Question #1:

What should I put in my soup?

I'm a big fan of "what do I have in my fridge lets just throw it all in a pot" soup. I have basic ingredients for chicken soup (chicken, broth, noodles). But, my dear yahoo community, I'm leaving the rest up to you. What should I stick in there? I can get other ingredients if I have to, but in my fridge I have:

white onions
zucchini
corn
potatoes
carrots
celery
broccoli
parsley
oregano
basil
bay leaves
milk & flour (If you all decide on a chowder)
Someone mentioned garlic, which sounds delicious, but I'm a little worried about it being overpowering. thoughts?
oh, I also have peppers

Question #2:

how do you say the following words in Yiddish with English transliteration?

carrot
celery
onion
tomato
chicken

Question #3:

Can you survive on only consuming coffee, tea (with soy milk and sugar), celery and water?

Just wondering and this is what i've been livin on the past few days.

Question #4:

Does this recipe sound like it will turn out good?

I've been trying new recipes lately and they haven't been very good even though I follow the directions right. So I wonder if Im just getting bad recipes. I hate wasting ingredients.

Does this sound like it would be good?

Chicken and Wild Rice Soup
------------------------------------------
4 cups water
1 lb boneless chicken (your choice)
1 chicken bouillon cubes or 1 cup chicken broth
1 package Uncle Ben's chicken-flavored wild rice
1 teaspoon Lawry's Seasoned Salt
1 teaspoon parsley
1 tablespoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
2 raw carrots, peeled
1 stalk celery

You cook it entirely in a crockpot.

Question #5:

Your favourite baby food recipes?

I love making my daughter's baby food but am getting stuck with recipe ideas

This is one of my daughters favourites - she loves it and always eats the whole portion :)

30g butter
1 leek - sliced
1 celery stick - sliced
1 red pepper -cored, deseeded and chopped
60g Red Lentils
1 medium carrot - peeled and chopped
2 sweet potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 bay leaf
15 fl oz veg stock or boiled water

Sauté leaks in butter for 2-3 minutes, add celery, red pepper, carrot and sauté for 5 minutes
add lentils and sauté for 1 minute. Add sweet pot, bay leaf and stock, bring to boil, reduce heat cover and simmer for 30 minutes/until veg and lentils ore tender. Remove bay leaf, puree/mash to required texture. Freezes well so worth making a batch.

Do you have any good recipe ideas to try?

Question #6:

Why is food so disgusting?

I hate eating; I could weeks without eating. I NEVER eat breads, carbs, meat, fish, dairy or anything.

Here is my meals that I eat everyday.

Breakfast - glass of water
Lunch - 2 carrot sticks and 1/4 cracker
Dinner - 1 steamed celery and a 2 tbs of couscous
Snacks - None

I don't want to eat; I hate food.

Question #7:

Raw food? Do you think this diet plan is healthy?

On this site it has a sample menu plan, I was thinking during the week i'll eat like this and then on weekends I can cook veggies.

Day 1: Monday Morning: 3 pounds (1.4 kg) of watermelon (not seedless).

Afternoon: 2 mangos. 1 avocado. 3 sticks of celery.

Snack: 2 mangos.

Evening: One large lettuce, cucumber, tomato, and green onion salad with one handful of raw sunflower seeds, two avocados, and a fresh-squeezed lemon.

I want to be down 40 pounds in 3 months. Could I acheive that if I stick to this menu? Thanks! :)

Question #8:

Where can I get a duck I want to make this recipe?

Duck Blood Soup (Czarnina)

"This is an old Polish recipe that was used at Easter time. This recipe is traditionally served with home made noodles. If desired the fruit can be removed, leaving broth to serve with noodle. If you do not know where to purchase a duck, contact a local farmer or butcher. If you prepare your own poultry be sure to add 1/2 cup vinegar to duck blood to prevent coagulation." Original recipe yield: 12 servings.


INGREDIENTS: 1 (4 pound) wild duck, whole
4 cups duck blood
8 cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 stalk celery, cut into 2 inch pieces
1 sprig chopped fresh parsley
1 cup heavy cream
5 whole allspice berries
2 whole cloves
16 ounces pitted prunes
1/2 cup raisins
1 tart apple - peeled, cored and chopped
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

DIRECTIONS: Cover whole duck with water in large stock pot. Add salt, and bring to a boil. Skim off foam. Place celery, parsley, allspice, and cloves in a cheese cloth bag, and add to stock pot. Cover and cook over low heat until meat is tender, approximately 1 1/2 hours. Remove cheese cloth bag from stock pot. Remove duck. Discard bones, cut up meat, and return to the broth. Mix in prunes, raisins and apple. Simmer for 30 minutes. In a medium bowl, beat flour and sugar into cream until smooth. Beat in duck blood gradually. Add 1/2 cup hot soup stock to blood mixture, blending thoroughly. Pour mixture slowly back into stock pot, stirring constantly until soup comes to a boil. Season to taste with salt, pepper, lemon juice and vinegar.
Seriously how/where do I get a duck?

Question #9:

can rabbits drink homemade celery juice?

Question #10:

character name opinions please and thank you :)?

