Summer is almost over and it's starting to get cold. I had a hard time finding anything warm enough for us this morning! Thankfully, there was one outfit's worth of clothes for Timothy to wear.
I got the bug to cook something wonderful this afternoon. Chicken noodle soup sounded puuurfect. ...and it was. I used a sweet potato ice cube to cool my bowl down and it turned the broth a beautiful shade of yellow.
Now, before you go thinking I'm superwoman, I did take some shortcuts that really turned out well: I used canned chicken (which is surprisingly good in soup) and a frozen "chicken noodle soup mix." I had to use my own spices and chicken base ("Better Than Bullion"--most awesome ingredient since hot sauce) because the seasoning packet had MSG in it. Even though I couldn't use the seasoing, I really liked the product and would buy it again (on sale, of course). This was as good as any real homemade soup that I've had!
Now I'm off to have leftover birthday cake for dessert. What? It was Jesse's birthday on wednesday and we can't let perfectly good cake go bad. Doesn't everyone eat "lunch dessert"?
