With a little salt pork I’ll take out soon. As of tomorrow-ish, this will be soup. I just haven’t decided on whether it will also contain meatballs, baby limas, or turkey meat.
I”m thinking baby lima beans. That way we save the turkey for sandwiches, and the ground beef for I’m-not-sure-yet-but-I’ll-know-it-when-I-think-of-it.

Quote of the Year:
"I dash all of my fury, all of my love, all of my passion against the cross of Christ, and settle beneath their shards and fragments as they rain down upon me, and pass and bite and dissolve. And I pray, most particularly for the event or the person or the feeling that has roused my headstrong, foolish passion and lured me toward the illusion, and away from detachment, wherein is found humility and tranquility; wisdom and peace.
And because I am no saint, because I am so flawed, all of that only brings me up to the ground-level. My evolution is still in such a primitive stage that I am merely eyes in mud, staring into heaven, unable to do much to lift myself; altogether one with the muck."

You can never go wrong with garlic. Mr. Potter hated garlic eaters–wouldn’t you rather be on the side of George Bailey?
Lima beans need an onion cut up in ’em, too, and a couple of bay leafs. Can’t cook beans without bay leaf, it’s the rules. If you don’t put bay leaf in the International Bean Cooker’s Union will picket your house.
