Clearing out the fridge before vacation, made some chicken salad soup.
Chopped up the last onion, scallions, garlic cloves, carrots and
celery, found a couple of quarters of peppers, sauteed the daylights
out of them all, and then threw in the chicken with water to cover.
teaspoon of salt, teaspoon Mrs dash couple shakes paprika, threw in
the leftover gemelli and marinara sauce (chunky), and dang was that
good.
Finished off the last of the tuna-bean pate, made another loaf of
bread so I don't have to do it when I get home (it's in the freezer).
and then there was the yogurt.
I don't know what I did wrong--maybe it was drying the container with
the dish towel, but when I took it out this morning, I had yogurt
strings rather than the custardy consistancy I ususally get. Threw it
in my hot cereal anyhow, nuked it to a fare-thee-well, and haven't
died yet.
Should probably chuck the rest and buy fresh when I get home and start
anew. That way I won't have to deal with whatever grows in there
while we're gone.
