My blog is to be just as random as I am. I could create one blog for my theatre on goings. I could have another with a fitness theme as I regularly go to the gym, run in local races, struggle with eating right and try to balance all this with a busy lifestyle. A food blog could be a possibility for me as I go through cooking/baking spells. Alas, I have settled for one blog (at least for the time being) with many wide ranging topics. Thus this photo:
This is the second time this beginning of autumn season that I have made potato soup. The first go around produced a decent soup, but this second batch was even better. The recipe is simple and adjustable for your liking.
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter
1 onion chopped
1 c celery chopped
8 potatoes peeled and cubed
2 c water/ 2 c chicken broth
4 Tbsp flour
2 1/3 c milk
In a large pot sauté onion and celery in butter until tender.
Add potatoes, water and chicken broth. Bring to a boil then simmer until potatoes are tender.
In separate bowl mix together flour and milk until flour is nearly dissolved.
Add milk/flour to pot stirring continuously.
That is the gist of it, but different individuals may add different seasonings and such to enhance the flavor for them. I added garlic salt and pepper.
I have really been on a cooking kick lately, as time allows. I baked peanut butter cookies last week and took them to my second rehearsal for my fellow cast members to munch on. They enjoyed them and it was requested that I bring more back.
Now don't get the idea that I'm very domesticated because you would be so far off. True, I have had few blunders, but I attribute that to not being a total moron. I can read and follow written instructions. I made blueberry scones a few weeks ago even though I wasn't sure what "folding" was and they turned out pretty good.
I have successfully made several Thanksgiving dinners. Yummy Yam Casserole went over well two years ago at my Thanksgiving.
Ok, that will do it for this food portion of my blog for now.
