Between the comments and emails, there is no way I could discontinue them&#8230;..happy to know they they are so loved.<\/p>\n<p>And if I am to be honest, I love doing them, yes, they take up a lot of time, I can&#8217;t lie about that. But, and its a big but, when I do sit down to write them, its almost therapeutic, its just me, my thoughts and my computer. No outside noise, just me in my little creative bubble. So no worries, I will carry on with them!<\/p>\n<p>Hard to believe its Dec 10th! We have gone to a couple of holiday get togethers \u00a0and the holidays are officially in full swing. \u00a0Going by awfully fast! We &#8220;braved&#8221; going into NYC and I cannot even begin to tell you how crazy it was. The traffic was unlike anything we have ever seen. It literally took 45 minutes to move 3 blocks. I kid you not. We still have PTSD from it:) \u00a0So I think we will stay away from the city until the holidays are over!! Looking forward to a lazy Sunday today until we have a dinner to go to tonight. Hope you weekend is a good one, onward to my post this Sunday&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">__________________________________________________<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1 CHRISTMAS AROUND HERE<\/strong> Moving along, and things are starting to look pretty festive around here!

ABSOLUTE FAVORITE WINTER SOUP<\/strong> If you want a really hearty and\u00a0exceptionally\u00a0delicious pot of chicken soup, then read on. I\u00a0promise this is sooooo\u00a0good. I always make an extra\u00a0large pot so I have some to freeze. Anyone I have ever served this too has said its the best chicken soup they have had. I may even make a new batch today!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-10-at-8.22.24-AM.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-120239\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-10-at-8.22.24-AM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"645\" height=\"494\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-10-at-8.22.24-AM.png 517w, https:\/\/wp.enchantedhome.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screen-Shot-2023-12-10-at-8.22.24-AM-300x230.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 645px) 100vw, 645px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>2 lbs chicken<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Knoors chicken boullion cubes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Fresh lemon (juice)<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Cluster of fresh dill<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>1 small tomato<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>1 med\/large onion<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>3-5 turnips<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>2-3 Yukon gold potatoes<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Salt and pepper to taste<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>5-7 carrots cut in 1&#8243; pieces<\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>Orzo or barley (about 2 cups cooked) I prefer orzo<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I will often double the above recipe as I like to freeze this in containers for future meals. Boil about half a large pot of salted water with the onion, chicken and 2 Knorrs cubes. One it has boiled for about 20 minutes, add half of the fresh chopped dill, the tomatoes and all vegetables. Season to taste. \u00a0About an hour after cooking, squeeze the juice of a whole lemon into the soup. Continue cooking for about an hour or more on very low\/simmer. I will have it cook on the lowest setting for at least 2-3 hours.<\/p>\n<p>Once it has cooked a few hours, add rest of dill. At this point I have cooked either orzo or barley in a small pot until its al dente and set aside. When I am ready to serve the soup, I use a potato masher to shred the chicken in the pot, then I put a few TBSP of the pasta on bottom of soup bowl and generously ladle the soup with chicken and vegetables on top. The pasta makes this practically a meal, as it makes it much hardier. \u00a0I will often sprinkle a little dill on top as a garnish. I promise this is AMAZINGLY good! If you sever it with a loaf of crusty French bread, this is a perfect meal.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>5 CABBAGE PLATE NEWS! <\/strong>It was so exciting to\u00a0get in our <em>gorgeous<\/em> green cabbage dinnerware, of\u00a0course a table setting is called for and I will be\u00a0working on that this weekend. As many of you have asked about the other colors I showed you we might do, it is official- we \u00a0have\u00a0pink, soft green and blue in\u00a0production! I am just thrilled with this\u00a0entire\u00a0collection&#8230;.the colors are all so pretty and can\u00a0easily be mixed and.\u00a0matched with other\u00a0patterns. We will get in the new colors sometime in late January\/early Feb.

And frankly, I find it equal parts fascinating and \u00a0scary. On one hand, it is helping to advance\u00a0science,\u00a0I read a few\u00a0weeks about\u00a0scientists using AI images of the brain to \u00a0probe the visual processes of the brain. I find that fascinating and it\u00a0could be groundbreaking with regard to\u00a0neurological disease.<\/p>\n<p>However\u00a0there are other areas that petrify\u00a0me, from the ability for\u00a0bias attacks\u00a0with no human oversight, job\u00a0replacements, privacy matters, almost no regulation. Even visionary Elon Musk asked that we put a pause on AI as it poses a\u00a0risk to humanity and society as we know it, and this coming from someone who truly thinks outside the box and is always ready to take on the next challenge. So curious what you think about the idea of AI.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.polldaddy.com\/p\/13083108.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/poll.fm\/13083108\">Your thoughts on AI?<\/a><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\" src=\"https:\/\/secure.polldaddy.com\/p\/13083108.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<noscript><a href=\"https:\/\/poll.fm\/13083108\">Your thoughts on AI?<\/a><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #a81919;\">As of 9am Sunday, our Holiday Deal of the Day #9 is on!\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #a81919;\">Buy this today, it ships tomorrow.
