Soup?

There are very few options for pre-made soup in DK. They have a nice selection of frozen soups, but they are sold in family size bags. What I miss are the one-to-two size servings of canned soups. Especially when you're feeling a little under the weather, and just need a little bowl of chicken noodle to make you feel better.


This was my evening snack the other night. One of my favorite extremely easy appetizer-like recipes. Dark pumpernickel bread, topped with cream cheese, smoked salmon, red onion, and capers.


Christmas Eve day, Rich and I stopped at Chipotle and shared a carnitas burrito. So good.


And Christmas Eve dinner was prime rib, crab legs, cheesy potatoes, and salad. My mom and dad did a little recipe research and settled on the coarse-salt crusted way to cook the prime rib. The salt basically stops the juices from leaking out while its cooking. And that makes sense to me, knowing how the salt molecule hydrates. The end result was a very tender and juicy piece of meat, with a nice salt flavor on the edge.
