It is Saturday morning. I have been sick a few days this week, but am much better today. This has been a short cold…thanks to whoever has been praying for me. It has slowed me down on my work however. I have not gotten much done for the exhibit which starts 2 weeks from YESTERDAY.
So this morning I am dyeing some fabric since a customer will be in the area next week and needs some. And since I am dyeing, I am dyeing a special order scarf. At the same time I am trying out some new soup recipes. I fixed a boneless turkey roast yesterday and my usual recipe for leftovers is turkey tetrazzini which we love, but is that all there is? So this a.m. I was googling for recipes and came upon two that I decided to try. One is turkey barley soup. While DH doesn’t particularly care for barley (like how much taste is in the stuff anyway?), I made a small batch of it to try. It is very good. The other one is a creamy turkey soup with rice in it. And while it doesn’t call for wild rice, I put a handful of it in with the Basmati rice. I usually keep wild rice cooked and in the freezer for a certain wild rice bread that I adore. I was really wanting to make a chicken and wild rice soup this week, but didn’t have the requisite green onions and pimientos to make it, so I scratched the idea. The turkey rice soup was the perfect opportunity to throw in some wild rice. There is nothing like wild rice. I love it. My husband will get a soup smorgasbord tonight for supper. Maybe I need to make some homemade bread too, eh?
This afternoon my plan is to get a new mixed media piece stitched. I planned on getting two pieces collaged this week in preparation for stitching, but due to how AWful I felt, I only got one done. Now I need to stitch it before I can start any painting and drawing on it.
Ummm…trying the new creamy turkey and rice soup now…delicious!
Yum, you’re making me hungry. Please share your wild rice bread recipe. Sounds wonderful!
Hi Lynda, ok…I was thinking I had already shared it on here, but can’t see it. I do think I shared it on FB…I will check and get back with you.
Kathy, I haven’t had a cold in 6 years by taking 1000mg of Vit C each morning with my multiple vitamin. I started doing this when I taught elementary art with 950 students. It works! I enjoyed reading your post and your ideas of fixing the soups. What a way to get two things accomplished at the same time. Would love to see photos of the work you a completed as the soup simmered.
