My leukemia's back.

Got me a pot of Pepper Pot soup going. Ken is out of town and fighting snow and ice trying to get back home. So I figured if I'd make a pot of his favorite soup. When it's done I'll just tuck it into the oven on 225 and it will be ready whenever he gets here and gets the car unloaded. At least the mountains are still relatively clear.....right now that area from Cheyenne to Chugwater hasn't been much fun.

Morning all!

The boys are out of school today (we call this month No-School November, seems like they're out more than in) and I'm not sure what we're going to do. Honey and I have been busting out bums the last few days and don't really want to make it a work day. I'm tired! But they can't just sit and watch video games all day......have to think of something.

I have a roasted chicken from Costco, I think I'll have Honey pull the meat and make either creamed chicken over tots, or chicken pot pie. I've been craving the pot pie, and I have this lovely rendered lard I could use....that may be the way to go.

It froze last night for the first time. Got a fire burning away in the wood stove, I may have to fix a pot of beans just as a salute to the season. We've got lots of smoked ham hocks to use.

I'm all in for pot pie. I got some peppers to put in it

No peppers!

Not only am I a wimpy gringo chick on a good day, but my mouth is sore enough I can't eat the BBQ potato chips, the seasoning just makes it burn. I can just imagine a pepper

No, I'm thinking more of onions, mushrooms, maybe squash, peas and carrots, yams. Sounds great!

Blooie, how do you make Pepper Pot soup? Sorry if you mentioned before, I don't remember.

 

[Blooie]

I think I posted it once before....I'll see if can find it. It's really just the basic vegetable beef soup most folks make with small chunks of beef, onions, potatoes, carrots, a can of beef broth and a can of tomatoes and water. I toss in a bay leaf, some garlic powder, a little chili powder, salt and lots of crushed peppercorns. About 15 minutes before serving I toss in a little frozen corn, peas, and green beans and continue cooking until they are done.

Ok, that does sound familiar. Sheesh, I can't remember anything any more.

Sounds good. I'm kicking around what to cook for supper. May do up a pot of soup. Making second batch of apple sauce now. Smells yummy. Still need to do the pie filling.

Good morning everyone!

Blooie, I hope DH made it home safely yesterday.

Rachel, did you make your pot pie? We're already talking about making our pecker pie with the leftover turkey from Thanksgiving dinner, lol.

Looks like we're going to lose one of our oldest rabbits in the next day or two. She's been a good breeder and mama for us. DH is having a tough time with it, this girl was his favorite. He feels about his rabbits the same way I feel about my chickens. Always tough to lose an animal you get close to.

Time to get another cup of coffee, be back later.