I'm writing a book and would like some opinions on what to name a character. Here is a description:
Looks~
Tall, thin-ish (strong but not all brawny), dark/black hair, spring-green/celery eyes, either looks indifferent or has a goofy smile tugging on the corners of his lips.
Personality~
Incredibly clever and very funny, but very quiet and a little shy. He can act like he doesn't know whats going on, but it's only because he wants more information and details to add to what he already knows. Transfers into a private high school in the middle of the second semester and instantly becomes popular.
He's seventeen and an extremely mysterious character.

At the end of te book he finally exposes his name after living with a nickname. It has GOT to begin with E.

I was thinking maybe Elijah?
Please no Evan, Ethan or Eric.
Nothing to foreign or exotic please. Just plain and simple :)

thanks!!

Question #11:

I need some recipe ideas?

I was wondering, can anybody give me any healthy, fairly easy crock pot chicken recipes? Tonight is family dinner night, and it is my turn to cook, however, I'm really busy today, and won't be home until later tonight, and that leaves me no time to cook, so I thought I'd use my crock pot for once, I need some ideas of what to make in it though! I have boneless, skinless chicken breast, onions, carrots, celery, potoatoes, etc, I was thinking some sort of stew or something? Or if you just have a quick recipe, that'd be great! thanks!

Question #14:

Healthy Quick Breakfasts for school mornings?

I'm 14 years old and I'm trying to eat healthier. I'm NOT trying to lose weight (I'm already pretty slim) I'm just trying to eat healthier and have more energy through out the day. OH an I'm 5'11 and about 135 pounds if that makes a difference.

Here are some of my ideas. DO you have any more?

Breakfast #1: Quaker Oats oatmeal with blueberries and strawberries. 1/2 a cup of 2% milk or some low fat yougurt.

Breakfast #2: 2 slices of whole wheat toast with and egg white ommelette (with 2 egg whites, tomato, spices, and diced celery) 1/2 cup of 2% milk

Breakfast #4 2 slices of WHole grain bread with 2 tsp peanut butter and an apple with 1/2 cup of milk

Are these healthy and do you have more options?

Question #17:

Is it normal to feel tired when you change to a healthy diet?

I haven't been eating as well as I used to for at least a year & after getting engaged decided to get back on the health wagon & lose some weight.

The bad foods I indulged in were never fast food or highly processed food. Mostly rich french casseroles, good sourdough & homemade buttery baked goods.

I have only been back on track for 5 days but I have been extremely lethargic. I wake up at 6:30 I work in an office for 8 hours, do 30 mins to 1 hour at the gym 4-5 days a week & I am often falling asleep sitting up on the sofa by 7pm!

I am sure I am getting enough calories & by all rights I should be exploding with energy given I am eating so many organic green leafy veg & fresh fruit.

Could it just be my body adjusting to a new diet?

Eg of my diet
(what I ate yesterday)

Breakfast:
3/4 cup Quinoa & oat Porridge with 1 diced apple, 3 chopped raw almonds & skim milk

Snack:
a couple of pieces of celery

Lunch: chicken salad consisting of 150g grilled chicken breast, 1.5 c arugula, 1/2 c fresh raw corn kernels, 1/2 c cherry tomatoes, sliced Spanish onion. 1 tbsp olive oil, lemon & anchovy dressing

snack: homemade granola bite snack (made with oats, pepitas, puffed rice, dried blueberries, nut butter, agave syrup & an egg white)

Dinner: Broccoli & lentil soup with chia seeds (I usually go back for seconds & eat quite a lot of this)

I am also not consuming alcohol, tea or coffee. Nothing but 2-3 litres of water a day.

What do you think? Not enough calories or just adjusting?
I didn't have a lot of caffine previously. Maybe 1 coffee a week & a cup of tea with milk & sugar.

I cut out the tea only because of the sugar & milk. I can't stand to drink it black.

Question #18:

what can i make with celery?

i went to the store cuz i was gonna make chicken soup and i was gonna add some celery, i only needed like one stick, but they didnt sell them individually. i had to buy a whole pack and now i dont know what to make with it. anyone got any good recipes? thanks
emgee:
i used more than one, i was just exaggerating.
yes i keep onions, tomatoes and garlic in the fridge cuz that what most mexican food is made with, i dont even know what dish youre talking about, but celery, i dont eat it very often.

Question #19:

I have an obbsesion to butcher knives and my friends call me insane so am i?

I love knives especially butcher knives and i always use bigger knives than necessary like when i peel grapes (yes i peel my grapes got a problem with that?) i use a knife that you'd normally cut something like i don't know celery with. i also dream of killing all my friends and family by chopping them up
so am i insane?
And if your going to reply to this question don't recommend me to therapist or something like that i am perfectly in control!

Question #20:

Do you have recipes that use cream of various types of soup?

I am reorganizing the cupboard and realized I have a surplus of cream of mushroom, celery, onion, and chicken soups. I mainly use them for dressing/stuffing and green bean casserole during the holidays. I’m not sure what happened last Thanksgiving and Christmas, but I did have a lot of family visiting and multiple people picking up groceries so things must have gotten out of hand with the soup.

Occasionally, I use them as a gravy additive or in a stew, but to be honest I don’t have any standard recipes that require them except for the holiday things. Anyone have any recipes that can help me use what appears to be 3 years worth of soup at the current rate I’m using it? Many thanks!
