I adore homemade chili! We need to be making some.

There's so many recipes on my list of want to try making. Some I've found, some I make up myself too.

Unicorn- Lol, no problem, I get distracted all the time.

Oh nice, I don't think I've ever seen clover anywhere around here though.

I should suggest that to my sister, she has that problem a lot from work.

I've never tried that before, that sounds really nice actually!

That would be great. :D

I'm not a big fan of sage ether. x.x But others like it, so I'll use a small amount in stuff at the holidays.

They are, but they last way longer then fresh. So it helps offset the cost for us. They tend to be really versatile too.

We had a lot of pasta when we were little too, but it's not my most favorite. I do like homemade and cream sauces though.

Basil is so good. :D I love rosemary too, my sister makes a great rosemary chicken! If you can't find fresh, maybe you could find it dried? We use a lot of dried herbs, just because of the shelf life and cost.

I tend to use a lot of garlic, basil, and dried minced onion (cause I don't like how pungent fresh ones are) in my stuff.

That potato soup sounds really good! I made one once using instant potatoes, which is really just making up the potatoes as normal then thinning them out with milk till their the desired thickness. I also add seasoning too.

I grew up with soup, so it's like a comfort food to me, lol.

I know what you mean! My favorite is to use unsalted chicken broth, cooked or canned chicken, very finely grated carrots (cause it's the only way I can eat them), and various seasoning, with basil being my favorite. I'd also love to try cooking rice in more broth, and adding it in with the soup.

I want badly to try making soup again, and I've had this idea for a caramel fudge pie for awhile. XD
