It has been a long week for all of us but especially Danny...and it was only Wednesday! As I thought about what to feed everyone I knew a sure-fire pick me up for my people. I gathered a few essentials: sourdough bread from the freezer, golden potatoes, an onion and I knew we would enjoy a nice meal together. Danny's grandma (Grandma in Las Vegas) ran a busy catering business until very recently. She is an excellent cook. One of our favorite meals is her potato soup. It is sure to make Danny a happy man!
1 cube of butter
3/4 to 1 c. of flour
7 c. water
7 chicken boullion cubes
7 potatoes
diced onion
shredded carrots
half and half (I use cream 9 times out of 10)
melt butter...stir in flour...add water slowly...add b.cubes, potatoes, onion, carrots. When potatoes are soft add half and half. Serve hot with sourdough bread and butter :)
Well, it worked. Danny was in heaven. The girls ate every bite and our week seemed to slowdown---even if it was just for that one meal. Grandma has been sick for the past few months with colon cancer. Sophie talked to her last Sunday. She has prayed for "Grandma in Las Vegas" every single night. Grandma thanked her Sunday. It was sweet. We love you Grandma!
