Homemade chicken soup with mushrooms and broccoli. Tomorrow I'm tossing some rice in and it's gonna be stew.

Condensed soup and half a grilled cheese. Really, though, it's just sustenance to accommodate the wine that's washing away the crappy day I had.

I'm sorry, Karen. I enjoy a grilled cheese and tomato soup every so often. I made a hamburger stew. It's comfort food for my son and he needed some extra loving.

Thanks, Mamie. I do enjoy a good soup and grilled cheese night, though my comfort is beef barley soup. I only wish I'd had some bacon to throw in the grilled cheese. Bacon always makes bad days better, LOL.

I've started steaming veggies and no longer want to toss them in butter, etc. I'm looking for ideas of what herbs/spices would be good to season them. Salt and pepper alone just doesn't cut it.

Lemon pepper is good on broccoli and asparagus. I love to steam them with that. Or some garlic.

Thanks Mamie. Now do you put it on before you steam or after? (And I even have lemon pepper in my stash but didn't think to use it; this is why I'm NOT a good cook )

Thyme is a nice addition to carrots, either roasted or steamed. I sprinkle it on after cooking. Mystery dinner tonight! Donners is out at the grocery store right now. I'm willing to bet that I'm having either chicken wings or ribs tonight (both are cooked in the same sweet-and-spicy sauce that Don's perfected, so chances are good).

Sounds yummy! I put mine on after steaming as well.

I was wrong! We went the cheap-and-easy route instead... he came home with one of those rotisserie chicken meals from Safeway. Gravy from the turkey stock left in my freezer from Xmas. Beer. Delish. Holly, I've also been pleased with using a mix of water and soy sauce for steaming liquid. Smash a clove of garlic (don't bother removing the paper) and throw it in the liquid as well.

Thanks, Karen. I'll definitely try that, and LOL Mamie. What, has Rev Al lost his appeal already?

Taco night and I've got the pico de gallo made so those flavors will be delightfully blended when we eat in a couple of hours.

We had taco night too, Teach, but it was Taco Bell. Had to run over to the little league field around dinner time and Taco Bell is about a block away.
