No drama. Do as you please! I reserve the right to moan and complain though.
I just won't be popping over for dinner for the next 2 months.
Round #2 of chicken & pumpkin soup. Better with mushrooms!
Unfortunately, this was the last hen. I'm getting better at stove top cooking with these girls. Think MIL called this a pot roast.
1 Hen and oil to brown. Add a carrot and onions and over low fire cook for an hour. Turning every 20 minutes to cook the skin.
Add 2-3 cups pumpkin (fill the pot) and let the pumpkin cook down for an hour. Pumpkin reduces in volume by half. For the last 30 minutes, add bell pepper, mushrooms, basil and rosemary (from front garden). Salt and pepper to taste. I add 2 jalapenos whole and pick those out to eat with my portions.
The hornets in the front drive fooled me. The cold weather had them inactive. Now that I need the garage, the little buggers won't let me near. Haven't been stung in a decade and I've gotten hit 3 times this year.
