So, today was a busy day. I made sugar cookies for one of my co-workers whose daughter is having her first communion - AND - John is sick, so I had to make him homemade chicken noodle soup.
The cookies were an interesting task- cross-shaped sugar cookies with edible glitter. They look...rustic- yep, rustic. They taste really good- and that's what really matters, right? I had to figure out that cookie frosting and cookie glitter must be treated just like Elmer's Glue and paper glitter- thin layer of cookie frosting, shake on the glitter- shake off the excess. Pics are below. Keep scrolling for the soup.
The Crosses were really interesting to work with
The Pink Ones
Packaged and ready to go
Now, for the soup. I made my own stock by boiling four chicken thighs, four carrots, four stalks of celery, 1 small onion, 2 cloves of garlic, fresh dill, rosemary (from my garden on deck), thyme (from my garden on deck) pink and green peppercorns, bay leaves, and salt. After about an hour and a half- there wasn't a whole lot remaining, but what was remaining was delicious! I pulled all of the veggies out, shredded the chicken, added some sautéed carrots and celery, leftover bowtie pasta, pepper and a little garlic salt. It was soooo good and John loved it! He should be feeling better soon!
All of this
Cooked down to this
And this was completely fantastic!
