und like a very heavy lifetime smoker

When I’m at that stage I prefer to think that I have the husky voice of a '40’s film diva!

The meals sound wonderful! Hope your Fathers health issues improve quickly!

The household authorities announce that there will be dessert.

I guess it’s Madame H.

Another huge batch of chicken soup was made yesterday because my husband caught that pesky pink eye and a sinus infection to boot. I am shocked that a week later he was still able to catch it.

Same here, Mister N caught the same thing…

I feel like we could break this out into a separate hopefully fun thread - what’s in your fridge/freezer right now (no styling allowed)?

We have a thread on that… Found it.

What’s in your fridge? And what would you make from someone else’s fridge photo?

So there’s this (formerly) great column of what’s in the fridges of various notable people that I always loved- now it has devolved into curated and often sponsored posts- but it got me thinking it would be fun to share here what’s in YOUR fridge! And to make it more fun comment on other posters’ fridge photos what you would make using what they have!

And I love food shopping the way some folks like to shop for clothes. I could go everyday (I go every 2-3 days).

Yup! My mother would drag me to JoAnn Fabrics for hours. Now, I drag my family members to grocery stores for hours.

I live with someone who shops this way!

Korean? Lettuce and all else beef wraps. Tasty but hard to eat.

We are back to cool weather so I pulled the borscht components from the freezer, combined and it is finishing off at a slow simmer. So far it tastes great! Should be even better tomorrow. Crusty baguette on the side and tangerines later for dessert.

Love borscht! What ingredients did you use?

These are take-aways from the conference?

I made a pork and beet based version from the cookbook of an Ukrainian restaurant located in NYC, Veselka’s. I always order this when I eat there!

This is the recipe:

Veselka’s Borscht

The above doesn’t include the separate recipe for the beef stock:

BORSCHT!.... Oh, wait.

Thanks, will try it out soon, maybe next week! I had only beef version, pork is new to me.

They were for me. I have been one of those replace carbs with red meat people, and loving every minute of it!
