(sic) - "Veterans Day Tribute":
| Here is a tribute to all
veterans - but particularly those US Army vets of Operation Iraqi
Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. I have the utmost respect and
deepest gratitude to those who sacrificed. All who go on deployments
sacrifice for the citizens of the United States and even the world. Some
sacrifice more - but all who have, do, and will deploy, do indeed
sacrifice. And the price cannot be truly understood unless you have paid
the price yourself. Here is to our Veterans of the United States Armed
Forces.... I spent much of yesterday putting it together. I have
wanted to do this for a while, and I finally got around to it. After I
re-deployed I had a different perspective on how the world looks at the
US Armed Forces. Prior to deploying, this song didn't make me think of
service in the Army. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEU8H-OgNko
WOWZERONI!
What a fabulous job you did on that video! Thanks, Brent - for everything!

VARIATIONS: They are myriad, such as: Substitute dry onion soup mix for the chopped onion. Substitute 1 jar of spaghetti sauce for tomato soup. Substitute Bisquik for the longer bread mixture. |
From Barbara Woods Spiers ('61) of VA - 11/10/14 - "Tortellini Soup":
This is a great soup for a cold winter night, especially when you don't have a lot of time to make a "homemade" meal that takes forever. It's also a great way to get some vegetables in your diet, but in a yummy way! Serve with a little buttery toasted bread and you've got yourself a tasty supper. The best part is that it's even better the next day!
 |
Tortellini Soup Ingredients: 3 T olive oil 1 clove garlic, minced 3 stalks, celery, chopped 3 carrots, peeled and chopped 1 onion diced 10 oz. box frozen spinach (unthawed) 2 cans cream of chicken soup 2 cans water 32 oz. chicken broth Family size package of cheese or chicken tortellini, half cooked |
|
|
Directions: 1) Put olive oil in the bottom of a large soup/stock pan. 2) Sauté garlic, celery, carrots and onions until tender. 3) Add frozen spinach. Break up blocks of spinach as you cook. 4) Continue to sauté until spinach thaws, then heats up. 5) Add cream of chicken soup and water. 6) Add chicken broth, then add tortellini. 7) Heat and serve. Note: It's better to eat it a few hours after it's made so the broth soaks up into the noodles. Better yet, make it the night before.
YUMMY!
Thank you, Barbara!
