So grateful today and everyday to live in this amazing place. Beautiful day with Brad, Onyx and Ivy at the pond kayaking, paddle boarding and playing in the water. We were having so much fun I forgot to take photos. Ended with an awesome solo bike ride.
Lucky to hang with my Family today. (Amy, Brad & Onyx) Havenāt seen them for a month. So hard not to scoop up Onyx and cover her with kisses and snuggles! ā„ļø

![Congee RecipeWhole Chicken Cover chicken with water, add 2 small carrots & one small onion (skin on) 1 large rib of celery, 10 pepper corns, 4 cloves, 1 or 2 star anise...to make a stock. Cook low and slow 4-6 hrsYou can also do the chicken and stock in an instant potā¦it takes about 1 hrā¦20 min to come up to pressure and 40 min to cook.[Quick Alternative.....you can use store bought stock or better than bouillon to make a stock. Roast or pan fry chicken thighs ro breast to shred for topping] OR buy a roast chicken from the deli.Remove the chicken and let cool...bone the chickenFish out veggies and feed them to the doggies...if you do that sort of thing. Discard the spices.purĆ©e garlic and ginger together with a little stock or water...add to stockAdd Rice...approx 2 cups of rice for 10-12 cups of stock. This is totally a guesstament. You want a thinish rice soup (a little thinner than oatmeal)...all the toppings will thicken it up.If you donāt want to eat this everyday for four days...you can freeze 1/2 the soup and chicken then you will have it to make again in the future. Toppings...Crispy shallots (thin sliced shallots fried in oil til golden brown)Shredded chickenSautĆ©ed shiitakesSoft boiled or poached eggsGinger sliversCilantroScallionsToasted Sesame seedsNori sliversHot chili oilSesame oilSoy or bragsFish sauceThe egg is definitely optional but yummy!Pick and choose your toppings...If you donāt want to have them all,I suggest these as the minimum...Crispy shallotsChickenCilantroHot chili oilSesame oilSoy or bragsFish sauceHave fun and enjoy! ļø](https://sp1.picnob.com/p/pt_6858294825666551595422_0_4af4308ddce480ef41708f590e68e3c0.jpg?o=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&h=72aaed5707935d55df6f5954bc0ec4f4)
