put a beef roast in a roasting pan, sprinkle with onion soup mix, pour in some water. Cover pan and cook 30 min/ pound at 300F
Corn Chowder
makes about 8 cups2 T butter or bacon fat
1 c chopped onion
1/2 t salt and pepper
1/4 t paprika
11/4 lbs potatoes, peeled and diced fairly small and cooked
2 c milk
2 14oz cans cream-style corn
1 c cheddar cheese, shredded -or to taste
Melt butter or bacon fat, add onion and cook until starting to caramelize but not too brown. Add seasonings. Add potatoes, milk and corn. Stir until heated through. But don't boil. Stir in cheese until melted.
If you have leftover potatoes this goes together really quickly. It's very yummy and freezes well.
I'll mention one of my favourite kitchen 'gadgets'. It's called the Simmer Mat and it's from Lehman's. It allows me to simmer things, like cream soups, without having to worry about it sticking and burning. My gas stove only goes down so low before it goes out, so the mat is heaven sent. I actually have 2 :)

Did you get that sleigh ride?
No, there was no sleigh ride. We did have plenty of snow left, the family live back in the trees so they kept a lot of snow. The guy that does the sleigh ride hurt himself a while back and his son was going to do it. But Sunday the son was home nursing the family with the flu! We had a good time though. The boys have a snow board hill, so all the little girls (4-7) were sledding. What a speed demon I have!!!! Ella was the only one brave enough to go on the plastics sleds (others just on their bums). Daddy had to be at the bottom of the hill to tackle her as she went by (otherwise she'd go flying right over the snow board jumps) Ella had so much fun -Mommy not so much, I was worried.
