1. OMG! That sound fantastic!

Really mouthwatering combo.

We'll be having leftovers most of the week. I tasted the sauce again this morning and, as usual, it's ever so much better now that it's had time for all the flavors to fully develop and meld.

Enjoy your lovely dinner.

6. Glazed ham and cheese sandwiches, caesar salad and the rest of the potato salad.

Dinner was great yesterday and it was wonderful to have all cold foods prepared. Never had to even turn on a burner.

Are you pot roasting your beef? I love to do that with star anise, then throw the veggies in at the end to cook in the broth.

They won their first game 10-0. All we can hope that this won't be the last time they win this season.

...and it was sooo delicious on this chilly day.

My old usual recipe

four cups chicken broth or four cups water and 4 bouillon cubes
2 cups + cooked chicken, chunked
8 oz tomatillo salsa verde
1 cup diced yellow onion
1/2 cup frozen corn
1 can tomatoes -- I used the mexican style chunked tonight and I also threw in some green tomato chunks from the freezer
1 T ground cumin
handful of masa or cornmeal into boiling soup to thicken
two torn up corn tortillas into boiling soup for texture

garnish with sour cream, diced avocado, tortilla strips fried til crispy and drained on paper towel. Wedge of lime if you want it.

Full meal.
