Nov 18 2014
Knowing it was going to be extra cold today I slept in. My
wife and I were both up and she said school was canceled today. She asked if it
was going to snow more and I said no. She said I may call Gavin, our grandson,
and see if he wants to go to Lima to a movie this afternoon. Lima is about 20
miles away. I said no, when they cancel school because of cold that means 72
year old grandmas stay home!
I was not sure what we were going to have for supper. I
thought about getting carry outs but didn’t want to go out in the cold to get
it, the high today was 18 deg. F I told the wife I thought I had enough to
throw some chicken and noodles together.
I checked the freezer and had a backbone and a large breast
half. I had a half pound of good noodles, onion, celery, carrots and about a
cup of chicken broth. I threw the backbone, and onion and two stalks of celery
in a pot of water and boiled for 45 minutes. I strained it and added the little
bit of broth I had, salt and pepper and poached the breast about 20 minutes. I
removed the breast to cool and added the noodles and some diced carrots. After
the noodles had cooked about 40 minutes I diced up the breast and added it back
in. After it came to a boil I covered and turned down to simmer until time to
eat.
I had some potatoes that needed used so I made mashed
potatoes with butter and buttermilk. I had some Grand’s biscuits I baked for
some bread and butter. My wife wanted soup so she had it as soup with some
crackers and butter. She always adds some ketchup to her chicken and noodle
soup; I won’t try that it sounds awful. I used a slotted spoon and had mine
over mashed potatoes. It tasted pretty good for just throwing some stuff
together, especially on a cold night!
