Chilly Weather Comfort Food

[Madea]

Oh man! You know I mean this in only the nicest possible way but ...


I HATE YOU! I absolutely love, love, love having a nice fire in the fireplace.

LOL. I am used to it. Husband and child hate me too.

As a child my house burned down from a gas leak and exploded when the fire was lit. (Not sure of exact details we never were really told.) Anyway my mom and I were in the house and my mom threw herself on me to cover me. She was burned on 80% of her body and I was completely fine. She was in a burn unit for almost a year and this was right after my brother died. I will not have gas in my home or a fire.

Oh my! I am so sorry!

Broccoli Cheese Soup



1 Tablespoon melted butter

1/2 cup medium chopped onions

1/4 cup melted butter

1/4 cup flour

2 cups half an half cream

2 cups chicken stock

1/2 lb fresh broccoli

1 cup carrots, julienned

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

8 ounces grated sharp cheddar cheese
Salt and Pepper



Directions:

1. Sauté onion in 1 tablespoon melted butter.

2. Cook melted butter and flour using a whisk over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Stir constantly and add the half & half.

3. Add the chicken stock. Simmer for 20 minutes.

4. Add the broccoli, carrots and onions. Cook over low heat 20-25 minutes.

My friends request this all the time and I have to double or triple it when I make it for the family. My son eats his weight in it.

How absolutely horrifically awful. Did she live for a long time after that, and could she do normal things? How did your brother die, if you don't mind saying? Was he a child?

Mom is still alive, but very sick, unrelated. She could do normal things and has had a fairly normal life but she has had more skin grafts then I can even count and even when healed they get dried out and itch and get infected even decades later.
My brother died of APlastic Anemia. At the time of his death it was incurable and still is depending on the severity of it. He was 4.

I am so sorry SD! That hurts my heart. And I'd be afraid of fires too. (HUG)
