Good plan! No hoar frost here, but I did make a huge pot of taco soup. :) Today it is sleeting. There are cars spinning out on the highway and by the time I got home, our road was quite slick.
PS: my word verification is "untent." Is that the opposite of intent? or what you do when you finish camping? ;)
Great photos of the frost, but the soup pictures is terrific! That looks SO good, I might have to go to town and get some leek and broccoli so I can make some (I have leftover ham from last night - that would be tasty, wouldn't it?)
Beautiful shots of shitty weather Reb! I like the way you think; just 3 days ago I bought potato and leek soup and added a minced hamburguesa to it. Yummy!
Frost is so lovely to look at -- in pictures from far away, in the sunshine. When I see it in person, I'm usually too cold to appreciate it.
Your cooking sounds like mine -- most recipes, especially for soup, start with grabbing my grandmother's cast iron pots or skillets and melting some bacon grease.
I've got two pots of soup in the refrigerator right now--split pea, and venison vegetable--but you can keep the frost. It's actually going to be above freezing all week here.
Cold here today too. I made some comfort food as well. It's a dish I've only ever heard of Ukrainian and Polish people enjoying (and probably other Slavic folks). The best phonetic interpretation of it is (in Polish): stew-JEN-itch and (Ukrainian): stew-din-ETZ.
It's a form of what Anglos call "headcheese" and is eaten cold with vinegar, salt and pepper. (An acquired taste, I've been told by those who've tasted it - once.)
Love the hoar frost and your response to it looked very tasty.
ReplyDeleteWe had a soup day yesterday, too, also with leeks.
Good plan!

ReplyDeleteThanks Leah, it was very good... today will be even better :)
ReplyDeleteKcinnova, weather like that deserves soup...any kind. (I'd go with the camping)
Thanks Sis, ham would be tasty.
Thanks Scott. Yes, it makes a meal in itself that way.
