Mild and Breezy November Sunday

Woody got up early and walked his 6-mile route. We both went to early service at church and then to our Sunday School classes. Woody taught his 6th grade boys class. We came home and had lunch and sort of took it easy this afternoon. Late afternoon Woody decided to start making his soup choice for this week, Meatball Mushroom. He made the meatballs, sliced the mushrooms, peeled carrots, chopped onions, etc. and then I came down and started lending a hand as this recipe has a lot of adaptations in it. We used longer cooking barley than it calls for and also our rice cooked for a different length of time...so had to figure out just when to add each of the different ingredients. I also stretch and thin it with a white sauce so had to make the white sauce. This recipe takes a bit of time. It is quite a hearty recipe. It wasn't finished when Woody left for church. He just came home and had a bowl and said that it was "good and filling." We're gearing up for our week of work on the house. Wondering if the weather is going to cooperate...rain predicted for Tuesday, the day that the roof is supposed to be put on...oh, well, we will just go with the flow! Tomorrow is supposed to be the beginning of heat pump and other energy updates. "Should" be an interesting week...time will tell!
