I wasn't sure that I was going to be able to participate this month. I was planning on making Vereniki and didn't get it done before the kitchen was dismantled.
We still need to eat each day though and I have been using the side burner on my grill to do a lot of meals. I decided to buy a rotisserie chicken and make some chicken soup. Originally, I was going to add noodles but then, when the Vereniki didn't work out I decided to make some quick drop dumplings to add instead.
In less than half an hour, I had a delicious soup to feed to the hungry crew that is working so hard on my kitchen.
