Review of Krupnik Soup and Texas Moppin' Rolls

June 5, 2003

Dinner was good - not spectacular, but definitely good. I added some

seasonings to the soup (basil, crushed red pepper, garlic, thyme),

because it seemed a bit bland to me, though that could be because I've

got a miserable cold. Overall though, it was hearty, healthy, and easy

- all good things in my book! It seems to be a good starter recipe, at

any rate, that you could adjust to suit your personal tastes/needs.

The rolls were a hit. I found them a bit moist, but everyone else loved

them - good flavour, nice texture, pretty colour. Next time I think I'd

make 8 or 9 though; they were really too large for my personal

preferences. I don't like eating that much bread.

Still, all and all, for an experimental meal it was quite yummy! And it

definitely helped with " comfort " aspect. I hate New England weather

sometimes...

Thanks for the review Sherri - I'm going to have to try those rolls

sometime! Where in NE are you? This rain HAS to end sometime,

doesn't it?

The rolls were really quite easy to make. ABM's make it a snap to bake

fresh bread, even if (like me), you prefer to shape and bake it in the

conventional oven rather than the bread maker. I love having more

control over what goes into it, especially since the BF eats a LOT of

bread and we're trying to lower his cholesterol. The only problem is

that there are no preservatives in it, so for someone like me that

doesn't eat much bread, it goes stale too fast. Fortunately, I can send

home everything I bake with him!

I live in Stamford, CT, in the NYC 'burbs. It's a great little

community - all the benefits of a big town/small city, with the

convenience of NYC a quick drive away(considering the traffic lol -

quick is really a relative term sometimes!). And it's finally sunny

out! Woo hooo! The yard service is outside now dealing with the jungle

that sprung up from all this moisture. I was starting to feel like I

lived in the rainforest, which is NOT something anyone with my arthritis

would enjoy.

Now I'm off to take the pooch for a walk in the sunshine. Enjoy your

day - hope you're getting sun finally too.

Sounds very nice Sherri...I'm going to have to go back and check out that

soup recipe (krupnik?). Texas Moppin Rolls.....what a name! Definitely

sounds like " comfort " food! I'm gonna have to try those...maybe add

" Soppin " to the name, lol. Thanks for letting us know how things turned

out, sounds like a couple of keepers! (I love the spices you added...can't

go wrong with those)

Cheers,

Shawn
