Howdy Ruth!

->  HN> The funny thing is that I do use

-> 
-> My mom would open a can of Campbell's chicken noodle or tomato soup. It
-> was also (for many years) the only time we got toast or ginger ale.
->
my mom worked most of the time
and a bouillon cube in a cup 
of hot water was easy and 
bland enough to not upset 
a "delicate" tummy. Now 
when I've picked up some 
sort of tummy bug I will
sometimes grab one of those
cubes and toss it in a
cup of boiling water, just like
back in my childhood days.
Not sure that it does any
good, but it's comforting if 
nothing else.

Right
-> -> now I'm well stocked (pun intended) for chicken, have some pork and 
lamb
-> -> stock but no beef. I do have beef base; my MIL gave me some that my 
SIL

->  HN> Have not made my own in several years

-> 
-> The bases do save space--that gets taken up by ketchup, mustard(s),
-> mayo, hot sauces, etc, etc. (G) Small fridges and freezers fill up
-> faster than big ones but even big ones run out of space when you've got
-> a lot of goodies in them.
->
Mustard we have, ketchup no, hot sauces only
a small number as Anne does not partake (grin).
Our fridge tends to fill up with cheese, 
yogurt, fresh produce, and leftovers.
 
->  HN> the bathroom is completed, we are
->  HN> looking at gearing up (and saving up)
->  HN> for a kitchen remodel...at that point
->  HN> I'm hoping to switch to a gas stove
->  HN> and a bigger fridge and more storage,
->  HN> and maybe...just MAYBE a dishwasher!!
-> 
-> Maybe a small freezer too? Ours is 7.5 cubic feet; I wouldn't have
-> minded a 10 but for space and cost. But, go for the dishwasher, you'll
-> be glad you did.
-> 
I'd like to get a small freezer again, and
if it came down to freezer or
dishwasher I'd go for freezer.
chat with you soon!
