My dentist appointment went well. I absolutely love my dentist. He told Cary he could stay in the room with me if he wanted to, and if it would make me feel better. He didn't want to stay, though. I made it fine without him. The numbness is wearing off, and I'm still really groggy from the Valium. All went well, though. My next appointment is July 12th. Got more fillings to get done before time for the surgery.
It's good that I made the big pot of chicken enchilada soup, yesterday. That's what I had for supper tonight. Cary wasn't hungry after eating half of a large pizza for his lunch. He ate a chocolate candy bar, instead. The soup was easy to eat even though my mouth was still numb. I think I drooled a bit, but it was all good, LOL. This recipe is really good, and I'm trying the loaded potato soup recipe next. As I try all these new recipes, if we like them, I'm going to make a big batch a second time, and can it. All of the soup mixes and recipes are the Frontier Soups from Anderson House. I ordered a large case of different varieties of the soup mixes that I thought we would like. The chicken enchilada soup is the first one I've tried. The mixes call for some of your own ingredients, but all the basics are already included. For the chicken soup, I added a pint of my own canned tomatoes, 2 cups cooked chicken, 4 cups of chicken broth, and a cup of green chili enchilada sauce. You can add shredded cheese of your choice and/or sour cream to each serving. I'm already thinking or ordering another case of the same varieties.
Could any of you gals tell me how to can roasts? How do you fit a large roast into a jar? The reason I was going to do the beef chunks was to have them on hand for a roast, potatoes, and gravy type meal. I didn't know you could can actual roasts.
