Daves Spicy Chicken, Beans and Rice Soup

Photo by svenwerkI made this for dinner tonight out of leftovers in the fridge, pretty much because I was too lazy to head to the store.  I had no plan on writing this down, but surprisingly, my family loved this so I have to record it before I forget what went into it.  I prepped it after lunch and allowed it to cook during the afternoon football games and it was done by dinner.  I thought it was really good, and my son said it was tasty with just a little bit of “kick” which he really liked.

    Sillon de Dentista

    Well, an interesting day today.  Shortly after school started I got a call from the school nurse.  Seems the boy had an extreme toothache and had to come home.   Not a huge deal.  Spent the afternoon heading to the dentist to see what was going on.  Turns our nothing obvious was found, but if there is an infection or other problem it can take weeks or months even to show up.  The dentist “sealed” the tooth, and now the boy seems fine.  We’ll see how thing work out.

    Went to get a new cell phone this evening.  We currently subscribe to Qwest wireless ant they are shutting down service on 31 October.   I am not too happy with the increase in cost, but it will be nice to have a new phone as I think mine is about 6 years old.

    Dinner tonight was at the new Red Lobster on Powers.  I love new restaurants, always so clean.  Cost was a bit more than I care for, but the food was good and service excellent.
