It is so easy and not much effort really! We like the recipe linked below. Sometimes I skip the wine and herbs and just use the beef broth, and typically use any white cheese I have on hand. I also skip the step with the ramekins. Just put the bread with cheese under the broiler and plop in a bowl of soup, or we dip it in the soup. Whatever, play with it and make it your own. We also use white or yellow onions, sometimes a mix of both, I’m not picky that way lol. I always use better than bouillon though, much better than anything canned or the cubes.

It was warm today though in the upper 60s, which is incredible for mid-Dec here. I got outside for a bit and got the lake cleared out of the garden. What was left was all wilted so we tossed out in the chicken run and some to the ducks too. We also got a fresh layer of straw down in the duck run. It was a bake that was sitting outside and heavy with water so I am not too worried about it getting blown away in the wind. I also covered a bed with a tarp I had in the yard that got blown around. Hoping it helps to subdue weeds until Spring planting. While out there I noticed a squirrel has been digging in my garlic bed. Asparagus he doesn't like garlic though since the clove was left in the hole. I was glad to see the choice had roots growing though. That's a good sign for next year's garlic. I turned it so the roots were facing down again and filled the hole with soil and then push the straw mulch back over the shot. I hope that squirrel stays out of there now.
