I make "clean out the refrigerator" soup. I put in whatever veggies I have,
rounding it out with some canned stuff if necessary. It often has a tomato
base, but sometimes chicken, beef or vegetable broth. There may be rice or
pasta added. It's never the same thing twice.

I rarely have leftover cooked vegetables, but sometimes I will have
potatoes. Husband doesn't usually eat a lot of potatoes and I tend to cook
too many. Angela's favorite vegetable is green beans and there are never
any leftovers, no matter how much I cook. This last week I had a leftover
ear of corn, but Angela put her foot down and said she didn't want anything
soupy. So I tossed it.

Tomorrow, husband will probably be on his own for dinner. Hard to say
though because it is currently snowing. It's possible there will be no
school or no dance class after. If no dance class, I will have to make
dinner. Otherwise, Angela and I will dine out.

Tuesday I will be using the crockpot and will probably make the Chinese Pie
which is neither Chinese nor pie. Wed. I will need to use up the cooked
chicken that Angela wanted. It's just plain chicken breast with salt and
pepper, cut in strips. Will probably put that in pasta and gravy. Then
Thu. will be the brown sugar chicken with white rice. I'll probably eat
something else. Then Fri. will be dining out again so hopefully there will
be something leftover for husband to eat.

I didn't know that, Nick - thanks I've only seen the sweet stuff
round here too. Maybe I'll have to get my neighbour, who visits Italy
often, to get me some secco : )

I use Marsala exclusively as the cooking wine around here. It improves the
flavor of almost anything, especially if it contains tomatoes.

I have a recipe that might go very well in a crockpot.

Buy a pork shoulder roast, some places it is called a "boston butt" and they
can be quite large. First sautee a generous amount of chopped onions in
a pot, add some chicken stock and Marsala wine. Put the pork roast into
the pot, cover it and simmer for a really long time. When the meat is
nearly falling off the bone, it is done. It is one of my most delicious
recipes.

The dry Marsala just doesn't have the flavor of the stuff usually sold for
cooking. I ruined a chicken Marsala one time when I couldn't find the
cheap Marsala and could only get the Florio brand, which is very dry. You
use very little of it, so the carbs are not much when you consider an entire
recipe, and what each person eats per portion. I usually buy either
Cribari or Gallo Marsala, which could certainly be served by itself as a
beverage, but I only use it in cooking.

I like to use the dry for cooking. If it's a cream dish, you can always
add some double cream or mascarpone to balance it. I drink the sweet as I
would a Tokaji (wish I could afford 5 Puttonya). The dry Marsala is nice
to sip with veal and such. There's no Sherry in my house!

How's yer body doin'? Are ya able to be back ta training hard?

Do you cook with the dry or the sweet Marsala, Evelyn?

I use the CHEAP Marsala, like Opici or Gallo, which is slightly sweet. I
use so little in an entire dish that it doesn't affect my blood glucose.

As long as it's a good enough quality that I'd drink it, I'd cook with it!
For instance, when cooking dishes that call for Bourbon, I'll use Jim Beam.
I use Jack Daniels (NOT a Bourbon) to light the charcoal in my BBQ! ;-D

I like the Mormons. Once I was sick when I answered the door and the two
clean cut boy next door American kids offered to come and help me out as I
had all 4 of my youngest here back then. I said well, there is lots of
bedding to wash becasue of the vomits and they said no problem!!! I said no,
really I couldn't ask them to do that. After a bit of an argument they
conceded. I doubt they would have accepted any hard liquor though

I always told the Mormons that I was a Jack Mormon; told the Jehovah's
Witnesses that I had been disfellowshipped. But, generous, polite, loving
person that I am, I always invited them in for a drink. Sometimes they
walked away. The JW's with kids ran! I haven't been able to find it, but
they must have put some kind of mark on my house, as they stopped coming
here a couple of years ago. ;-(

I have a brochure I wrote in my computer. I would give them this, and tell
them I'd read their literature if they read mine. They NEVER come back

lol.

I had a cousin who was a well studied Catholic, and whenever the JW showed
up at his door he would invite them in and they would all have a long
discussion about religion...the JW always conceded first...LOL. They stopped
coming to his door. Az has it's share of Mormons...I even went to their
church for a while...part of joining my church...we were encouraged to check
out other religions. One thing that impressed me was how important the
family is to the church. I have never been bothered my Mormon boys at my
door...but I swear the JW's followed us to England when we moved there in
the 70's. We lived in the middle of a farming community and one day there
was a knock at the door...imagine my surprise when I saw the JWs standing
there at my door

What a great idea. The problem for my local JH and Mormons
(well, shipped-in local 21yo "elders" from Utah) was that I
am retired and have time on my hands and enjoy reading the
bible as a book full of a great mixture of myth, history and
hearsay. I find it fascinating, have read much of it many
times and therefore know it fairly well.

So the first few times one knocked on the door I happily
spent up to an hour discussing history, theology, biblical
chapters and logic on the door-step.

For some odd reason I see them walk straight past these
days. I almost miss them...


Cheers, Alan, T2, Australia.

Next time I'm up north. If you find yourself in way-the-heck-south Texas
I have a wonderful bar that matches our entertainment center unit. I
designed the bar (and the entertainment center) and had them built for
me by a local cabinet maker/furniture builder. Since I can get duty-free
liquor rather easily, it's pretty well stocked, too. :-)

I was blown away that they sincerely wanted to come in and help with
whatever, not just a vacuum or yard tidy. I almost felt bad for refusing
them. In the pouring rain one day I offered to pick two of them up and they
refused, almost seemed happy to walk in the teeming rain with no protection.
And I rather like being called ma'm

I love Austin, though it is growing a little too quickly. We don't get
up there very often because it means an overnight.

the "beaten path" here, it's almost like living on an island.
