Today we talk about the #myThreeThings method of personal and life planning and how it can be used through hard times to help you choose the most important things. We also cover a pantry update, the weekly shopping report, operation independence and more. UPDATE FROM Fountain.fm Doggonit Girl - A True Cook With What You Have Moment I listened to this twice. Love the format. I made a version of the tomato soup. Thank you for reminding me that the garden is so tasty. I found the solution to too much trombocino. I just had a baby Muscovy deficiency. They are like a school of pirahna on the seed ball end. I quarter it. They get two quarters twice a day. I have very little rind left. Grated trombocino and the tomato soup, with an immersion blender makes quite the hearty soup. Too much habanero! Bring out the sour cream.
