It is, of course, What Alice Forgot. Sorry. I am really longing for Spring!! <br />I want to read through the Mitford series again sometime,,,, but with all of the books on my TBR list..... well, so many books ~ so little time! I read somewhere that if you read, on average, 24 books each year, for 50 years, that is 1200 books. I think there are more than 1200 new books published per month!! <br />44 days til Spring!!

Try using cauliflower instead of potatoes to make soup. I think you will be surprised. Potatoes raise blood sugar levels (which contribute to excessive eating) cauliflower does not.<br />www.dietdoctor.com<br />pianogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05810826235373000792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-58734064737980554372016-02-04T16:49:03.165-05:002016-02-04T16:49:03.165-05:00Thank you for all these suggestions - I am going t...Thank you for all these suggestions - I am going to look them up on Amazon and add them to my Kindle!!Debbie - Mountain Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18401931842031353732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6737531804022285705.post-14959422537621244672016-02-04T15:54:31.169-05:002016-02-04T15:54:31.169-05:00I am reading The Secret Keeper by Morton.

The chef at my job saves buckets of veggie scraps in the walk-in for making broth - I actually put my scraps in the compost pile but rather use fresh carrots, celery, onions, etc when making my broth. Either way, nothing goes to waste, right?

I actually buy a lot of my books on Kindle now when they are on a 'daily deal' on Amazon - it takes me so long to get through a book sometimes it just makes more sense than using the library for me. As for the broth, I save the rinds of my hard cheeses like Parmesan or Manchego in the freezer and throw them into the broth - they just add a nice depth of flavor.

I think it's time for me to make some more homemade soup. We still have our turkey carcass in our freezer from Thanksgiving and seeing the snow falling outside is making me hungry for some good soup. I just finished an awesome book last evening, The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah. I stayed up until 1:00 AM to finish it, it was that good. When our kids were younger, I remember getting into my books and almost forgetting to fix dinner.
