The Perfect Pumpkin
In this video, I head upstate to Fishkill Farms to locate the perfect pumpkin, and to learn how to make pumpkin soup (which you serve straight from the pumpkin itself).
How To Paint Furniture
I’ve been buying furniture on the cheap and painting it myself for years for two reasons: 1) I have no money to buy new furniture, and 2) I’m generally looking for something very specific, which is tough in general, and especially so when your funds are limited.
The Best Fall Teas
I’ve never been a huge coffee person (and especially not since I had an ulcer earlier this year - caused by stress plus anti-inflammatory medication following foot surgery, not fun at all - and had to stop drinking caffeine entirely for a couple of months), but this weather makes me crave a hot drink like nothing else.
Chicken Stew
My mother made this all the time when I was growing up (and, happily, still does). This chicken stew is my ultimate comfort food, and never fails to make me feel like a kid again. I also love that I can get home at 7PM and be eating this delicious meal by 7:30. Go here for a list of ingredients.
MOM’S CHICKEN STEW
1. Cut 2-3 skinless, boneless chicken breasts into pieces.
2. Brown chicken pieces in a large pot with 2 tbsp olive oil and some garlic salt.
3. Add 12 cups chicken broth (I just use 12 cups of water and 6 packets of chicken bouillon) to the pot; bring to a boil.
