the scrappy DWR is all basted and marked, set aside until i finish the wall piece in the hoop currently....
still bitter cold, 5 degrees here this early morning going up to 34...thankfully sun is shining which warms up my apartment considerably. i pay my own electric here and so every bit of free energy is a plus.
after grocery delivery midmorning, rustled up a big pot of my mom's beef veggie soup....
i used about 3/4 pound of stew beef and veggies aplenty--carrots, parsnips, onions, celery, cabbage plus a can of diced tomatoes, unsalted stock, herbs and a splash of worcestershire...containers were frozen for future meals but it's on the menu again today...mmm mmm good!
working up motivation for getting to the mathemagical top. i should be able to get most of it done today, the rest friday morning. friday afternoon and saturday taken up with activities but next week is another week free of appointments and such. might be time for a couple of small pieces on my wish list to stave off midwinter boredom. keep warm and sew on!!
Basting is half the battle, isn't it?! Almost a "stewp" (stew + soup)! We love parsnips and I bought them yesterday when I ventured out (22 degrees) to restock the fridge and pantry.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite cold up here and that soup looks so yummy. it would warm me up! Yeah you for getting your challenges done for this month. I got mine done also. We are on a good roll.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lovely warming pan of soup.
ReplyDeleteIt must feel so satisfying to have the basting done. At least that's how I always feel.
ReplyDeleteYour soup looks great! keep warm and sew on!
ReplyDeleteThat’s great to have one basted. There is nothing more warming than a nice hearty pot of soup. Yours looks delicious. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYour productivity inspires me!
ReplyDeleteCold days make me crave soup. I made a pot of tomato basil soup yesterday and it fed us again today, with leftovers still. Your soup sounds and looks delicious!
