Tomato Bisque - Creamy Tomato Soup Recipe

**** Use canned tomatoes/ plum style type and crush yourself with hands, use chicken or veggie broth and the surprise ingredient is jasmine long grain rice to thicken it....that is magic here...

This tomato bisque is proof you don't need a whole basket of vine-ripened tomatoes to make delicious tomato bisque. This recipe uses canned tomatoes. Rice makes this soup silky, not starchy.

Yes, we can freeze eggs.....use an ice cube tray or silicone mold thingy...


Scramble the eggs, place in the cube tray of choice mold...freeze..... then later remove frozen cubes, place then in a freezer bag as frozen cubes...store in freezer....take out as needed.

you can even place say 4-5 eggs scrambled of course, place in a freezer bag/ be sure to label the count...this for say making a frittata...

eggs froze whole ...the yokes get rubbery..

YouTube has several videos...

Does anyone else get diarrhea from eating McDonald's?

There are times when I am on the road, early nursing visits and don't have time for a breakfast or a lunch....Definitely I can't eat the hamburgers they make....30 minutes or so after eating....BAM! ...Less frequency with a breakfast sandwich but it does happen.....

I just have to pack a snack when I have long days....Panera is a good option if I have time to relax and eat...never GI disturbance events...
