(no subject)

I did not order any snow. I particularly did not order any snow on a Monday morning in early April. But I seem to have gotten it anyway.

Since it started yesterday, I stayed home and made soup. So now I'm out of homemade soup stock, and I probably ought to do something about that the next time I find chicken wings on sale. Turkey wings make excellent soup stock, but you can't get turkey wings except between Thanksgiving and New Year's. And I don't have enough freezer space to keep both soup stock and ingredients for the next round of soup stock in the freezer.

Anyway, the soup I made was a variant of C&F soup. Stock and diced tomatoes and corn and lima beans and chickpeas and small shell pasta, and all the herbs for meatballs, and chives. And a piece of parmesan rind. Good stuff. (Slurp.) And I used up the steel-cut oatmeal making granola, so now I have to decide if I want to get some more and make granola until I run out of pumpkin seeds (a pound is a lot of pumpkin seeds) or if I want to stop for a while. Apparently eating granola for breakfast means I shouldn't eat any lunch at all, but I don't work like that. So I gain a pound every week I eat granola for breakfast. Sigh.

I finally got video of Snip in the presence of Provolone cheese. "Mugged" is about the word for it. Silly beast.
