Soup Weather
Spent an hour chopping through the solid inch of ice on my car today. The shower curtain shield I put over the windshield was actually pretty effective.
ONE NEGATIVE: To get the snow off their shoes, people seem to be STOMPING up the stairs and it is LOUD.
ONE POSITIVE: When you have no roommate, you can peel out of all your snow drippy clothes as soon as you're in the door.
In honor of the weather, Jen & I made soup. There's a recipe for the super delicious cheese soup they serve at Le Cellier (the steak house in Epcot's Canada) in my Disney Cookbook, and we made that. It goes through a weird stage ("This looks gross, it's like a bacon-flour paste."), but it came out REALLY WELL. Jen and I have mad cooking skillz now.
Plus I bought a chicken. A whole, organic, dirty hippie chicken. Our next recipe calls for a whole chicken, so I went ahead and bought it to freeze while I was getting soup ingredients. And you can only get that (at Schnuck's) if you buy the organic chicken. Many brands will sell you all the parts of a chicken, but not still put together--and since the recipe requires putting stuff INSIDE the chicken, the put together bit is kind of necessary. Especially since I don't have Preston Burke around to sew my chickens back together.
