Hello fellow kossacks. I hope you're all well. I've been sleeping a lot today and, after looking at the recent diary list, decided our scheduled christmas cookie diary didn't fit. It may show up before christmas outside of the normal time or be put on the shelf for next year. I haven't decided. Today, we are going to talk about different ways to make chicken soup. Please join me past the fold.
What's For Dinner is a community diary that takes place on Saturday night at 4:30PM PST and 7:30PM EST every saturday. We share recipes, talk about food and related items. This is a community diary, please leave politics at the door, pour yourselves a drink and relax.
