Thanks - don't have veggie garden and my soil here is pretty poor. I did plant onions and garlic at the end of my raised bed last week. Maybe some tomato plants there as well.

My standard soup recipe for busy people. You can substitute fresh for canned - we may all be doing that LOL.

1 pre-cooked chicken from Sam's club, (they are seasoned with Lawry's)

1 single garlic clove, minced

1 small yellow or white onion, finely chopped

3 tablespoons olive oil

In a Dutch oven or stock pot, saute the garlic and onion over medium high heat until onions begin to brown slightly. Remove from heat.

At this point, remove the skin of the chicken from the chicken in pieces as large as possilbe - don't bother with the chicken leg areas. To the pot, add 3 cans chicken broth and the chicken skin. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook without stirring too much for 10 - 15 minutes. Remove the skin and discard. Now add

2 cans Veg-all, drained

1 can finely diced tomatoes

1 small bag Mahatma yellow rice

2 cups of the pre-cooked chicken, cut into cubes

Emeril's seasoning to taste

Simmer on low for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Thanks for your recipe, I will have to try it, should do well in a crockpot and Scott does pick up the chickens that are cooked.

I haven’t been able to go to stores for 3 years, so Scott does all my shopping for me and brings it to me.

The price one sometimes pays for getting on down the old age path.

The soil here does not grow food, only stickers.

I added a solar greenhouse to the mobile, so many years ago, that it has now fallen down.

You can grow an amazing amount of food in one, year around.

Bell Peppers make a small tree, like a tall tree rose.

Tomatoes bear for 2 years and you will cut them out, to keep your path open.

In the past, I found that 2 gallon containers and a sunny window would grow peppers, tomatoes and greens for salads.

The Walmart potting mix is good, the Pro mix from Walmart is extra good. Just fill a pot and drop a seed in it.

I had planned on getting someone to fill a few pots and bring them in, last week, but the snow came and my brother went home early, so I will not plant this year.

It is impossible for me to do it, as I am attached to the oxygen generator and go only as far as the hose goes.

This is the first thread that I have ever started, so the night flew by, as I looked for more things to post, went so fast that I have not been posting on the World Terrorism thread, so will have to get that caught up.

I have always been a night owl, and now, that I am alone, I sleep when I want to and do not watch the clock.

If I have left over rice, I often open a can of chopped stewed tomatoes, throw it in and heat, and it is an instant soup, if you have cornbread or other homemade bread, it is a full meal for lunch.
