It was Halloween tonight and my family has been in several stages of illness all week, severe colds and a stomach bug. We were able to participate in the festivities and Brad took the younger two trick-or-treating while I passed out candy. Ely, our oldest, wandered the neighborhood with friends.
Today I threw together some chicken stock with a left over chicken carcass from Monday night, some celery, carrots, a couple of shallots and garlic, bay leaves and fresh rosemary. YUM! I let it cool during trick-or-treat and then came in a made some deliciously silky butternut squash soup while Brad and the kids went to bed. I had a taste, put away three and half quarts of leftover stock to be used in holiday cooking and have a nice pot of the soup for lunch tomorrow.
Off to bed. Promises to post more often.
