OK, I made this. It was simple and quick (45 minutes total) and the taste was good. But, for me it's too thin. I wanted to love this for the broth base rather than a cream but I realized that the broccoli bits are much more edible to me when they are in a thicker base. It was an unexpected texture/thickness that I couldn't get past. I had some wonderful crusty bread that I used to dip in it though and my husband liked it. If I reheat it for myself I may add some cream to thicken it up. But, this was simple and tasty.

I am making this right now, just what I needed for a cool fall day. Kitchen smells great already.

IMO such a clean, classic designed piece of furniture does not fare well with a loud print. I do not like at all. It's a clash of styles. A mid-century style of print would be my choice. But, I don't have to live with this... I would be ecstatic to find a chair like this and do whatever to it.

I agree. Ikea is throw away furniture. The best/longest lasting and best designed furniture IS going to be expensive. You get what you pay for. It is so worth saving for a few really good pieces that will be with you forever.

And that woman is disgusting for sending an email like that.

Chicken Tikka Masala. I love it so much from Indian restaurants that I was determined to figure out how to make it at home. It is time consuming to make but soooo worth it.
