Soup. No Sandwich


The subzero weather is back. For today. I made a hodgepodge soup yesterday, finding I had only a small amount of lentils, I had to use beans as well. There is enough for today, which is a good thing considering the cold weather. I'm going to make stock again today. I need to get some of those bones and vegetable bits out of the packed freezer. 


You know you are getting old when your week is a series of medical appointments. PT for me on Monday, primary for Mark yesterday and the dermatologist today. Last week was his urologist. He has a couple of 'gists. We have become one of those!

May the day be a good one for us all.

Yes, when medical appointments overtake meeting friends for coffee!
Soup is just right now.

Yes, the first sign you have crossed over to senior, Boud! We are having soup again today, with more stock simmering.

I am hoping to be done with urologists after this spring. It would be nice.

Looks like a yummy hodgepodge soup! Those are the best kind.
Beef & veggie soup in the crockpot for me today. 8 degrees! We are above zero! And yes--appointments become the norm for a lot of us. Gives us something in common, I guess. CTscans for me Friday. Fingers crossed my body lets me get there--lol!

Tossing leftovers into a pot is a good way to make hodgepodge soup.
Soups are awesome to eat in the winter, you can have everything in one dish/bowl.

Thankfully we are not solidly booked with appts like that, but we did have our share in December. Lucky for us, most of them were actually virtual.

By Saturday we are supposed to possibly get up to 31F !!!

Join us old people. We are done for the week with only four appts this week which is better than last weeks five...a downward trend is good:)
