Today’s Run: \u00a05.03 miles<\/p>\n
I have a friend who is ill. \u00a0I would say sick but some people call each other sick for the wrong reasons, so we will say “ill”. \u00a0This friend goes to the same church as I do. \u00a0She is an encourager to me so now it is my turn to be an encourager to her.<\/p>\n
I am going to fix her a meal this week. \u00a0She likes soup. \u00a0Broth based soup. \u00a0So…<\/p>\n
My husband and I drove this afternoon to Maben, Mississippi. \u00a0This is the only place around that cuts its own meat! \u00a0That means they have leftover bones. \u00a0Just what I wanted. \u00a0I called ahead (it is a two hour trip, on hour each way) and had them set aside 6 pounds of fresh beef bones for me. \u00a0They were very gracious and said that they would.<\/p>\n
We picked up the bones and drove home where I immediately began making a stock (these were beef bones, BTW). \u00a0It takes three hours to make a good, rich stock. \u00a0Right now, I have 38 minutes left on the simmering stage of the stock…then I will clarify the stock, chill it to skim the fat off the top and then proceed to the soup making stage.<\/p>\n
French Onion Soup!<\/p>\n
Mmmm, Mmmm, Good!<\/p>\n
I am going to bake her some bread tomorrow morning. \u00a0I need to do something about croutons. \u00a0Making croutons is a drag and seeing as I need to go to the store to buy Swiss cheese (NO-I do not make my own cheese), I think I will just pick up a bag of croutons for the soup.<\/p>\n
Pick up cheese, croutons and maybe some…cheesecake for dessert?<\/p>\n
I hope it makes her feel better!<\/p>\n
