Way Out in Left Field Notes- Monday, November 6th.

 New York Times Easiest Chicken Soup..

Calls for ground chicken which I don't have....and NOT really a FAN of chicken soup.  He was.

Son and I did grocery shopping together. (a first)...I got the things I wanted and he added a few things.  I now have the components for another pot of the Vegetable Bean Soup.....I enjoy having the big jar in the fridge and a meal just a few minutes away (in the microwave)... I also admit to enjoying the peeling and chopping of vegetables.  I got potatoes, celery, carrots, Broccolini, green beans fresh and the rest of the vegetables in the freezer case or the store shelves.  More tiny pasta.  More stock.  I was thinking two cartons of stock but...didn't.  I could regret that as the week goes by.  But I also have what it takes to make Stanley Tucci's Mom's Easy Vegetable Pasta.  Which I like very very much.  I also have six Noosa Yogurts....and plenty of Bran Buds. I eat those two things together.  Very filling.

I called Atlantic Motor Car and now need to call AAA to have the Honda Fit towed to them for repairs. Son wants to drive it and not the big Jeep.  Making one cold call was fine- two is sort of putting me over the edge.....I might need a script for a mild tranquilizer going forward.

My Project for TODAY is to assemble the garbage and recycling for movement to the curb this evening. If I try for morning I never seem to get there soon enough.  My Second Project is to READ. Three is a Nap.

Two of the books I selected have "bombed" and that was a disappointment. But there are plenty on my own bookshelves......to keep me entertained.  Any of you have a favorite recipe I might find...easy and delicious?  son is wanting me to make Mac and Cheese and Baked Beans....A family favorite of his. I might do that today.  Let soup wait a day.......Cloudy with a chance of something today.
