misplaced my gorgeous loop earrings...
itching to bitch bout one delusional witch...
currently overloading my system with my banana-nutella jaffles...
different parts of my abs are taking turns jittering...
feeling like an overstuffed potato sack 1 month before my engagement... its not supposed to be this way...
still stuffing my face with food, in any case..

its true wat they say bout chicken soup being the perfect remedy for ailments such as the cold. very comforting.. seen here, with oodles of much-loved spaghetti...




yana's lazy sunday chicken soup:

ingredients:

1 carrot: chopped
2 onions: chopped
1 stick celery: chopped
1 potful of water
white pepper
black pepper
dash of paprika
1 chicken stock cube
olive oil
salt
sugar
2 bay leaves
as many pieces of chicken as you so wish to eat
(button mushrooms a good idea too, cept i ran outta stock)

procedures:

as the title of the recipe implies, this is a real simple dish that u could easily prepare, even for those wallowing-in-self-pity times cos you are stuck at home with a cold and possibly, a husband who cant cook for nuts...

sautee 1 onion with oil in a large pot, adding the salt, sugar, black and white peppers, paprika and chicken cube when the onions have turned slightly transparent and soft. add in the chicken pieces. pour the water, add the carrots, bay leaves and celery and let simmer over low heat. halfway along the way, add in the other bulb of chopped onion into the pot and continue to simmer till boiled. voila... a recipe so simple, even barney can manage...

best sipped slowly while still piping hot. add noodles if so desired.

yum... contentment..
