Yum, having some rice milk. I'll cook up my veggie soup pretty soon using the broth I made last weekend. That stuff has been marinating in the fridge all week, so it should be pretty tasty. And I have to finish my video!
I have this huge, beautiful crock pot that I've never used. One of these days! Maybe I should cook my soup in it?
You really should!
They're made for lots of soup! And you can make it all in the crock pot in the morning, and let it cook throughout the day on low and when you get home dinner is already there!
Speaking of food again...
Got lazy today and opened a canned chili con carne, added left over shredded drunken spareribs, and wrapped it in my homemade (made the other day) tortilla. Topped with sour cream, lettuce, diced tomato, grated cheese...and bingo! my meal...since nobody else is home. No guacamole though.
And that way you can pour a nice glass of Chianti, have some brie and lightly-toasted Melba crackers and listen to Nessun dorma from Giacomo Puccini's Turandot, then watch as they stick to the trap with their little grasping feet and horrified faces and struggle painfully until their untimely death, ripping their dermis off, tearing subcutaneous tissue and losing vital bodily fluids all the while, right?
Actually, the little dog used to put them out of their misery and then bring me their fresh kill at 4 a.m., throw it at my feet or next to my bed, and stand there all tufted out and proud waiting for a prize. Unfortunately, she recently passed away after 15 years of service and the one I have now actually rescues and adopts small animals - remember the possum in the bed incident- so, it remains to be seen how this will play out. I opened a small drawer in the kitchen, last time, to get an SOS pad and one jumped out and clung to my sweater and I was doing this dance, only seen in mosh pits, in my kitchen, just screaching. It's rather ironic that I discovered the dog food hoarding the day after I burried the dog as if they were sitting out there watching me, rubbing their little grubby paws and planning their takeover.
The last time I had a home invasion I lost my oven, they used it as a camp ground and ripped all the insultation out of it and when I opened my good, large leather luggage almost a whole bag of dog food spilled out.

YUM.
For chili from the can my fav is Nalley original chili. Sometimes i melt some velveeta cheese with some chili, then dunk corn chips init.
I've never made a stew. I need to do that with the crock pot. This soup so far- I sauteed garlic, onion, pearl onion, peas, turnip, parsnip, carrots, broccoli, table spoon of rice for thickness, leeks, and celery. I had my broth warming in another pot (that was made from a bunch of different veggies) and added that to the sauteing veggies with dill, parsley, oregano, and a dash of hot pepper. When it's almost finished I'll add a bit of escarole. I'm cooking veggie sausage in a different pan and will add that to the individual bowls. Heated, crusty Italian bread will be on the side.
