Untitled Hyena Chat thread part deux! - The Continuation

[tinkermell]

Okay, here goes!!!

4 large russet potatoes (peeled and small diced)
4 med red potatoes (small diced)
6 oz (2 large stalks) celery (small diced)
6 oz (1 large or 2 small) carrots (peeled and small diced)
1 med yellow onion (small diced)
2 oz unsalted butter
1 lb. bacon (rough chopped) **Tip, place slices of bacon in the freezer to make it easier to cut, will slip less**
16oz chicken stock or vegetable stock
32 oz heavy whipping cream
2 oz flour
1 oz vegetable oil
salt/pepper to taste

Somehow I just knew that something that yummy had to have cream in it! For Dave's sake, I need to cut that part down. He is seriously trying to be good, so I need to be good for him, and not tempt him with real cream soup.

Phooey!! How come everything that tastes sooooooooooooo good had some kind of rich dairy product in it?? Butter, cream, cream cheese, cheese, and mayonaise!! Oh and the bacon!!

StaleyFetus, I love it!! Yes Staley, I must know what you are having so I really don't care if you wanted to wait till the birth, I demand to know the sex ASAP. Thanks, by the way.

Good idea, like little parachutes. My luck he'd land in the pool if we're in BLDG. 1

Andrea

Dh wants to find out... So we are.

It's Hyena partytime tonight

BERNICE!!!!

DH, who I'm sure you all know is a huge computer geek, nicknamed DS7 in utero as "Version 2.0".

Of course when DS3 was on the way, he was "Version 2.1"...

How funny!

 

[disneegrl4eva]

Trust me, as soon as this is over, and everything ends well... dh is on his way! He already KNOWS!!!

How exciting!

Uhhhh... I kind of agreed after Mikalah (thinking she would be our last) that dh could name the next one. Now I get to look forward to some sort of geeky sci-fi name. I tried to get veto rights, but he wont even give me that.

[MATTERHORN]

Yeah, there is cream in almost any potato cheese soup unfortunately!! Sorry, let me know if you even want me to bother typing the rest! Bummer that he can't eat it, maybe you'll just have to have it when you go instead!

Am I sauteing the veges up first and then adding the potatoes and broth? And are the last ingredients a roux?

 

[MATTERHORN]

Hi Bernice! How goes it?

Andrea

 

[staley7580]

Booo... Dh just left for work. Now who will run down to 7-11 for my jalepeno cream cheese taquitos? I know... Its a wonder I have heartburn, huh?

now the bacon is on top so you could technically use turkey bacon melody

I will post the directions next, just takes a LONG time for me to type. Hold please ....Doobie Doobie Doo.....Doobie Doobie Doo....

 

[funnygarcia]

I wonder if you can sub evaporated fat free milk for the cream- it won't be as rich .. I've read that in other recipes that have been redone into lower fat ones.

What?! You fool!

All right, it will be OK. We can come up with all kinds of cool sci-fi names, don't you worry, baby.

 

[sameyeyam]

Yes, they do owe you something for that!! I'd even take PP!!



I agree Meg (sorry, I think that's gonna stick now!) my family was always trying to discuss everything that went on over the summer in front of the kids and I had to tell them numerous times. Do not be afraid to tell her that, you are protecting your kiddos!!

Andrea

Does anybody here have a mother that listens?? I remember telling my mother that it might not be a good idea to smoke a cigarette while she was holding DD (2 weeks old). She told me not to worry that she was blowing the smoke away from the baby!

andrea said something about eating ginger root to help with the naseau but i dont know about heartburn

Megan = Ginger Root for nausea! They gave me about 10 different anti-nausea meds during chemo. I wasn't vomiting, but still felt nauseaus. Finally the doctor recommended Ginger Root Capsules. Fred Meyer natural foods section had them, about $10 for a bottle. They were WONDERFUL. I would send you mine, but I just threw the bottle out a few weeks ago. Figures!

On another note... My mom is not a total hag. Really, the thing is about the size of a pea...

Now's there's a Hallmark Mome...My Mom is not a Total Hag.

Yep, the size of a pea flipping everyone off!
