I made this for supper last night. I added carrots, cauliflower, and little celery to it and OMG was it good. The whole time I was eating I was wiping away sweat and sniffling like crazy but boy was it good.

Do you know I tried this soup for the first time ever at PF Chang’s a month ago? Honestly, I have to say I really didn’t care for it. I liked hubby’s egg drop soup much better. But yours looks really good in that photo!!

I love thin crust pizza, so now I’ll just have to watch for your recipe!

Our 3 closest towns are 30 minutes away – east, south and north of us. What I hate the most is when I do go to town, with my list in hand, and I get halfway home and realize I forgot something!! Grrr. It just has to wait for the next trip to town, which sometimes is only once a week.

But I’ll never trade it to live in the city again!!!

It was actually the chicken run cover. Thank goodness it was the chicken coop roof. and Yep all my chickens are ok. Luckily noone was hurt, that would have broken my heart.

We are supposed to get blasted with a whole lot of snow this weekend, hope everything holds up. I bet you probably already have snow, are you supposd to get snow this weekend.

I’ve been making egg rolls for years! When we were stationed at our first base, I had a few oriental friends and from then on I was hooked on their food. Every where we went from then on I had Asian friends and I was the only “white” woman they invited to their get togethers for eating. They told me I must be half asian! lol I learned a lot about their cooking and still cook a lot of their foods. I haven’t ever “shared” the recipes because a lot of people don’t like the “sour” or “hot” foods that they eat. I make a mean kimchi soup you might like.

Penny I have never had that soup but yours looks so good. I may have to try it. Only my husband and son don’t like mushrooms, but my daughter do, so they may just have to skip it. that sounds so good and actually easy. I am always afraid to eat in Chinese rest. because I am not sure if they are really serving what they say they are. The last time me and a friend went to a local one a few months back and ordered a chicken dish and let me tell that chicken was white. I wouldn’t even taste it. wont go to that place anymore.

look forward to the pizza recipe also….

hope you get through the flooding. we have had such a mess, and I do not care for cold weather, but I wish it would stay frozen until spring so that way we won’t be slipping and sliding in the blasted mud and water. The whole top of my chicken run came off because of all the wind we have also had. My poor chickens…..

Julie – let me know what you think if you make it. I’ve also learned to make Lo Mein, Hunan Beef, and Egg Rolls. Amazing what you can do if you have no other choice! And I will try to post the thin pizza crust recipe in the next few days. Like I said – it’s not cracker thin like Dominoes, but it’s really not bad.

Cotton Lady – You’re getting snow???? Good grief, the whole world’s gone crazy! But yes, you can control the heat in this recipe. Don’t add any of the red pepper flakes, and leave off the chili/garlic sauce. Add a teaspoon of minced garlic instead, and I think you will be pleased. Let me know if you make it, ok?

SVB – Oh my. You’ve never had hot and sour soup??? Oh my. It seriously may be worth trying…… it really is one of my favorite soups….. Are you as saturated down there as we are here? We actually have flooding from that little bit of rain last night. Such a crazy winter……

I’ve never had hot and sour soup, but the recipe looks interesting. I may have to try it.

Thanks for the recipe, Penny. Am anxious to try it, but need the Wonton noodles first. Maybe tomorrow when I go to the city. I’m always afraid to try sweet and sour at a restaurant as have to be careful of too much spice-now I can control it mayself and enjoy. Looks yummy for a cold winter night, like this Thursday when we’re to get snow again in West Texas.
