Soup for the sick....errr...soul...

     A few days ago i made a lemon herb roasted chicken.  I hate to throw away the bones, so i refrigerated them until the kids were playing nicely together, napping at the same time, at daycare and the baby was napping.  I quickly threw the bones in the pot and then promptly forgot the rest of the recipe.  I quickly googled Ina Gartens chicken stock recipe.  I was missing a few items, but i used dried herbs and some tarragon.  I had a ton of parsley, so i threw in extra.
     Four hours later and the result was the most beautiful golden broth.  Not to mention the house smelled fantastic.  I think i'm going to use the broth in a won ton soup recipe i have. 

A little crafting update.

     As long as i can remember, my grandmother always made us our Christmas stockings.  Since she was not able to make one for Winnie i decided that i would love to follow in her footsteps. Of course i always assume i'm much more craftier then i actually am.  Luckily this pattern comes with helpful stitching instructions.  It was pretty easy to get the hang of.  Since Winnie is now about 8 months old i have more time to work on these projects, but also less time in some aspects. 

 

     Ahhh this baby gift.  Seems like i have a ton of trouble getting to it.  She'll probably receive this on her fifth birthday.  Poor kid.  It's the thought that counts, right?
