DID EVERYONE SURVIVE CYBER MONDAY? ...
Personally, I Avoided It!

Today's Cooking ...
All Ladies: http://www.recipezazz.com/…/sweet-savor ... y-white-be… w/toppings (cilantro, lime, sour cream, olives); salad w/creamy avocado vinaigrette (new recipe), corn bread

Me: I had my TDay leftover potato soup last night; so, back to my short rib (freezer stash) cheesy pepper hoagie; homemade pickles; fruit

I'm also, helping my friend bake 10 pans of cobbler to deliver to a local womans shelter today. His sister actually stayed there; so, he does this 4-5x/yr. It's a simple 3 ingredient dump type of dish; but, delicious. We also take whip cream to finish it off.

I made the soup by using some of my seasoning blend (a mix of onions, celery, red/green bell peppers), leftover mashed spuds, ham, frozen broccoli, broth, cream; and, finished with some cheese. Easy way to use up TDay leftovers.

Turkey soup tonight

[Kchurchill5]

I think we all need a break from the heavy turkey days; and prep for Xmas. I know I am taking a little lighter time off.

CAN YOU BELIEVE ... IT'S THE END OF NOVEMBER!
Xmas Is Only 25 Days Away ...

Today's Cooking ...
Me and 4 friends cooking for a local shelter - we do this 4-5x/yr. We all cook, then deliver to the shelter; and, 2 of us stay behind to help serve.
We get local farms and stores to donate, the NOT SO perfect veggies, a few cash donations; and, we buy the rest.
- This year serving about 150 people/20 gallons Mexican tomato soup (corn, 3 beans, cilantro, sour cream); iceberg wedge w/creamy avocado vinaigrette (1 avocado, 1 lemon, 3/4 cup oil, 1/4 white vinegar, 1 t dijon, s/p); 3 cheese/pepper quesadillas; Mexican chocolate pudding w/cinnamon whipped cream and wafer cookie.

We use 3 turkey fryers for the soup; so, only 3 batches. It's almost done. The pudding done too. So, it really isn't that difficult. We take all the dishes/flatware too, so they don't have to use their own.

Me: Sausage tortellini tossed w/onion, sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms, swiss chard with a light cream sauce; cucumber salad - or, I could use basically the same ingredients minus the cream in a beef broth; more of a soup. We will see what I feel like.

I had some leftover thick-cut pork chops. So I sliced them thin, cooked them in beef stock for about 1 1/2 hours, sauted onions, green peppers, mushrooms and garlic, and added them to the pork. Thickened with a corn starch slurry and served it over rice.
