Saw Nights in Rodanthe with my MIL and SIL. It was good. Not great, but better than just ok. At the very least, entertaining and a workout on tear ducts. If you're susceptible to that. Did you see Diane Lane and Richard Gere in Unfaithful? So different from this one.
I've been learning how to make a basic potholder.

Since the weather is cooler, I felt like making comfort food. Have you had heard of Mulligatawny soup? The first time we had it was at the Spaghetti Factory. It's served every Thursday at lunch. I needed to find a recipe and the one I finally ended up with is a combination from one I found on allrecipes.com, one I found in Cooking Light magazine and making substitutions that suit our tastes.


Chicken Mulligatawny
1 onion
4 stalks celery
2 carrots
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoon curry powder
8 cups chicken broth
1 apple, cored and chopped
3/4 cup white or brown rice
2 skinless, boneless chicken breast half - cut into cubes
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup milk - nf is fine and what I usually use but use whatever you want including 1/2 and 1/2 if it suits you.
Directions
-Puree all vegetables
-heat oil in large stock pot and add veggie puree, cook for a few minutes.
-add curry powder and chicken stock. Mix well and bring to a boil. Simmer about 1/2 an hour.
-Add rice, chicken, salt, pepper and thyme. Simmer another 1/2 hr or until rice is done. -or- Simmer 2 hours for rice to thicken and become more 'hearty'.
-Add milk and apples, simmer 5 minutes. Serve.
Notes:
If you'd prefer your veggies chopped instead of pureed, then sauté veggies in oil for 5-10 minutes. Add 3 T flour and the curry powder to the veggies and sauté 5 minutes. Then add the chicken stock and continue on with step 2 above. You'll need the flour to thicken the soup. This makes a lot. You can 1/2 the recipe, but we like the leftovers.
And I leave you with snippets of the famous Seinfeld soup nazi episode:

You are too friggin awesome! I'm going to try that recipe!
I just took a sewing class and learned to use my machine! I'm so excited! I hemmed some jeans and will probably make a bunch of tote bags! Just gotta learn to sew in a straight line!
A love that Seinfeld episode!
MMMM soup! Soup is so JUST RIGHT now that the weather has started to get chilly.... well, not where you live but certainly where I live! I had some leftover cooked turkey last week so made a huge pot of veg soup by throwing in just about every veg I had in the fridge then added spices and herbs and the diced turkey....mmmm it was THE BEST! And I didn't even need a recipe!
Wow, aren't you domestic. Pot holders, soup. . . can I come live with you?
And the Seinfeld stuff cracked me up.
I love your potholders. I'm glad you liked the tutorial and congratulations on learning how to sew. Your pillows are lovely!
That actually looks like something I would enjoy, Mad, and not too hard to make. Thanks! :)
Minus the chicken, this recipe rocks! Im totally into soups now that the weather has turned cold.
Thanks!!

I am stuck on lentil soup....but I might try this recipe.
I saw Nights too. It was OK....I held the tears up to the last two scenes. Unfaithful is one of my all time favorites tho....even the music is awesome. I miss Seinfeld
