FEB FAST ~ WEEK THREE

Good Morning Feb friends,

I'm about to pull every hair out of my great big blue head - it's still snowing out there :H
I don't want it, I don't need it, I didn't order it!!!!!

Sooty, I love it when you first see the Spring bulbs popping out of the ground...........
Enjoy your lovely day then please send it this way

Red, here's the link for Kennett Square Mushroom Soup:
Kennett Square Mushroom Soup - 140843 - Recipezaar

I have to substitute thickened Lactaid milk for the half & half cream but it's still very good.
I have a box of fresh mushrooms in my fridge so I will be making some soup myself today. I can't get enough mushroom soup :h

I have some work waiting for me so I'll get to it.
Wishing everyone a good AF Tuesday!

Lav

Morning,
Red, what time do you get up? You always seem to be the first one on except for Sooty but she has the Atlantic Ocean as an excuse. Thinking about your comment on the thoughtlessness of many men. This past year on Xmas eve, as I was busily preparing a feast for 12 people, I told my husband that I expected a Xmas present. He dashed to Whole Foods and bought a bottle of chamomile hand soap and gave it to me the next morning. Now every time I wash my hands with it I feel resentful. Maybe I should throw it away. And I am done for this round!

Dill, hang in there sweetie. But do think about what LBH said about drinking never being the same again. Once you make a concerted effort to stop, I don't think you can casually say I'm going to relax now with a nice glass of wine. I was at a point where I always felt like a failure when I drank any amount.
And Lav I have done the fall on the floor dance more times than I can count. I'm with you. Never, ever again!

Running this morning, 5:30, dark, nippy, ran past a scruffy looking man rummaging around in the trunk of his car and just as I passed him he pulled out a bottle of wine. Is he getting an early start? Maybe he's making coq au vin!!

Later y'all,
Shelley

Lav,
Cross post. I want snow!!
You are such an inspiration. I have no milk for my coffee, so was going to the store anyway. But I have a mushroom mission!

Greetings from Snowy, blowy Ohio!
My first thought this morning, gratefully, was not "Am I hung over?". It was: "School is cancelled again, I think I'll just sleep in!"

Once again, thank you all for your supportive thoughts. I'm back on the bus and am buckled in! (Our bus does have seatbelts, doesn't it?)

LBH and Sped, how intriguing to be living in such proximity! When you scan the people in the check out lane you'll be wondering, "Is that she?" If you see parsnips and ginger or 3 lbs of fresh mushrooms in the cart, odds are....

My closest neighbor on this thread is Lil and I hope one day to meet her face to face. We'll each have to work up the courage someday.

I'd love for all of us to meet one day in Lav-land and shop for mushrooms at Kennett Square together.

Peace, hope and strength to all!

I have been trying vegan diet last few months and you can get soy alternative to cream. Its great in some things but less so in others, usually it does well in soups.

Evening all and welcome Raven - lovely to see you on the Feb Fast thread - we have lots of good recipes so any vegan ones you feel like sharing will be particularly welcome!
I've had a lazy, pleasant day and hope that Tuesday has gone well for all of us.
See you all tomorrow on the best day of the week

Yes, Raven! Sober women and men around the world. I've not made mushroom soup from scatch, ever. Sounds like I have a plan for this weekend!

Very glad to have you back on board, Miss B!

Good night, Soots!

Hello all,

Just a quick check in here. Another few days in the sunshine state and then I will have to head back to the cold and snow. Oh well, it was nice while it lasted. I will try to catch up with everyone when I get home.

Have a great, af evening everyone.

Ok guys i will join in the mushroom soup making at the weekend! Love the thought of all these sober people around the world all making it, it could become a new symbol for sobriety or a secret code!
If you tell people you are on the mushroom soup they will know you are on the wagon.....

Maybe our thread for next month could be The March Mushrooms!

Just back from dinner at the local chinese with a group of girlfriends, im sorry i know i must sound so smug now but one of the girls got v drunk and got louder and louder as the evening wore on, she was sluring, not making much sense and repeating herself.......... was that really me just a couple of months ago??? Hell yes, it so was!!!

Oh yeah!
I'm voting for March Mushroom Madness :H

Since I moved to this area (so close to the Mushroom Capital of the world) I've learned to put mushrooms in just about everything :h

It seems I've turned an entire thread full of people into mushroom addicts................
what should I do for my next trick

Wishing a warm & cozy AF night to all!
Sooty - tomorrow is Ash Wednesday Humpday - now that's special!!!

Nothing much to add tonight, dear friends. March Mushroom Madness sounds like just what the doctor ordered. Count me in. Taking my struggling ass for a hot bath, pizza & a movie. Will be back tomorrow with renewed energy.
