soup days and a wequest fow help

I just got back fwom my walk, and I almost fwoze my feets off..I had on my nice coat, but it's fwigid out thewe!!!!..you get an ice cweam headache, without the benefit of yummie ice cweam..so stay in evewyone!!!
I had Mommi soak the pinto beans ovew night, then aftew making a base of sauteed ,diced onions..we added a little sweet hungawian paprika...now we'we weady fow the west of the stuff..cawwots, pawsnips, and beans
A good chef has to move quickly and be evewywhewe in the kitchen
You have to add the soaked beans and ham hocks(if you'we a vegebawian, please excoose this pictoowe)
testing the fweshness of ingwedients is vewy impowtant
Mommi makes these little dumplingy thingies..I didn't help with the mixing..you need fingews, hehehe....you mix eggs and flour and cweam of wheat and a little salt and make a hawd dough, and then pinch bits off and twist in youw fingews if youwe a hooman ...then you dump them in the soup
I pwomise it tastes bettew than it looks..miammmmmmmmmas Faya would say
Time to go eat!but fiwst I want you to please go to Jan's funny fawm and wead about a little kitty who needs ouw help..PLEEEZ...thank you and stay wawm!

Oh, Asta, first you make us hungry and then you make us cry. Thanks for the link to help Pepper. Our Jan knows how Pepper's Jan must feel. And your mom evidently does too.

Looks yummilicious! I just loooooove seeing Mommi's wonderfully delicious cooking.

*Wail*, SS, why can't you cook like that?

Pippa said...

Yum.. we have those bean foods too. I love them for my breakfast with my biscuits.

You must help as much in the kitchen as I do.

Hi Asta
I've missed you !!!
Your soup looks delicious .. I love eating mum's home cooked meals.
Mum is helping me try to catch up with what everyone has been doing but the compooter internet connection keeps dropping out all the time. Mum is trying to sort this out now. Compooter drive her crazy .. if it's not the power board, it's the connection or the modem, or something else.
Take good care of yourself, sweet Asta.
Love from Hammer

I feel so bad that it is so nice and warm here and its totally freeezing there. At least you got some yum yum soup! Mom is mostly German but I swear she must have some Hungarian in here because she sure loves to put sweet or hot paprika in everything!

Noah the Airedale said...

Sounds like just the thing to warm you up Asta. We wouldn't mind some soup ourselves. It's pretty chilli here at the moment. The last day of summer and we had a high of 13 degrees (that's 55 f) in the mountains...thats cold.

Hey Girlfriend!!! I couldn't get to the puter yesterday...Mumsie left here at 4:30 AM and put me (obviously) in charge of the boyz...it's so much work...but everyone behaved...I made sure no dog terrierized the dog sitter...I told ya we killed off the last one on Tuesday...she'll never be the same again...
That soupie looks fab...so noorishing and delicious!!! I bet it smelled heavenly while it was cookin'! One of the nurses at Mumsie's work made a huge vat of veggie soup and brought some in for her...we hope to share in that fortune tonight!
We need to trot over to Jan's and see what's up with the kitty....

Keep ur feetsies warm!
Lacie
Pee Ess...Mumsie walked Stan last night and he froze his paws off the big baby...wouldn't move in the middle of the sidewalk...she had to bring him home...

Asta,

That soup looks super duper good. What all is in there? My Mom hasn't ever made me soup. Do you make dinner for your Mommy every night? She is SO lucky to have a great chef like you in the house!

Love, Herc

Rudy said...

My Mom makes something similar to that soup only she won't let us eat that, she's afraid she'd regret letting us eat the beans... (ahem!). So Mom should leave 'em out, how simple is that?
It's so cold outside here too -- good thing I'm half Swedish and have this nice coat that's thicker than the rest of my crew!

Love
Rudy

Simba and Jazzi said...

Wow that does look yummy. You certainly do move quickly in the kitchen.

Koobuss said...

Wow!! That looks great! You (and your Mommi) are such wonderful cooks. Not like us here. My Mom is waiting for spring so she can cook on the grill. She cooks a lot better outside than she does inside.
