I'm really enjoying it so far and am about 50% of the way through.

But I had an upper back spasm yesterday morning so now I'm bed-bound and I can't work on my hobbies because of body positioning.

Last night we had it with saifun noodles. The other night we had the soup with some leftover rice to finish it up. We only have one meal left of it, and I'm thinking we have it plain again like we did the first night. I'm amazed that I'm enoying it as much as I am because I'm not one to enjoy leftovers, but it just turned out to be really good and hearty, even though it hasn't been soup weather yet.

Otherwise, I agree with everyone else on the chilis, soups, stews, and salads being better the next day. Some casseroles are also better the next day. My mother in law makes casserole spinach squares and chilaquiles squares. The Chilaquiles are nothing like the real thing, but a casserole and it's so good cold or heated up.

That's all I worked on this week. I need to get hauling on that embroidery piece. Someone bully me into finishing it.

It's to the point that my friends generally have me make phone calls for them, and I'm the emergency contact for most of my friends because I actually answer my phone. I know most people my age are anxious around phones, but I'm just so used to talking to people on the phone.

Hobbit soup:
Ingredients
4 - 5 large leeks about 4 cups chopped
1 ½ lb (680 g) potatoes
1 tbsp (15 ml) olive oil
3 garlic cloves
2 bay leaves
6 cups (1.5 L) vegetable broth
1 ½ tsp (9 g) kosher salt plus extra as needed
½ tsp (3 g) pepper
1 can (540 ml) white navy beans drained
Instructions
Dice the potatoes. To prepare the leeks, remove the dark leaves from the top. Trim the root and wash between the layers. Chop into a small dice. Mince the garlic and set aside.
In a large, heavy bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and sprinkle with a little kosher salt. Sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until the leeks have softened. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Add the vegetable broth, kosher salt, pepper, and the diced potatoes. Bring to a simmer and then reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer for about 10 minutes until the potatoes are about halfway cooked. Add the white beans and bring to a simmer. Cook for another 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
When the potatoes are tender, the soup is done. If desired, you can thicken the soup slightly by crushing a few spoonfuls of the potatoes into the broth. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve the soup.
I like to have a nice, crusty sourdough with it. I've made this recipe probably 3 times in the last 2 months.
