sp

but not chicken noodle...

1 acorn squash
1 large yam (the orange sweet potato, not a real yam)
2 onions
6 cloves garlic
1 inch-and-a-half cube ginger
beef - a pound or pound and a half, I think
1 cup barley
3 large blops of yogurt, about the same of crushed tomatoes.
coriander, cumin, turmeric, fenugreek, cayenne, salt, pepper, paprika, fennel seed, caraway.
2 32-ounce yogurt container's worth of homemade chicken stock

makes TONS. Tasty? Should be but it is still on the stove, so who knows?

hopefully a good tonic for a night of over-indulgence (Friday). Demon rum!
