Stone Soup
Today was a 'snow day' at the Wandering Wardrobe. I was afraid we couldn't keep the snow off the sidewalks and porch. Our customers' safey was more important than opening today, so I stayed home and cleaned a couple of drawers and closets. I hope our consignors did too, and that I'll be busy tomorrow.
The weather was perfect for making a big pot of homemade soup, but not for going to the grocery store. When our girls were little, one of their favorite stories was "Stone Soup", and I decided that if that old woman could make soup out of nothing, so could I. I dug through the refrigerator, freezer, and pantry, and came up with the fixings for one great pot of soup. No recipe, just a bunch of stuff in a pot.
Here's what I did, and what you could do to make this delicious soup: saute' one onion in about 2 T of butter. Add one garlic clove. Add 1 can vegetable stock and about 4 cups of water. Add 1 large can whole tomatoes (I used our very own home canned tomatoes!). Add 4 or 5 beef bouillon cubes. I added a beef soup bone because Kenny doesn't consider anything made without meat to actually be a meal, but you don't have to. Add some chopped celery, carrots, purple cabbage, and any other vegetable that's in your crisper. Add frozen or canned green beans, corn, mushrooms, and/or brocolli. Add some red or great northern beans. I added an old package of frozen asian noodles, and I actually think this is what made the soup so good. I seasoned with salt, pepper, basil, bay leaves, lots of seasoning salt, and sugar.
I made homemade cornbread muffins and added a cup of leftover pumpkin puree' to the mixture. Oh my, they were good.
I made that soup and muffins with bits of leftovers, and it was as good a meal as I've ever made.

It's SO Much More Fun. . .
to receive a gift with a bit of history.
Years before we owned our resale shop, Kenny figured out that gifts with a bit of history were lots more fun to give and receive than anything new. I love the old bowls, quilts, and santas he finds every year. Knowing these treasures have been used and loved by someone else makes them mean so much more to me than anything he could purchase at a local department store.
This year at the Wandering Wardrobe, our consignors have provided an amazing and ever-changing selection of pre-owned treasures - santas, snowmen, nutcrackers, nativitys, angels, bowls, pitchers, platters and quilts. . . and the history is free.

"Refashioned" Shepherd's Pie
One thing you need to know is that Kenny does most of the cooking at our house. I used to be an excellent cook, but over the years, as the Wandering Wardrobe grew, he got home earlier than I did, took over most of the cooking, and has surpassed me in the kitchen. But every once in awhile, I get the urge to cook dinner. Yesterday, I made a rump roast and potatoes and gravy. Since there are now only three of us living in our home, we had leftovers.
Thank you Paula Deen for suggesting the recipe I made today. She called it "Shepherd's Pie from leftover beef roast and potatoes and gravy". I call it "Refashioned Shepherd's Pie". This recipe is perfect for me, being that I sell used clothing and other stuff.
This is how you do it:
Saute' one onion in 2 T. butter. Add the left over beef roast, chopped into bite sized pieces, and the left over gravy. Heat until beef is very tender.
Spray a 9 inch baking dish with "Pam". Spoon the left over mashed potatoes into the dish and spread evenly. Add 1 package of frozen vegetables that you have microwaved until tender. Add the beef and onions, and add 1 small can sliced mushrooms, if you wish. Mix two cups biscuit mix with 1 1/2 cups milk, and pour over the top. Melt 3 T butter and dribble over the top. Bake at 350 for 35 to 45 minutes. Serve.
The picture here belongs to Paula Deen, but I think mine was even prettier. I should have taken a picture.

The 3/50 Project
Have you heard about the 3/50 Project?
The 3/50 Project encourages people to shop locally. When we shop locally, the money we spend stays in our community. For every $100 we spend locally, $68 is returned to the community.
When we spend in a national chain, only $43 remains in the community. And, of course, when we buy online, nothing stays home.
So pick 3 businesses you would miss if they went out of business. Spend $50. Save our local economy.
For more information, check out http://www.the350project.net/home.html
