What's for Dinner, Thurs., Jan. 28, 2016

[NJCher]

Chicken and dumplings at the neighbor's. My brother and I are going. I think I'll roast some Brussels sprouts and take them.

I am visiting my brother. The soup he made from the NY Times recipes was the winter root vegetable soup, (enter search term "one-hour winter root vegetable soup" if you like that sort of thing). This the second time he made it, and he did not cook it right away. He put the pureed winter vegetables in the refrigerator--leeks, turnips, parsnips, etc. We cooked it after it was in the frig 2 days. Well, let me tell you something--this is not something you want to do. The flavors became so strong. Of course, it was delicious with the chicken sausages, but wow, I had no idea the flavors would become so intense. Parsnip beat out all the others.

2. That actually sounds like something I would like! I love strong root

vegetables and throw in some horseradish, too!

We're having the chicken/leeks/noodles/spinach concoction I made last night. It wasn't great, but it was like a comfort food. Think I'll add a bit more parmesan and white pepper. Leftover cabbage from Sunday. Tomato/avocado salad. I think that will clean out the fridge.

6. Thanks for the tip

I actually like the 3 veg. Does bro like the intense flavor? I ask because I might. I believe maybe two of us in this family of five might. And next if it's so intense, how could the 3 puréed stored veg mix be used in other ways. Hmmm
