LOL, the culinary experiences in my home as a kid were no better.
Don't get me wrong, Mom did her best after leaving Dad with us 3 kids.

Hopefully that came over! It's a new trial here and i liked it.

I used little variation off the recipe. It was a bit spicier than I
would like so next time, 1TB paprika suits better.

My main variation was adding 1 small head of purple cabbage. Worked
nicely.

I used all the ends and peelings off the veggies to make a vegetable
broth and that worked well too. Got 7 cups once filtered I think?
