I haven't posted in a few day's because I've been sick.:( . It started out , the grandkids, that go to school, got sick ( all but one).( He must have a really good immune system!)  I'm the designated babysitter so they came here, since they couldn't go to school. Then lo and behold I got sick! Ugh! I think I got sicker than any of them. I had a fever, sneezing, coughing, aching; just plain sick! Needless to say I didn't eat during this time hardly at all. A few crackers and that's about it for a few days! I took some Tamiflu, Cold & Flu medicine, etc. I'm feeling better, but still don't feel good. I guess it will take time to recuperate. Anyway, if there is a plus side to this, I've lost some more weight! Not much though! Maybe a pound or 2. Every little bit counts though! LOL!  I have been eating quite a bit of soup. I made some potato soup one day that some of the kids were here, because they love it and I thought that might be something they would eat. They did eat some, but they felt so bad they didn't eat it all. I, on the other hand, wasn't sick yet, so I did eat some it was really good and comforting! Here is my recipe for it:

                                                                   
                                                                   Potato Soup      
                                                           
6-8 Red or White  Large Potatoes
1 small Onion chopped
1 can Evaporated Milk
1/2 stick Butter
Water to cook Potatoes in. Enough to cover totally.
Salt and Pepper.

Put the Potatoes and Onion in a large pot.
Cover with cold water above the vegetables.
Add the Salt ,Pepper, and Butter.

Reduce heat, cover, and continue cooking until done and the water has reduced some.
Use a potato masher and mash the potatoes until they are in small pieces.
