A grey sort of Sunday here, not really cold, but the right sort of day to start some bread, make some soup (thank you $5.99 Costco rotisserie chicken), and stock up at the library. Which is exactly what I did.
Chicken noodle soup, of course, the easiest soup on the planet since I always have celery, carrots, and some form of pasta. The bread – oatmeal, walnut, and raisin bread. I cut the recipe in half since Covid Times proved once and for all that I’m a bread addict. Good bread, that is, homemade bread, and one loaf will suffice. Needless to say, breakfast tomorrow is a no-brainer.
The turkeys dodged the soup pot, spending a portion of their afternoon pecking away in our backyard, and once our tree in back starts torpedoing nuts down, they’ll probably set up camp out there full time.
When I first saw this group I thought the three turkey bachelors had finally managed to score some lady friends, but closer inspection proved that this was an all-hen party.
Just found your blog through "One Day at a Time". I'm on WordPress http://www.tehachap.wordpress.com Carol Westover (aka Tehachap) I'm a blackberry addict from my childhood days at my grandmother's farm in Tennessee. Seeing those huge rows of berries was a mind blower!!! LOL Oh but what I wouldn't give to have that within driving distance of my home here in Tehachapi. Check my view on YouTube-- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIuWe4eTqaM Take care... and thanks for writing and sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour bread sounds delicious :)
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see so many turkeys, do they make a lot of noise or do they chatter quietly?
They generally just cluck quietly when near the house, but during mating season the gobble gobbles from the woods sound like a party going on.
DeleteYummmmm to home made bread. After my father retired he took up breadmaking and my mother woke to the smell of home made bread most days.
ReplyDeleteI am envious of your open libraries. I don't know when ours will open their doors again.
Rotisserie chicken for soup -- that reminds me.
ReplyDeleteYum from me, too! :-)
ReplyDeleteThat chicken soup sounds really appealing to me right about now! (Since I have a cold.)
ReplyDeleteSoup and books and wild turkeys! That's a complete life. Snd the bread looks great. I'm a bread fan,too.
