There was a chuck roast I had trimmed up and used for something but saved the trimmings and a good bit of the less nice portions of meat for the freezer. This morning I set them into water with garlic, onion, salt and pepper and they have been simmering away. My thought is to pick the good meat out and add it back to the stock with carrot, celery, and perhaps a chopped onion to make a hearty noodle soup for tonight's supper. This link is to how to make stocks in general if you are interested in making up your own . thehiddenpantry.blogspot.com/2012/05/make-stock-to-freeze-clean-out-your.html These links give my recipe and instructions for making homemade noodles. thehiddenpantry.blogspot.com/2011/11/make-egg-noodles-for-now-or-store-in.html or thehiddenpantry.blogspot.com/2010/09/home-made-noodles-evolve-from-self.html
It is not a very warm day as it started raining in the night and is to resume again this afternoon. So it would be a good soup night I think. Cole slaw and some canned peaches from last summers crop sounds easy enough. The link for my Cole slaw recipe follows here. thehiddenpantry.blogspot.com/2011/02/creamy-potato-salad-and-cream-cole-slaw.html The link for the peaches follows here. thehiddenpantry.blogspot.com/2012/08/canning-nectarines-peaches.html There are frozen homemade noodles in the freezer too, ready to cook, so there is certainly not a big effort going into any of this!
Old Fashioned Sage wintered over as did Chives, Onion Chives, and German Thyme. Rosemary, Basil, and Pineapple Sage have bee added and I am hunting a couple of others. |
Aloe is a staple here. I added some annuals to the pot of lanky Lemon Grass to fill in with color. |
Love my herbs! Dill, Parsley, and Cilantro. |
4:30 PM, I am excited. Stopped at the Newburgh Country Store and carried off the last 4 Tarragon starts they had at half price! Now it is pouring down rain so I will have to wait until tomorrow to find them a home here.
