This is great tasting soup. For it you'll need.

NOTE: This is estimate, what I usually use.

Beef Broth, 6 cups (either use cubes or real beef broth)

About 2 packs of Asparagus. (I believe each pack is 2lbs)(make sure to wash it and break off the roots before use)

The Greens:

Scallions 4-5 green scallions chopped

Onion: 1/2 chopped

Italian Parsley: Table spoon of choped (FRESH)

Orange Peels from half of orange (about 35g of Orange juice(optional)

Few cloves of Garlic (not too mucH)

Spices : Salt/Pepper, Tarragon,

Oil : Olive 1/4 cup

Dash of Louisinna hot sauce(Tabasco etc...)

Okay you'll need to grill(grilling is important it gives it more flavor than baking of frying) the Asparagus after its been washed and cut. Grill it until it softens and its ok if it burns a bit. Just dont Charcoal it!! Next you need to make your orange paste, Take orange peels, and blend it together with OJ. Next In Large frying Pan put Olive oil, and heat on Medium. Take Garlic and start sauteing it(u can cut it small or use garlic masher). DO NOT BURN THE GARLIC . In about a minute add dash of hot sauce, and add in all the greens, Scallions, Onion, Italian Parsley. Sautee for about 15 mins on med-Low fire. Now add the Orange paste. Sautee for another minute or more. Add the spices. Now, take asparagus and chop it up. You should have 3 things. Soup Broth, Green Sauteed Veggies, and Chopped up Grilled Asparagus. Prepare a Large empty soup pot. Also take a third of each ingredients and place in Blender/mixer. Blend and pour in soup pot. Now do the same with the rest. And woolah! Now stir the soup add a touch of white wine and enjoy!

Let me know if anyone likes it, any questions pm me

Here is my squash recipe finally. I just noticed the date on my camera is way off. Anyway, this is butter nut squash and apple soup with salad. I was not impressed with the soup but Javi loved it.

My pastel de tres leches just finished baking. Now I'm waiting for it to cool so I can add the milks.

I used a new recipe I found online instead of my old stand by so I wasn't happy with it. Of course, it tastes great but I'd rather have a fluffier cake than the way this one turned out. It's really dense. I think fluffier cakes soak up the milk better and just make for a better pastel de tres leches. I didn't have time to take a pic of it before Javi cut into it. It must not be too bad though because he managed to eat two pieces of it last night after I got the icing on it around 9.

I made my scones and shortcakes but I forgot about them and left them sitting out all night and they look not so pretty anyways so no pics. They were almost all gone when I woke up anyways.

I made an apple pie today.... will try and remember to take a pic when it is done....

Easy As Pie No Roll Pie Crust

1 1/2 cups flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons sugar

1/2 cup oil

2 tablespoons cold milk

1. Sift together flour, salt and sugar right into pie plate.

2. Beat together oil and milk and pour over the flour mixture.

3. Quickly mix with a fork just enough to moisten flour.

4. Press into pie plate, ####### all over with a fork and bake at 425° for 15 minutes.

********************************************

Apple Pie Filling

5 1/2 cups peeled, cored and sliced cooking apples

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 cup white sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar

3 tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Mix all together...

*if you use a sweet apple you might want to reduce the sugar....

****************************************************

Oatmeal Crumb Topping for Pies

1/2 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup flour

3/4 cup oatmeal (any type but instant)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1. In a large mixing bowl combine all the ingredients except the butter.

2. Cut butter into mixture with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse bread crumbs.

3. Spread crumbs over prepared fruit mixture of your favorite fruit pie.

4. Do NOT add top crust.

5. Bake as directed in your fruit pie recipe.

6. If crumbs become too dark while baking, cover loosely with foil, but remove foil the last few minutes of bakings so the topping will crisp.

7. Note: when using this topping there is no need to dot the fruit with butter, if your recipe calls for that.

* I did only half a recipe of the crumbs and it was plenty...

[Marilyn. 340]

i guess I should call it more of a apple pie square...
