Recipes and Special Scheduled Shopping
We had a group of ladies schedule a special “private” shopping time this week and it was a great time. For their visit, Meg made soup and salad. It was so tasty that they asked us to post the recipes for the meal. So here they are.
Chicken Tortilla Soup
1 cup carrots, diced
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped onions
½ stick butter
4 15oz cans chicken broth
1 packet Taco seasoning
1 15 oz diced tomatos
1 10 oz can Rotel tomatoes, original style
10 8 inch corn tortillas, cut into pieces
2 chicken breasts cooked and shredded
1 cup milk
8 oz Mexican style shredded cheese
Saute carrots, celery and onions in butter till soft. Add broth, tomatoes, rotel, taco seasoning and chicken. Bring to a boil. Add cut up tortillas. Let boil for 20 minutes. Reduce heat and add cheese and milk. Simmer for 10 more minutes.
Town and Country Salad
Lettuce, sliced strawberries, sliced bananas, sugared nuts. You can be creative with this. Pears and brie cheese can be used. The dressing is the secret.
Poppy Seed Dressing
½ cup sugar
½ salad oil
1/3 cup vinegar
1 tsp yellow mustard
1 ½ tsp poppy seeds
1 ½ tsp onion juice
Speaking of Scheduled Special Shopping… If your group would like to come on a Monday and have the store all to themselves for a time of shopping, we’d be happy to accommodate you. We need a two week notice and a minimum of three in your group. Call us to discuss.
Classes
We’ve scheduled several beginner level classes. Three each for Crochet, Needlepoint and Knitting. We are calling them 101 since they are intended to get you started. These classes will be great for the absolute beginner and for the person who has been inactive for awhile. We will do one of each class in February, April and June. You can see the complete schedule on the classes page of our website or at the bottom of the page where events are listed.
We have also scheduled a knitted cable class. You can pick a project with cables that appeals to you or if you don’t have one in mind, we will use Bowlegged Washcloth from Needyl. All you need is some cotton yarn and the appropriate needles for the yarn. The cable class is March 14.
Here are a few finished objects to inspire you.
