New years visitors & soup

Stella here.
Happy New Year, it's 2010!

We was gonna in-vite some folks t' come have some Velveeta soup (one o' Harvey's favorites, I'll put in th' recipe) but what with th' snow comin' down like 'tis, we're gonna hold off.

Molly E's comin', though, since she's just down th' road... an' she's bringin' th' fella she's been emailin' to with her. He really did show up after Christmas just like he said he was gonna. He's stayin' up t' th' Moose Cove Motel (I think he's th' only payin' guest they got right now) f'r a few days so's he an' Molly c'n "get reacquainted", since they ain't laid eyes on one another since school days.
I'll let y' know how THAT goes!

Well, here's that recipe (or receipt, as Harvey's ma usta say). It's really called Golden Dream Soup, but I call it Velveeta Soup since that's one o' th' main ingredients.

3 c. cubed potatoes
1 c. water
1/2 c. chopped celery & 1/2 c/ chopped up carrot
1/4 c. chopped onion & 1 teasp. parsley flakes
1/2 teasp. salt (less if y' want) & a dash o' pepper
1 chicken bullion cube
1 & 1/2 c. milk
2 Tbsp. flour
1/2 pound Velveeta cheese, diced kinda small

Simmer the vegetables and th' seasonings in th' water for about 15-20 minutes.
Make a mix outta th' flour an' milk (stir 'em together till they're good 'n smooth).
Add th' flour/milk mix to th' hot veg.
Keep stirrin' constant until it all boils and thickens.
Now add th' diced up Velveeta an' keep stirrin' till th' cheese melts.

That is some good eatin'!
They usta serve it down t' th' old Hersey Retreat in Stockton Springs back b'fore it got sold an' all gussied up. I doubt it's on th' menu these days.

Well, that's enough f'r now.
Try that soup sometime. Bet you'll en-joy it!
Love,
Stella
