Soup...
Cleaned out the pantry today and found several cans that were WAY past date and 2 small cans of crab that were in their last month...Having just gone through the soup, I was in the mood, so decided to find out what was left over from Thanksgiving, etc...
Cubed (1/2 inch) two Irish potatoes, chopped 3 leftover scallions and cooked them for about 5 minutes in a couple tablespoons butter and 1/2 tsp salt...
Deglazed with about a cup of pink moscato---only lightish wine I had...Added about 1.5 cups seafood stock (I am a fanatic about keeping fish, veg, beef and chicken stock in the pantry---Kitchen Basics). Added 1/2 tsp thyme and 1/4 tsp pepper. Added crab. simmered about 20 minutes. Mashed up w/ potato masher...
Added a cup of milk and 1/2 cup heavy cream and a couple T tawny port---I'd have used sherry but couldn't find any...brought back to a boil...mixed 3 T flour with about 1/3 cup stock and stirred in...
Good beyond belief. Used up some stuff that was fixin' to go bad. Nice.
Oh, dear...It's a Poor Old Thing...

About Me
- romanreb
- I'm a Catholic. That defines all else that I am. It is my heritage, my cross and my joy. It drives and colours all that I think, say and do. I didn't get this way by any logical procession, but miraculously and through God's overwhelming Mercy and Grace. It has been far easier for me than for most people---I think because I had less to work with and He is merciful. Sometimes the sheer Glory of it all presses down upon me so that I can hardly breathe... In addition, I am a wife, a mother a Texan and a faithful child of the Confederate States of America. I am a descendant of Chivalry and a denizen of Christendom. In short, I do not live in your "real world". But in the words of Puddleglum, my playworld "licks your real world hollow. That's why I'm going to stand by the play-world. I'm on Aslan's side even if there isn't any Aslan to lead it. I'm going to live as like a Narnian as I can even if there isn't any Narnia...."
