Mu husband is on a diet that calls for precise food measurements. I needed 6 oz of rostisserie chicken so I bought two of them, portioned the meat and froze some for later in the week. Then I made stock from the bones and bits of meat leftover. I refrigerated it overnight and skimmed off the fat this morning. I'll use it for the next bach of soup. Even though the bones were cooked the stock came out quite tasty.

Yestrday I made a simple but yummy broccoli and leek soup. Add some garlic croutons and swirl of sour cream and dig in.

So, lets talk about a recipe for love. That's part of this book too. For true love to last it also needs the right mix of ingredients and must have the right amount of heat to turn out right. Granting that, are you a cook or baker?

I bake great pies, cakes and cupcakes but am terrible with cookies. (No patience for the precision it takes to make them look good.) I do like to cook and love to go to the pantry and refrigerator and create something new out of what I find there.
Speaking of food and romance: There is nothing like Italian for either one or both. Luscious!
Meredith, your book ,like food mentioned on the pages, is delicious and I hope to always be welcome at your table for a meal or a book signing.
