When my parents left the Camry with me, back in early August, they also left some vegetables -- a couple carrots and a bunch of celery, mostly. I didn't manage to do anything with them before I went on vacation, but when I came back I made, in fairly rapid succession, a batch of pot roast, a batch of my standard chicken soup, and a batch of garlic-chicken-noodle soup, which was intended as a potential base for dumping cheese into. (The garlic was provided by a Lipton's recipe secret mix, because I am a lazy cook.)
I left one two-serving container of the garlic-chicken-noodle soup in the fridge rather than the freezer, and tonight I tried grating some colby jack into it before reheating in the microwave. I hereby report the experiment a success, though next time I think I will double the amount of cheese. :-)

In other news, Dottie seems to be settling in fairly well. She has not been enthusiastic about late evening/night walks either today or yesterday, even though she does need to go out at least once after her afternoon/early evening walk to pee. I also forgot to brush her teeth before breakfast this morning. (She has had several teeth removed in the past couple years, so Mom has become very concerned over her dental health.) I will try to remember that tomorrow, though I am not cognitively at my best immediately after getting up... particularly not when I'm getting up before 9am. *sigh*
