We had rain most of the night and today drizzly and overcast all day high temps 52F. A good day to make a large pot of chicken Barley soup. I do have the bones from 3 chickens I have cooked (2 last night). And Sandy has a large pot perfect for lotsa soup to share with them.Got this going just after 6 am, and let the bones simmer for a couple of hours. to get all the flavour and goodness out of them to make a nice tasty broth.
While the bones simmered a quick trip to the No Frills in New Hamburg for a few more veggies and stuff.

| hey buddy whatcha looking at? |

| love a home-made soup |
Back home I thought today is another good day to work on purging my photos, still drizzling, cold and cloudy. On my old Mac book and backing them up on a 128GB sd card we bought on sale last week, This works pretty slick. I can save quite a few years of pictures on this tiny SD card. Finally I had enough of that computing, checked a few emails and a few short walkabouts the yard.

| tasty? yup it was |
Then to wind up a nice day with a wonderful feed of excellent chicken wings, fries and a caesar salad.
No visible sunset tonight, still drizzly, cold and cloudy, just like it has been all day. The forecast for the rest of the week promises to be sunnier and a bit warmer, we will enjoy that I am sure.
So will enjoy a bit more reading our e-reaaders and watch the tube for a bit. and call it a night.
Glad you stopped by for a look see and check us out, hope you had a decent day as well.

Where have we been this summer?
You made the best of a not so nice day here in Ontario. Soup and wings I call comfort food and computer work are best done when there is no urge to go outside. I dove today into the book "The Inside Passage" by Ted Higuera and don't have time to do anything else until I finish it ;-)
ReplyDeleteI did get things taken care of nicely, yeas the soup and wings comfort food,, gotta get back on my healthy eating routine again. I like to read outside mostly and was too chilly for that and these things needed to be done on the computer.
DeleteA good book is hard to turn down, when you get right into tit.
I also made a nice big pot of chicken n barley soup today with lots of veggies. And yes I bought bone in chicken. The house smells wonderful.
ReplyDeleteWay to go JO that soup will make you feel better in no time, and bone in chicken is the best way to make it , lotsa veggies too enjoy.
DeleteIt's getting to be soup time of year. Honestly, I've never been a fan. Seems I eat soup and thirty minutes later I'm back for another bowl ... kind of like Chinese food!! You did the chicken wings right though ..... go out and buy them!! LOL
ReplyDeleteSoup time is any time in my books, but cooler weather is even better. I used to be like that before, now I find a good hearty bowl on homemade soup does it for me.
DeleteI would have made the wings for the 2 of us but for 4 this was easier, plus they were buying, lol....
Good looking soup George! I bet it smelled delicious inside! Dinner looks good too for a nice treat! That's great you were able to get pics transferred too and a few more things done inside. Those days are good for some things so you don't feel guilty about being inside :)
ReplyDeleteIt did smell very nice inside and tasty too. Getting things done inside is always great when the weather is conducive.
DeleteIt's just amazing how much data you can store on those tiny SD cards. Seems impossible. ;c)
ReplyDeleteIt is really amazing sure gotta love this new technology.
DeleteAlways nice to get your computer organized. I really need to do that, I have so many things bookmarked that I never look at any longer. Some day....
ReplyDeleteThe weather was conducive for that, and my new one is pretty clean. Don't much use bookmarks anymore.always new sites out there to check out.
DeleteHere we go again. I received one blog and then stopped. I think I'm going to try and unsubscribe and re-subscribe and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteFrank . I am bot sure why you are having a problem I get over 1.000 page views a day and a lot of comments.,
DeleteYou gave me a great idea! I'm making ham and vegetable soup to wait out Hurricane Florence. We are in tropical force winds zone, not hurricane force winds (unless it begins to turn south). Some macaroni salad sounds good, too. We have our old Weber BBQ to heat up the soup if we lose electric.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you can make things work we can always find a way. Good luck with Florence, hope it misses you.
DeleteThat was a perfect soup day with the rain and drizzle. Also a perfect reading day.
ReplyDeleteI pulled my homemade tomato soup out of the freezer the other day so had that for lunch. Yum.
Nothing quite like homemade soup.
