i'm thinking poor old man's potato soup, it's easy and tasty. just potatoes, onions, celery and carrots in chicken stock.
i've really been bad about feeding myself for a bit and need to get back into better habits. it's not even the holidays and i've put on enough weight in the last month or so that i only have one pair of pants that fit.

(16,334 posts)I'm trying to keep any leftovers out of the fridge because of Thanksgiving so I am making minimal meals that can get eaten up. Today has been cold and rainy so a soup would be good but I can never make a small batch.

(14,894 posts)soup to be precise. But keep in mind the soup (Vietnamese Chicken Pineapple soup) is extra yummy (like most soups) on the second day.

These sprouts were really good, almost creamy after steaming. I like the winter crop as well. After a sharp chill they get more pungent. Telltale marker - the outer sheath turns purplish.

Edited to add I bought the most incredibly fresh head of red lettuce tonight!
Sandwiches tonight because I have delicious pork for bbq pork and spinach-feta cheese-chicken sausages for another type. Grilled, of course, and on potato rolls or onion rolls.
I'm thinking a few dates stuffed with blue cheese for an appetizer. A little red.
Things are looking good here--finished my last class and now it's TG holiday, yay!
I am laughing at "poor old man's potato soup." What a picturesque name!
