Potatoe soup day

Monday house cleaning went well as always. Laundry, dusting, vacuuming, and just overall picking up. I felt bad that the guy that comes and sprays the house for spiders came early enough that he saw the house a mess. Well a mess by my standards. Justin reassured me that he has seen the house a whole lot worse. I know this but its still my home and I like it to be nice. Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty uneventful. Yesterday I made biscotti. They turned out OK. It will take time to perfect a good recipe. They are a little crumbly. The hardest part is cutting them in thin strips without breaking the full log. I am not sure if the nuts caused them to be crumbly or if it was just the recipe. They were good for breakfast this morning.

I went ahead a vacuumed the floors again today. There was a bit more fur rolling around than normal so it seemed a good idea. I had a ton of dishes to do today since I didn't mess with dinner dishes from last night. So I got all those done in enough time to start soup today.

Take Your Time Potato soup

Quantity depends on how much you want to make. This recipe is one of those that you just have to make it to how many people you are feeding.

Potatoes
Onions
Bacon
Milk
Butter
Water
chicken Broth

Spices
bay leaves, salt, white pepper, garlic, dill,

Turn stove on low, this soup cooks all day. In pot put chicken broth, butter, bay leaves, garlic, chopped onion, let this heat up. Once it is heated up chop up bacon add it with milk. Let it heat up add other spices. Just let it sit for an hour or so. Peel and chop potatoes add to soup. Leave on low all day. The soup is done when potatoes are soft keep on low for as long as needed.

I am paring it with home made biscuits. Overall its just an easy, hearty meal that tastes good but isn't going to keep me in the kitchen all day. It just looks and tastes that way
