9. I sure got busy around here!

Hubby's trying to finish up the posters right now. I cooked a pound of hamburger so it wouldn't go bad before I use it in 2 days; also sauted a package of slivered sirloin, then cut up the chicken (since I use mostly white meat for me), and did a huge job cutting on all the veggies going into the soup tonight, as well.

Chicken legs are going to be added to the pot tonight to give it a bit of a flavor boost for hubs, and the rest of the dark meat that he doesn't eat will be surprise for Lexy, our dog.. and meted out among the cats for treats.

I've currently got a cup of wild rice in a pot of the stove, hoping it gets done before my friends are here to pick us up for No Kings. Looking forward to finishing up the soup tonight when we get home. It is really working towards being excellent, I hope! (I also thought this evening I'd saute some spinach leaves, after slivering them a bit, and adding a little of that into the soup, as well, to boost the nutrition level. Has anyone done anything like that? Is it just too insane? (LOL) I've only used spinach in the past in my tuscany chicken...
