a hit and a miss

Sometimes I follow the recipe to a "T" but it still doesn't work out. The lemon bars were over baked. The recipe said 30 minutes but 20 probably would have worked out better. I *am* used to baking in a square glass dish. This dark non stick pan is new and the edges were burned.

For the hit, I decided soup sounded good. I love soup in the winter. I could eat it every day. I used no recipe. I had some chicken stock in the freezer so I thawed it out. I cubed one large red potato with the skin on. I had some dry Amish noodles in the pantry, so one handful was put in the pot. I thawed out a little turkey left over from Thanksgiving and chopped it up. Seasoned with onion powder, garlic powder, minced onion, and freshly ground pepper. After it had simmered about 20 minutes, I stirred in some shredded cheddar cheese. It was so good! My only regret was that I only made 1 serving....should have made a big pot.
