Turnburnsis - 2017-11-09 6:28 AM Chandler's Mom - 2017-11-08 9:06 PM lonely va barrelxr - 2017-11-08 1:45 PM I roadraced motorcycles in my 'off' horse years.
I bake and cook. My brownies (no, not THAT kind!) are getting more and more famous, my Christmas cookies are really good (time to get my list ready for this year!), I kill a French Silk pie, and apple, and Key Lime. I have to make batches of chocolate chip cookies for the big shows as breakfast snack food. I also do a killer broccoli soup, shrimp and linguini that people request all the time, and a garlic/dill sauced salmon with garlic taters.  I think you should jump on that fancy machine and bring each of us a snack basket you made  Will you please share you broccoli soup recipe. I've tried one or two but cant get what I like. I usually don't have trouble but this one gets the best of me for some reason!
Steam fresh broccoli cut in small pieces and red skinned potatoes cut in small pieces.
In a big dutch oven melt a stick of butter, turn off heat, squash some fresh garlic and let sit in the butter for a bit (30-60 minutes). Remove the garlic, pressing the butter back into the pot. Add about a teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to butter along with 3/4 to 1 C flour. Wisk. Wisk in 3-4 C chicken broth. Turn heat back on and wisk constantly until some thickening begins. Add 2-4 C cream, half and half or whole milk. Heat back up until the soup thickens slightly. Taste test for salt at this point. Do not let it full boil. Add the steamed veggies and let the mix simmer on low heat for another while. Goes awesome with fresh Parker House rolls! Â
YUM!! - Thank you!! |

 Am I really the Weirdo?
Posts: 11181
Location: Kansas | I teach 9-12th grade special education. This is my 3rd year teaching and I've had 9th grade boys each year. Making it through the day, week, semester, and year without actually screaming at them is a talent I'm honing. :) In all honesty, I love my job, though there are certainly some frustrating moments.
Before this, I wrote for several newspapers and magazines, and still enjoy cranking out a few freelance pieces each year. In the summers, I usually write football team previews for Kansas Pregame magazine and those are a lot of fun. I must be good at them because even though the owner had to lay me off from a full-time job, he emails me at least 30-40 team previews to write every summer. |

This whole week has been rough! I think the time change is messing with everyone. Last night is the first night I didn't crash on the couch after chores LOL. |

| I love to cook and bake! I bake two, three, and four layer cakes for all my family's birthdays, special occasions, etc. I love making cupcakes, and am starting to get more into cake decorating. I make a mean chicken alfredo that is always requested, and a great spaghetti sauce! |

I'm an EMT and am constantly amazed at how much our dispatchers manage-just keeping one scene straight is hard enough for me most of the time haha. You're amazing!! |

I am so thankful for you EMTs/first responders and LEO, there is no way I could actually be "out there", dealing with the people and seeing it all  That is truly a talent! What state and area do you work in? |
