I made soup #4 this week. Chicken stew with dumplings. Really, it's just chicken noodle soup without the noodles and dumplings instead. I also made Italian Wedding Soup. The kids used to really like this when they were younger, now, not so much. They loved the little meatballs in it and so did I.
The broth I made came out well, if I do say so. I roasted a chicken breast with the veggies and some water. I poured off that broth it made and then added a quart of Swanson's chicken stock. I had never made dumplings before and the kids liked that. Just followed the directions on the bisquick box. It was fun to watch them sink into the soup and rise back up. (See how interesting my life is....this is fun for me :P) Trying to think of a new soup for this weekend. Maybe chicken with wild rice, since my broth has been coming out pretty good.
I fixed the handle on the toilet by myself today. Major accomplishment for me, doing these type of plumbing things. I am trying to loosen the bolts on the seat to replace that.
Time for a cup of peppermint tea. I was out sick today and will go in tomorrow. I think my office mates will freak because I am coughing so much. I'll just walk around with purex wipes and "clean up" after myself.

Glad to see you were back today. It seems like this flu is really running through the school. ugh...
This sounds like a heck of a fun weekend...not to mention delicious!
And, also very impressive little plumbing handiwork. I have no idea how to do that kind of stuff. You go girl :)
Cathy,
Actually, it wasn't (a heck of a weekend). I am desperately trying to make the mundane seem fun.
The embarrassing thing with the plumbing, it was so easy, one of the kids could have figured it out and we went over 2 weeks with the toilet lid off, reaching into the tank and pulling the chain!!!
I can't believe I live this way!!!
