NOMADICISTA

This is gonna be a good one.

1 lb beef eye of round steak cut in to 1/2 inch cubes.

1 quart beef broth (you can get it at the supermarket) 1 quart water

1 potato sliced and quartered

3 stalks celery sliced in to 1/2 slices

3 cloves garlic chopped finely

30 baby carrots cut in to three sections

1/2 onion diced

1 tbsp rosemary

1 tsp oregano

1 bay leaf crushed

1 tbsp salt

1 tbsp pepper

It is 5:30 pm now, so I am going to leave the crock pot on high so that I can ring in the new year with this wonderful concoction.

Here is a photo of my cutting knife and my cutting board (a piece of half inch plywood). Below that is a photo of the beginning of the soup. I had not put in the beef yet.

Sounds great, A new years pot of soup

Rudy, you can leave the bay leaf whole and pull it out when cooked.

Stuart, I know that's what most people do with bay leaves. I don't mind crushing it up. It really doesn't show up in the end product.

I had a bowl last night around midnight. It is very good. I may have put in too much Rosemary. I don't mind though. I get fresh Rosemary from a friend's bush. I just strip the "leaves" from the stalk. I should get another three servings out of this pot. I am going to have some more this morning.

It is 8:30 AM and it is 22 degrees outside. Luckily, the sun is shining, so the bus will get warm soon. I will wear my Carhartt overalls to walk the dogs this morning, and then I will have some good soup.

It is now 2010, and the computer did not crash. It also did not crash at Y2K.

This soup is fantastic. It is spicy. I am glad that I did not put more than a tablespoon of pepper. Here is a photo.

How could some that looks that good not be good foor you

I don't even need a woman to fatten me up. It's that home cooked food that is doing it to me. My pants are starting not to fit. OH NO! Now I have to go to Goodwill and buy another mountain of clothes.

It will always be something with you huh

Well, my weight will be something that will always be with me. I think what is happening is that I eat giant bowls of this stuff. I had a can of Progresso Lentil soup the other day, and I noticed that it was about half the amount of servings I dish out for myself with the crock pot stuff. Moderation may be the key maintaining slimness.

Aw shucks Rudy, a little more of you will give that little lady just a little more to love when you find her!

WHEN I find her? DB, you are optimistic.! If I find her, is what I think.
