unfinishe

I started taking pictures today of my process of making homemade cream of mushroom soup.

It really isn't hard!

Cut up some onion (or leek) and some mushrooms.

Saute' them until clear and/or soft.

Add flour and cook for about a minute.


Add chicken stock (white wine) and herbs.


And that is as far as I got before life took over.
I got so close!!
Really all that is left is to let it cook down a bit and add some cream!

I used my immersion blender to take down the chunks of my baby bella mushrooms and this ended up looking like some sort of gruel.
My kids just had to know what gruel was after hearing my husband make this proclamation.

My advice...use white button mushrooms until the peanut gallery becomes accustomed to your attempts at real food.

This became quite the dinner conversation tonight, with lots of laughter as usual.

Laughter! That is our Monday good to wow theme.

SOOC week 29 "Laughter"

I had to go to the archives for this one...though I did take the time today to work on this skill.

The only person around here was my middle son....well, and my dog.
Not sure if I could really get away with a laughter picture and the Shelbster!
That makes you wanna see her doesn't it??
Okay since you asked...

I do truly think she was just laughing at the squirrel which she has treed.
Tree'd? Tree-ed? Treed? Hmmm?

I better get, this post can't go any more downhill.
