Soup #2

OKAY Folks, time to review soup #2,  Zuppa Toscana in my I MADE THE SOUP series. 

First, we shall inspect this screen shot. "Prep: 15 minutes" that is complete bullshit. 


This is a picture of some ingredients


The bacon.


Me burning my fingers cutting the bacon that I was supposed to cut before I cooked it. 


This picture is boring. I ran out of this broth stuff, but my super husband had a back-up in the pantry. 


The soup before the cream!


And the family review



AND NOW MY REVIEW.

Well, this soup was really good. But, it was pain to do the kale and to cut the potatoes even though I shorted both..5 cups of kale (I was supposed to do 6 and 5 potatoes, also supposed to be 6.) What else, I added extra red pepper cause I thought it would be fun, but it was almost too hot.  I had some other complaints, but luckily I've forgotten them by now because the SOUP WAS SO GOOD.

SCORE
EASY:  like a 5. 
Clocking in at an hour and 15 minutes, it took too long for me and had a lot of extra bowls to wash in general. I don't even know where they came from.
TASTY: heck, a 10! It WAS REALLY GOOD.

Since you made it this far, how about Lil' Squirrel and the gingerbread cookies he wanted to make. (I won't get into the sprinkle drama-there's more than the video shows :) The good news is that he loved the cookies even though they had a strong gingery flavor! 





Bye,
Ms. Non-Sequitur

Surprise! What did Talie and Ms. Sequitur find? HA I meant Ms. NON-Sequitur of course.... How exciting, a teeny tiny (or tee-niny as my Grandma B says) little critter. A baby gecko is gracing her presence on my keyboard. Check out this amazing video footage taken immediately upon noticing the gecko/lizard/cold blooded animal: PS: I made it to work today. I continue to do a Christian Cross each time I arrive somewhere. If anyone knows another religious type sayings I can do or say when I am safe, I would appreciate it. I'm not sure if Jesus and I are vibing.  BIG HUGS Non-Sequitur!

SATURday

In the Park...I think it was the 4th of July. (Think that song by Chicago) Well, it's the 7th today- So how was everyone's 4th? How do you feel about your independence? I was thinking about that-- how come we always say, "Happy 4th!" and not "Happy Independence!" Wouldn't it seriously be an adventure if we were still part of England? Maybe we'd all have British accents and Canada and the US would all be like one big country. Maybe we'd all have health care? And calling my Canadian friends wouldn't be long distance! Yesss! Pets are so much work. Man, I'm babysitting these fish and they are exhausting. I mean, I have to feed them TWICE a day. Come on! Hee Hee. :) I suppose that's why I murdered my fish in college...I mean I didn't murder him/her I just forgot to feed him/her for like a week or so and then he/she died. Do fish REALLY have a gender? No. They are all just fish. Fish sex (sex like making love) would b...

Whoa! What a cool place this Mutinondo  was!  It is is a woodland, wilderness area NORTH EAST of Lusaka about 10 hours by bus. (Sorry about the yelling, that is a little shout out to my friend, you know who you are) (Also,  let me know if the link doesn't work) There were these gorgeous look-out points and mountains....well, large granite hills, but they were steep enough and we climbed up 2 of them. It took about 30 minutes to get to the top of each.  In the top video I'm reaching the top of the mountain!  You can hear our cool driver Mr. K cheering? :) me on!  These photos are in no order exactly, but I'll talk a little about each one! I think this one is on top of the first mountain, called Charlie's Rock This is horse poop (I know you are supposed to say scat in the wilderness, but I think horse poop is funnier. The place has some horses that we didn't ride) The view. Whoa. A little creature roaming around. He was furry and I wonder ...
