I went to get the recipe out of my cob-web ridden recipe drawer and couldn't find it so I thought I'd look online for one. The first one that popped up was by the Pioneer Woman. From here on out, I'll call her Ree, 'cause we really are kindred spirits. See, I even have a pretty cast iron pot just like hers...
Here's here recipe. Looks good huh!
So I started digging out my ingredients and when it got to the chicken broth I had to make my own. Yep, got out the bullion to add to the boiling water. Luckily, it was a new jar so I popped off the protective cover and dug my teaspoon in to get the proper amount. When it says "granulated" doesn't that mean it should be like sugar, or sand?
Why does mine look like black tar heroin? I accidentally dropped some on the floor while I was taking a picture. Looks like Elmer's chew...
I went ahead and dug out 4 teaspoons and added it to the water. Man, that is NOT lookin' good. I figured before I added it to the soup I'd taste it 'cause it just didn't look right.
I noticed this code on the lid. Do you suppose that means "Void after 12/69? I wonder if this jar belonged to grama...
Guess what, it didn't taste right either. Luckily I found some bullion cubes from the 70s that I'm pretty sure were still good.
Ree suggested you add some sour cream. Not mandatory, but good. Good thing it wasn't mandatory. Expired 5/11. Guess that's how long it's been since I've had the kids over for tacos...
I wonder if Ree ever has contests for people who aren't really up to par on their cooking skills. I know she invites people to her place every now and then from contests. I'm thinking I could benefit from a lesson or two. If you see such a contest, let me know will you?
Get home soon honey! Mama cooked dinner!
Psssssst! If I'm not online in the morning, send the paramedics, would you?
