Yeah, sorry, busy Halloween Event day.

It was also a day of throwing together a serviceable chicken soup and what I feel were rather good grilled cheese sandwiches. The soup was largely leftovers and non-perishables, but I cheated and grabbed some chicken broth.  Half an onion from a couple of days ago, a couple of ears of corn … dekerneled? … from yesterday, some chicken from last weekend; fry the onion, toss in the corn and chicken, let it heat up, dump in the broth and some water, throw in all the spices you’re gonna throw, then add egg noodles once the soups about to boil. Get it down to a good simmer, then heat up the griddle for your sandwiches. Everything goes right, the noodles are nice and cooked by the time you finish flipping all the grilled cheese sandwiches*.

So, yeah, quiet day around the website here otherwise.

*Do not discount the grilled cheese sandwich!  There is a book (An Everlasting Meal) on cooking with more serenity and elegance that, after talking to you for quite some time about how to make confidently complex meals, gives you a good grilled cheese recipe so that if you’re having a bad day and everything is stupid and wrong then by God there’s going to be one recipe in that book that you will still be able to follow.  This was not my day; this was a ‘it’s Fall, so I’m going to have Fall food’ day. Although possibly I should have maybe not made so many sandwiches.

Nah. Worth it.

  1. Just as a tip, it usually works better if you add the spices after the onions are done, before adding the stock. Most spices are oil-soluble so not only do they bloom in the sauteeing process their flavors go into the oil rather than getting diluted by the water or stock.
