Hi Kat! Awesome...so glad that it worked out for you. Did you tweak it a little bit? I get a little concerned when I communicate a recipe based on estimates.

My employer is vegan and had me whip up this nummy pudding for him:

1 can coconut milk (we used Trader Joe's)

1/3 c chia seeds

1/2 c carob chips (or chocolate)

Tbs honey

Tbs vanilla (or you can use a shot of brandy if you like, I used Kahula)

shredded coconut to taste

Heat coconut milk slowly stirring occasionally. Add chocolate or carob chips and stir till melted in. Add chia seeds, vanilla and honey. Stir until it thickens. Add in coconut flakes. Let cool...

The chia seeds are what thicken the pudding. You cant taste them but the texture of them is interesting. I put the mixture in a chocolate pie crust fro Thanksgiving dessert. Enjoy

Yay Welcome back! We missed you!

How was your holiday? Nice recipe, I can think of someone that is going to love that. Need to copy this one and add it to my files.

I had to turn the crockpot off. EVERY time I walked into or through the kitchen, I would be greeted with an intense fragrance and my stomach would clench in instant overwhelming hunger pangs--even when I walked in after a full meal to wash the dishes, instant overwhelming hunger pangs!

I drooled. It made me drool. I turned it off.

It cooled. I strained out all the chicken bones, fat, gristle, skin, meat, onions, etc. I put the strained broth on the stove with carrots, potatoes, onion, and chicken. Then I was faced with a bowl full of uncrumbly Chicken Etc.

So I put it back in the crockpot with new water and turned it back on.

What? It wasn't done yet.

OMG this made me laugh!

Cath I hope that you are writing a book because you have such a charming way with words. Perhaps you and Ursy can collaborate on something..a screenplay maybe?

The world needs more laughter, I truly believe that this is the answer to everything.

As someone who LOVES a good stock and has been known to consume a good chicken soup for a week straight, (it was that good) I can empathize!

I think Ursy and I would be so busy cracking each other up that we'd never get anything done. Although if she wants to try, I'm game!

So, yanno... I have that same hunger pang problem with the stock cooking in the crockpot again. *eyeroll* The sacrifices a person must make for good soup!

And yes, I did have chicken soup for supper and it was soooo goood. Last night I remembered to melt some sharp cheddar into it and holy cats that was good! But tonight I was so hungry that I just ate it as it came from the micro, no cheese, and it was pretty doggoned good just like that.

No telling what Gryph is gonna want for supper. I think he is maybe not quite so enamored of the stock as I am... but he is coming in on a doggoned cold night, and I bet he'd appreciate a hot bowl of soup.

What about with your home made noodles? Bek loves chicken noodle soup with the noodle recipe you gave me, all those years ago <3

Haven't done any noodling around lately, Urs, but I've thought about it. So glad Bek loves the noodles! Which recipe did I give you, the one with half an eggshell of milk? I've always felt kinda guilty that I found a better recipe than my Gram had, since the whole idea was to make noodles like my Gram, lol.... but heck, they're so much better with milk!

I did not get a noodle recipe from Cath.

Cath I am feeling neglected over here.

Wow that must be some good stock. I sure would love to come home to a hot bowl of soup, cold or no cold weather! Kinda strange how soup has become my favorite thing to have for a meal. Must be a comfort thing, reminds me of home.

Usually, if I was feeling under the weather while living in South Korea, I would have mandu guk (mandu soup). Here's a link for the recipe, although I'm sure there are variations ...

By the way, mandu can be vegetarian, kimchi or pork.

Excellent Kat. So glad that it worked out for you. I may have to make this sometime for my teenager mini diva who suddenly is eating more than two vegetables. No idea what has happened to her. She is a vegetarian but only enjoys broccoli and eggplant. That is it. I do not count potato's because they do not translate into nutrition for her. The child needs to pack some weight on and is a sugar freak so this is a big challenge at this point. But yesterday she apparently consumed 2 new green vegetables in the same day. Her Mom must be working some magic.
