Taking stock, making stock.

This year has been one of changes for me. Not massive life-changing changes - that was covered by last year and the year before that - but really finding out what is 'normal' now I'm a working mother with grown-up commitments.

I've gone back to the GTD program, with the help of Omnifocus, and thanks to Shimelle (who is by the way a wonderful papercrafter, cupcake baker, Kitchen Diaries fan and all round uber-girly) I have found Apartment Therapy. (Be warned, the book is great but their website - although full of sumptuous goodies - is a bit overcrammed, full of temptation and hard to follow. Irony, given the book is about the complete opposite)

Shimelle has been following the 'eight step cure' as prescribed in the book and gone great guns so I've decided to do the same, tying it in with my re-learning the GTD habit.

I'm cheating a wee bit (already?!!) and combining week one with some of week two - but only because they naturally fell together on my GTD list (week one i give everything a brisk hoovering and mop down but most of the room will have to wait til Monday). As a result, I think tonight will be spent cleaning the kitchen. Rock'n'Roll Friday night avec le Monsieur Muscle. At least I have my new hero Phoenix Wright to keep me company in the wee small hours.

Tomorrow I have a chicken carcass in my fridge so I think I'll make a stocky type soup for lunch. In fact, I'd like to solicit here. What is your favourite home made soup recipe?
