I'm attempting to make soup. God knows how it will turn out. I have kale, I have potatoes I even have leeks. I have no chicken broth or milk. I did find a recipe for potato kale soup that sound really bland, the only seasoning was salt for the potatoes.
So I figured I'll try it and then add my own seasonings. I put the water on to boil, chopped everything, realized I probably should have sauted the onion and leek in the pot first, but I did that in a seperate skillet. Then I remembered another soup recipe with leeks where the recipe called for cooking the leeks in the water to flavor it, so I did that. So now the potatoes and sauted onion and leek are in the water (leek leaves taken out), plus 2 bay leaves. I realized I have turnip greens to use up before the kale so I'm going to try that.
I'll see how this turns out. I may end up throwing it out and making mac and cheese.
Sounds good, askye. I love potato soup with leeks and onions! I hope it turns out well.
Happy Date-versary to sj & TCG!
I'm coveting this creamer & sugar bowl. My hand is perilously close to clicking "checkout" on my amazon account.
Greg cooked tonight. Pizza Hut dinner buffet. It was pretty good. Also, Aidan tolerated a little cheese yesterday, so we let him have a piece of cheese pizza today. Oh the bliss on that boy's face.
I had my first remicade infusion today. It was a little painful, a lot tiring, but if it works it's going to feel much better to be me.
Deena, what's remicade and what's it for, the fibromyalgia?
ETA: Nebbermind. I just went and checked LJ. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
The soup is a success! Although I wish I had a food processor or immersion blender so I could puree the potatoes.
Although even though the turnip greens were already chopped I should have chopped them more. I seasoned it with lots of black pepper, a bit of thyme and a dash of sage. It still needs something though, maybe garlic or chicken broth.
Yay soup!

Apparently, Paris Hilton's new pet is an illegal kinkajou. That's the bad news. The good news is that it freaked out and clawed her face up while she was on a shopping trip in Vegas recently.
Poor thing.
The kinkajou, not Paris.
Okay, why do they illustrate that story with a pic of (unscratched) Paris and not of the whateverthehellthatis?
