My EZ Chicken Soup.

Gently boil Chicken in chicken broth, loaded with onions, garlic and a sprinkling of peppercorns.
Let chicken drain, and cool. Strain broth.
Season the broth to your liking, cut chicken.
Bring to boil the strained, seasoned broth, add fresh pasta. When pasta is al dente, add chopped chicken and enjoy. Or use rice. Sometimes I spice it up with some chile pepper.

I'm looking forward to trying your recipe! Looks easy and budget friendly!

As well with the chicken soup. oOoreBoOo, love that comfort stuff!!!

Avocado tip: To quickly ripen an avo, store with apples. I place them in a dish on my counter, and usually ready the next day. I have forgotten them, and found them spoiled in a few days.....

Another avo tip. You can freeze avo's. Mash them with some fresh lemon juice and salt. Freeze up to 6 months.

Yeah, we had avo, tom, bacon, egg salad for dinner.

The perfect boiled egg. Bring water and eggs to a boil, and let boil for 1 minute. Turn off heat, cover and let set on burner for 6 minutes. Run under cold water or set in iced water for another 6 minutes, peel and eat.

Home made pizza. Make it don't order it~ It's very easy! If you don't want to make the dough, then buy the frozen bread dough! Yup, we had pizza for dinner!

oOoREBoOo, yep, I've made pizza with bread dough. If you want very thin crust, take 2 extra large
flour tortillas spread some of your sauce on top of the 1st one. then some cheese, put the other tort.
on top of the 1st one, spread more sauce & cheese, and any other toppings. Get a large oven safe
skillet & heat to med hi, add 1tbs, olive oil and coat the bottom evenly. Put your tortilla pizza in the
pan and let the bottom brown, about 4-5min. Have your oven broiler on hi and slide the top of the
pizza under the broiler for 2-3min. If your skillet is not oven safe slide the pizza off onto a alum.
pizza pan. This makes very crispy thin crust pizza's.

Ozzie, can you cook for all of us? Please? Maybe Ozzie, Laszlo and Becky. MrOso said to stop in Austin if I'm ever in town and we'd have great BBQ. I wonder if he meant he would cook it or we'd get it? If cook it then I'll add him to my dream kitchen team.

Yes I will!!! We follow a motorcycle racing series. In the summer we go to at least 10 all over the
country. But there are 2 races close to home that are the biggest. 20,000 people. I cook for over
100 friends. I always cook Jambalaya for that many. Plus the main course. One year I cooked a
200lb. hog down in the in-field all night. I had it done about right when all my bud's showed up at
race time. I was so tired that I watched the races from my buddies motorhome with one eye open!!! LOL

Time to make a 600 lb. hamburger next. :-P

I think I'll save that idea for the last INSANEVEK MEAL!!! Might as well go out with
a BANG!!! LOL. Hope your having a great Saturday night!!! D.All SVR 'n' shit!!!
