Hey Miss G..
Glad you got some cooling for your office. I can imagine the traffic on the way in to work, then to have to sit in the heat?http://petoftheday.com/i/our_smilies/wink.gif

---

:D:D:D Yeah, there could be stall on the sidewalk....... Yes Mz Gini, glad to see hear that you will no longer sweat on the keyboard!!! :eek::D

So my toilet is the wrong colour. Had to take it back and argue with the guy that I need it in Bisque, not Bone. Problem is nowadays you can only get White or Bone. They've done away with all the colours. My bathroom is so small that I hit my boobs on the door turning around.... that being said, the toilet does need to match the bathtub. The saga continues.

So bartender, make it another double for me please. Oh dear there I go again. My Dad (RIP) used to say "never as for another drink - always as for a drink" Sorry Dad.

Hey PM...how was the party????

The party went really well, we had great weather, wonderful food (my husband always does marinated roast beef on the grill for this party, among other things, and people bring dishes, lots of good cooks in this crowd), a rousing game of croquet, a good jam session with all the musicians...just a really good night!

Now, barkeep, a coffee and bailey's with some of the left over desserts from last night sounds like a wonderful breakfast! ;)

Then it's on to the PT party next weekend! :D

Coffee, Bailey's and some dessert?

DONE!
Slick, how are your flanges this morning?:eek:

What a thing to ask a girl so early in the day. Specially before you even say Good Morning!!! :eek: :D

It was so cold, wet and foggy here last night and this morning. I'm having taco soup for lunch. How about a cherry limeade to wash it down? :D

You know, I really don't think that Slick's flanges are any of Richard's business anyway:D

I can't remember the last time I popped in for a Thursdays. Never mind that it is now Monday. :rolleyes: I am not laboring on this Labor Day but rather goofing off. Seems wrong doesn't it? :p Richard pour me a White Russian. I have no idea what that is as I have always had Black Russians and do love them. :p I am feeling a little sad about the Phillies lately, but hope springs eternal.... ;)

:eek:
Good Grief!

I guess that's why it's called 'Labor Day"!

And how much "help" did LH get from the "assistants," or did mom keep Lady and the kids out of the way? ;)

Cooler weather is definitely here, and I am loving it, now if the pollen would go away, that'd be even better.

It's always ironic when I log onto weather.com and there's a "High Pollen Warning in Your Area!" - like I didn't know that as soon as I woke up in the morning?

I know, though, that I am more fortunate than the Californians whose city is on fire, and many others, so I try not to grumble too hard!

I don't know. What's in a tortilla soup?
My taco soup has hamburger, a package of taco seasoning, a can of tomatoes, a can of corn, onion, tomato sauce and pinto or kidney beans. :D

Just for you MOFF! :)

Tortilla Soup Recipe
Print Options
Print (no photos)
Print (with photos)
Ingredients
6 (6-inch) corn tortillas, preferably a little old and dried out
1/4 cup grapeseed oil, peanut oil, other high smoke-point oil
1 small onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 medium Anaheim, poblano or jalapeño chile, seeded, veins removed, chopped (Depending on the hotness and flavor desired. You can also mix chiles - 1 Anaheim and a half jalapeño.)
4 cups chicken broth or homemade chicken stock
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes, undrained (recommended Muir Glen fire-roasted)
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt (kosher or sea salt)
1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
1 ripe medium avocado
1/2 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (2 oz) (or other mild, melting cheese)
Chopped fresh cilantro
1 lime, cut into wedges
Method


1 If you are starting with somewhat old, dried out tortillas, great. If not and you are starting with relatively fresh tortillas, put them on a baking sheet and put them in the oven at 200°F for 10-15 minutes to dry them out a bit. It is best to start with tortillas that don't have a lot of moisture in them. Cut tortillas in half; cut halves into 1/4-inch strips. In 3-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Fry strips in oil, 1/3 at a time, until light brown and crisp. Remove from pan; drain on paper towels. Reserve.

2 Heat oil remaining in saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook onion in oil 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add garlic and chile; cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables are crisp-tender. Stir in broth, tomatoes and salt. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 15 minutes. Add chicken; heat until hot.

3 To serve, peel and pit the avocado. Cut into 1-inch slices. Divide half of tortilla strips among 4 individual serving bowls; ladle in soup. Top with avocado and cheese; garnish with remaining tortilla strips and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.

Serves 4.
