When One Leaves A Tropical Island And Returns To Snow This Is What Happens

Today is my Superbowl.  Patriots versus Packers in Green Bay.  I have such history with this rivalry.  I can't wait.  In anticipation of the big game I cooked.  I cooked well.  

Creamy chicken and wild rice soup.

 You must start with butter, onions, mushrooms, celery, and carrots.  Carrots make all the difference (though you don't really taste them in the end).  You then add chicken stock, seasoning, and chicken.  Cook for a bit.  Create a butter, flour, milk thickener.  Shred the chicken.  Cook the rice per directions. Add shredded chicken and rice.  Add heavy cream before serving - pure amazingness.

 Yup I made bread.  I haven't done this in 10 months and I love it!!  It brings me right home.

Then for dessert I made Snickerdoodle Blondie Bars.  I can't wait!!

4.5 hours of cooking, laundry, and grocery shopping.  How I role on a Sunday.
