DINNER? UM?

We are still celebrating Christmas at my house. My camera was weak. Last night dinner was simple, polish sausage, cream corn casserole, biscuit. Tonight I wanted to make it extra special so I made prime rib with buttered artichokes. I did not add any herbs to my prime rib just simple salt & pepper and garlic of course. I baked them @ 300 for an hour then 350 for two more. I bought a big prime rib at Winco. They were on sale. I have plans for the left over prime rib sandwich, stew, and my favorite chili.

CHANTERELLE MUSHROOM

Sunday morning on my way home from church I saw a sign that was advertising: Chanterelle Mushrooms for Sale, For those of us that share the Love for Mushrooms and believe me there is a few of us out there. The sound of Chanterelle Mushroom ....ahh....music to my ears...and my son Alfonso loves mushrooms as much as I. It was a beautiful day and the house selling the mushrooms was less than a mile from my house I decided to walk with my boys, and we did, when we came to the house the mushrooms were in a cooler. I inquired how much the mushrooms were and the lady said $10.00 a pound WOW! Short on cash and I can see my son's interest on the mushrooms I ended up buying 1/2 pound. As we were walking back home I was asking myself how can I make this 1/2 pound mushroom to feed 6 people? Wait last night I made slow roasted chicken with potatoes, celery, carrots, garlic, salt & pepper and I had sufficient left overs to get creative for dinner. I can make soup. Yummy in my tummy. It was 12:00 and I had enough time to cook this soup on low for 4 hours so the actual flavors can mingle and be friendly with each other. I made the soup with lots of Love slowly cooked boy did my children love it. Dinner was super yummy and it only cost me $5.00 for the mushrooms! I did good with my budget
