Really, I do make other things. Just the day before yesterday I made a big pot of fresh chicken soup. I went to the co-op and bought a local farmer-raised whole chicken and threw that in a pot with onions and garlic and water and barley and a teensy bit of cumin and rosemary and carrots and celery and kale, salt and pepper. When it was just about done, I threw in some chopped potatoes from the local Chase's Daily farm stand. These little potatoes, something like the Yukon Gold are completely chewy and slightly yellow in color. It made the broth a little creamy, but I didn't want them to completely melt into the soup so I let them cook about 15 minutes and voila! Supper!
John has had a cold running for about a week now and it seems that chicken soup is always a comfort and some people say has actual healing powers! He isn't well yet, but perhaps it helped. He's not worse either.
