It's nice to see you too, and I hope you feel better soon. Lauren, I'm sure it'll be good enough with homemade stock that you don't have to wait for a rainy day. Thanks, Camille!

(Can you tell I'm a bit behind on my blog reading? Taking advantage of a sick day to catch up.) Anyway, despite being a definite meat-eater, I think caramelized onions have enough of their own delicious flavor to make a spectacular soup without the aid of veal bones. And what a great cold-weather meal! Hey, glad to see you’re back! (Can you tell I’m a bit behind on my blog reading? Taking advantage of a sick day to catch up.)

But the weather is finally no longer damp and grey here, but rather sunny and nice! I’m going to try that with the homemade for-real chicken stock that I’m making.

I'm thinking we'll have to do something wall-mounted, since we don't want to lose any counter space either.

On the drawer beneath that, a good bit deeper, but still not "deep," rest my bags of spices and teas and tea tins and tea boxes...oh yes, and the extracts of vanilla, almond, anise, and so forth... Maybe His Lordship could help you devise something similar?

Don't leave out the chile, though! You can wimp out and use just a tiny pinch of red pepper flakes, but even a tiny bit of extra heat makes all the difference.

I like that. I like to celebrate little victories and relax after life-sprints at times when drinking alcohol is not a viable option. Just thinking about mixing this made me smile. I think I can find the lemongrass at the Asian market near here. The fun of a mixed drink — setting the stage for celebrating or relaxing by measuring and mixing — without the alcohol. I like that.
