free samples. Once you try
it, you are hooked!
One of my favorites is their Trail Toffee (a finalist in the NY Fancy Food
Show for Outstanding Snack Food Category) ... I like to make oatmeal cookies and
instead of just putting raisins in the cookie dough, I put this in. It is a
mixture of English Toffee with toasted almonds, dried cranberries and
raisins. OMGOOOD!!!!!
