Really good batch. I didn't make this soup last week, so maybe that's why it tastes so good

I might try that

are still dilated 😎. Go back in a couple weeks to see the eye surgeon and schedule cataract surgery for my left eye. I had a cataract removed from my right eye back in 2005. They said then I had a cataract in my left eye, but it wasn't near ready to remove. Took that long for my left eye to get ripe enough for surgery.

Tonight we are going to have spaghetti with garlic toast and a toss salad. Later an orange and two tangerines before bedtime.

Good Evening 🌉

Syracuse salt potatoes are a regional specialty of Syracuse, New York, aka "Salt City." Salt potatoes date to the 1800s, and were invented by local salt mine workers who created a simple and inexpensive lunch by boiling small potatoes in brine. The potatoes are still very popular today with the Central New York crowd, making an incredibly easy and delicious side dish.

Ingredients
4 pounds new potatoes

1 ½ cups fine salt

8 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions
Wash potatoes and set aside.

Fill a large pot with water; stir in salt until fully dissolved and no salt sinks to the bottom of the pot. Place potatoes in the pot and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are tender but firm, about 15 minutes. Drain; cover to keep hot and let the salt crust develop.

While potatoes are cooking, melt butter in a small pan over medium-high heat, or in the microwave. Drizzle over hot potatoes

YUM!!!

Onion, ham and extra cheese

I never get enough of the soup. Had more coconut milk and all other ingredients still.

So satisfying and different than soups I grew up with. Had two bowls over basmati rice.
Will take some for lunch tomorrow since I am working outside and it cold and rainy.

NJ. I got a bunch of lemongrass for this soup and will be starting a new plant from the cuttings. Takes a bit for roots to get started but easy to plant and grows fast after.

Had to leave my original experiment in Alaska last year so I am excited to start again in my new apartment where I only have a couple cactus so far.

It seems one year it did come back but there have been times I've had to replant...I think that was when the temps got down to 0 here in Texas and stayed that way for 3 days. Plants died and so did people

I have only grown indoors.
As a tropical I believe it would die in those temps…
