14,130 Days Alive
$33.33 Spent on Dinner
6 Cups of Stock Used
2.05 Pounds of Stew Beef Cooked
1 New to Me Soup Recipe
So I used this recipe, sans barley, as the basis for dinner tonight. Mellon is sick and requested soup. So soup I made!
Spock was trying to be a trip hazard the entire time I cooked. Like, middle of the floor laying, weaving in-between my ankles, and just generally being an adorable annoyance.
I prepped the veggies first, cutting up a cup’s worth of baby cut carrots, a single massive stalk of celery, and a sweet onion. I used two cups of tiny yellow potatoes rather than a single cup. And rather than two cans of tomatoes, next time, I think I’d do one 14.5 ounce can. And since the package of stew beef was on sale, it was only a dollar more than the same amount of ground beef. Next time, ground beef instead.
I’ll be traveling after work this weekend; leaving dear Spock in Mellon’s care as I drive by myself to Ohio to see J and Charles for a day or two. I’ll be back Sunday and then I took Monday off so I could get rest despite all the traveling I’ll be doing.
For now, however, I am pleasantly full of soup and am trying to convince Mellon to watch The Princess Bride with me. But since they’re not feeling well, it is not likely to happen.
I’m off to crochet. Take your meds, folks.
