Chanukkah 2007 Day 3

I made a soup tonight from this web page http://www.recipeland.com/recipe/5304/

We needed a little bit of meat in a non-filling meal. While we're all hungry, as soon as you put that food to your mouth, the taste buds don't want it on the tongue. But this did the trick

Ingredients

Amount Ingredient Preparation
1/2 pound chicken breast  
1/4 teaspoon salt  
1 teaspoon cornstarch  
3 tablespoons water  
1 teaspoon soy sauce  
21 ounces beef broth condensed
1 can water  
4 ounces mushrooms sliced, with liquid
2 tablespoons vinegar  
1 tablespoon sugar  
1 slices lemon  

Directions

Skin chicken with sharp knife; cut in thin 2 inch long slices.

Sprinkle with salt.

Mix cornstarch with 3 tbsp. water and soy sauce.

Combine with beef broth and water.

Bring to boil; stir often; add chicken, mushrooms and liquid,
vinegar and sugar.

Heat. Simmer 5 minutes. Serve with a slice of lemon in each bowl, a cruet of vinegar on the table.

I fortunately had some dried Shitake Mushrooms in the cupboard that were perfect in this soup.

We went to the Dr this morning, and all of us are now on antibiotics. I have to say - one amazing thing. This is Janney' and Asher's first time on antibiotics. what a victory - compared with Myles who was on them perpetually through daycare - and as a result, he's allergic now to Amoxil.

Now we're just waiting for them to work. I took a 4 hour nap after visiting the Dr.s office.

For our Chanukkah "celebration" we lit the candles, said the blessings.. and sat there in the dark, not doing anything.. just watching the candles. We haven't read the story of Maccabees, we haven't done any history or bible study.. lighting the candles seems to be it for us this year. They haven't even played the dreidle game yet.
