Re: Picture of the cutie bug and Blog substitute

Oh that's such a great picture!

I'm copying the blog email on this too so it should make it up there! You know, Mum, that is really cool putting the rind of the Reggiano in there. I've never seen that before. All of that stuff you made sounds wicked good. I'm going blog crazy lately, I'm thinking of starting a blog just to post the different stuff we cook at home. Then we could even refer back to it and maybe people will eventually start to find the recipes there that we post.

Come on Evan and Sabine...BLOG!!!    :)

I just went to blog and Blogger is down for maintenance!! Oh well.    I have been cooking more to save money and we certainly have not lacked in taste for sure!! I made homemade minestra (minestrone) last week which is nothing like store-bought. As you add each veggie to some oil and butter in a large pot, you saute it for three minutes then add the next one; onion, celery, carrot, potato, green bean, zucchini, shredded cabbage (for six mins). This sauteing makes all the difference in the taste. Then add 6 cups broth or stock, the rind from a 1-2 pound piece Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, cover, and simmer 3 hours. Fifteen minutes before finish, add can of drained beans; garbanzo or whatever. Then, take out the rind and serve soup with lots of grated cheese and crusty bread! Mmmm..mm!  Very filling!  Gave Gina some and she said it was "really good". Then I made crock-pot cut-up kielbasa with onions, peppers, potatoes and wine served with baguette. Then, crock-pot, ground turkey chili with kidney beans, garlic, peppers, onions and CORN BREAD (mix)!! Yummy too!  Hot food for cold days tastes so good. And the crockpot does all the work!! Just put the ingredients in in the morning and it's ready when you come home at night! We've been watching the Food Network a lot too.

 

That's all for now,

 

Love to everyone!!!
