It speaks for itself and is a timely reminder of why we have been granted the freedom to enjoy Christmas.
Snow flurries expected in San Antonio, TX this Friday. Hill Country (I like to call it God's Country) will have 1-2 inches. I'm excited for the young kids who will get to play in the snow just before Christmas. Here in North San Antonio, possibly 1 inch or less and likely not to stick.
One of the things I love about living in South Texas is the weather. They say "if you don't like the weather, just wait a day".
I do have it on good authority that it will be back in the 70's and clear next weekend.
Enjoy the winter weather and please be safe on the roads.
It's time for soup, stew and comfort foods.....mmmm. Tonight I'm making a classic Russian staple (soup), It is called Lapsha. This soup is not hearty, it is light. You can make it with chicken, turkey, lamb or even beef stock. My favorite is turkey. Do not throw out those turkey bones, make Lapsha.
Russian Lapsha- made from turkey
1 package turkey necks in a stock pot covered with water
1 stalk of celery & 4 cloves of garlic pealed
Simmer for a few hours, you home will smell wonderful, I promise. At this point you can add a pinch of herb, thyme works well, but I usually keep it simple.
Strain broth, salt to taste and put it back on the stove, add a few egg noodles. I use Russian Lapsha noodles that are thin like angel hair pasta but flat and made from egg rather than semolina. You can substitute your choice of noodle. I order my noodles from ladies in LA that make them by hand.
Cook at a low simmer. They will expand and soak up the broth so don't add too much at first.
I serve this soup Russian style with sliced crusty bread & fresh butter, cucumbers and tomato sliced and tossed in fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper. This is usually a first course followed by a roast.
Enjoy and please share your favorite fall comfort food recipe with me :)
I called AR today for info, still waiting for a call back. Hope to hear from them soon.
Is there a better number for me to contact AR?
I'm paying $30 per month, would like to speak with someone soon.
When the guy from AR wanted me to become a Rain Maker he called me all the time, now I cannot get him to return my call the same day.
It's chilly, but not cold. When I first purchased this home, we decided on a fire pit for the yard. It is a few feet deep, surrounded by native rock and I love it.
My nails finally recovered from pulling all the huge watermelon size rocks out of the dirt to construct this thing! Every Fall and Winter, we enjoy it.
I also have a HUGE cedar tree, about 30 feet high and wide, one little cedar branch makes the whole yard smell like Christmas. Note: The cedar tree is VERY far away from my fire pit. We are smart like that :)
This is just another one of the joys of home ownership. I hope to help many others make their dreams come true in the coming years. You certainly cannot do this in an apartment!
