Hope your day's going well JC. Can't say it's a surprise from the way you've talked about things lately so I just hope it works out and you find what makes you happy. Good luck with the interview.

I usually make a quick chicken soup these days - Princess is not the most patient of customers and we don't always have time for anything that takes more than 30 minutes from prep to table! I steam onions, celery and carrots in a bit of evoo with salt, pepper, oregano, garlic and a spoonful of flour - add a sliced and diced rotisserie chicken from the supermarket and then when that is all tender, add 2 cartons of chicken broth (I like Swansons) and we are good to go in less than 20- minutes. Noodles are optional and if we want them I usually cook the No Eggies extra wide noodles separately and ladle the soup right over them in the bowl - special chicken soup bowls of course!

@ Terri: In general, Gary uses very little, if any, salt in his dishes. Pepper is an entirely different matter. (Gary grows ginger also.)

Same here. Generally, if a dish is well seasoned with herbs and spices, there's enough flavor that salt isn't necessary.

Salt is my favorite spice!

There is a pretty fair amount of Poland in Dave. Makes Dave rather a meat and potatoes sort. That said, Sister makes a mean chicken soup! And we like Spaghetti and other Italian food.

As to this morning. Dave clocked in at 5:06am. Previous 5:04. Anyhow Dave is glad 90 degrees and 90 humidity is not around right now. He picked up much trash and swept a lot behind the store. Jodi liked it so much she told Trish. This can only be a good thing.

The soup is simmering. Typical chicken soup, carrots, celery et al. Mary Lou prefers the fixin's chucky ... and Gary chops them large. There are tomatoes, peppers of all kinds, basil, parsley, beans and Gary's secret ingredient from the yard.

Beans? In chicken soup? Blasphemy!

Lol, long green beans.

I believe we get carrots and celery. And noodles. Might be willing to try it your way if you feel like sending the recipe.

Totally agree with you on the eggs and popcorn! Yum!!

Don't really use it in soup and, with a baked potato, I figure there's a lot of sodium in the disgusting amount of (real) butter I slather in there...along with the bacon.

Got home and caught a little of the baseball game. Sorry Peg, Houston is stacked.

Interview was a joke, not even worth discussing. A Fortune 50 company doing weird interviews. Totally bizzare.

Sorry about the interview. Sale’s pitches looked flat today. He left a couple up and the zone, and that was the ball game.
