Hello. Very busy time in the work life lately. Lots of things happening there - events and projects culminating to a mid-April crescendo. I just want to make it through til then. Then I will be able to breathe. I can do it. I think I can. I think I can. It will all work out. I have an event next week and the week after. I will have projects to do

Those soups sound delicious. Don't be shy if you feel like sharing the recipe. ;)

Have fun in Santa Cruz! It sounds lovely.

I could share my recipe. I mainly make things from my head. So I could try and put it down here.

I am excited about Santa Cruz. Such a great place. :) Have a good Sunday.

Easy Beef & Cabbage Soup
1 lb of ground beef or turkey of your choice - I use extra lean beef. Brown the beef with diced onion, if you like, and drain.
Add 4 cups of chicken or beef broth. Either works just as well, whatever kind of meat you use.
Add whatever spice you like - I use garlic, chili powder, and cumin - a little Mexican flavor.
Add 2 cans of undrained diced tomatoes and a small chopped up head of cabbage.
Simmer until the cabbage is done and enjoy!
You can also add things like chopped celery or a can of diced mild green chilies, just for a little variation.

Thanks! Have you shared that recipe already? It sounds familiar. Anyway, I added the ingredients to my shopping list. It sounds just like the kind of thing I love, and meat+cabbage - great for getting iron in me.

*hugs*

Seconding the recipe request, especially the cabbage soup. :)

I can relate to feeling stressed. Hang in there!

I will try and post the recipe or maybe aglarien1 can. It is a really good recipe.

Less stress now as things are coming together. :P

This recipe is so low calories it's ridiculous.

Enjoy your trip :)

I have a five minute go to soup for when I need one in a hurry - I put frozen peas in a saucepan, cover with water to the level of the peas and bring to the boil. Then I turn off the heat and blend it with fresh tarragon, ground pepper, a knob of butter, and milk - added to make it the consistency I like. Then it is ready to eat - I put mine in a large mug and have it that way.

We had a really nice time in Santa Cruz. Had brunch and ice cream and went to the sea side. Very fun.

This looks so easy. I will give it a try. I need to get peas. :D

You are totally the Little Train that Can! You can do it! :)

Ooo, by now you have already had your relaxing day...I hope it was all you hoped for and more!!

Mmm, soup :) I always want to make some, but then get all bogged down by the lazies. Darn them.

*hugs you lots*

[phyncke]

I am doing it.
Soup is good for the lazies. You have to make it but then you have all these ready made meals so you don't have to cook. It is good that way.

*huggles*

I'm glad you said hello, and it seems that you're doing well.
