I'm making a batch of vegetable beef soup from the beef stock I made yesterday. (I got about 10 quarts from the first wetting and 6 quarts from the 2nd wetting.)

I made a simple Greek Salad I found on delish.com last summer. And, then I heated some chicken sausage on the stove.
We had driving rains all afternoon so it was nice to stay inside. I think it was the same storm that caused Joan to lose power, but thankfully we didn’t. And then the temperature dropped overnight to 50! That’s because I took my winter quilt off the bed yesterday ? but it will be back up to mid 60s today.

With temperatures this morning below freezing, and only slightly higher now, my husband fired up the wood stove. I seized the opportunity and am making minestrone on top of it. I use my own turkey/chicken stock. My basic recipe is from Betty Crocker's International Cookbook. I've replaced the basil with Penzey's Tuscan Sunset (salt-free) and added a yellow bell pepper. I plan to omit the macaroni. It will make a nice warm lunch on a cold day of mixed snow and rain.

We have about 2 inches of mixed freezing rain, sleet, and snow that's been collecting on the ground for 2 days now. Since great minds think alike, I also made soup today. I tried a new recipe, Ham and Potato Corn Chowder, from Kevin's Closet Cooking. I felt I was in a rut always making split pea soup whenever I had a ham bone, and I really don't care for split pea. I was doubtful about using the broth from cooking the bone and mixing it with milk, and was also afraid the garlic and thyme might not be enough seasoning for this. But after it sat for an hour for the flavors to develop, it's really good and I would make it again.

Tuesday night, I boiled up the last of the package of lemon pepper linguini and made a sauce with mushrooms sautéed in grapeseed oil, along with broccoli florets and some of the leftover turkey, then added the rest of the not overly thick gravy that I made last Saturday. The combination worked well, and there is enough for a second meal.

I only have one package of specialty pasta left. I need a trip to Tuesday Morning next time we are somewhere close to one so that I can stock up on that and some other food items.

I've been cooking out of the freezer for a while now. Wanting to use up everything that's been in there a while. I found a 16 month old pork rib roast at the bottom. So I made pork roast tonight. Seasoned it with a little salt and a liberal amount of paprika. Still delicious.
