Cream of Turkey and Wild Rice Soup. I woke up with a migraine yesterday.

I have to say that after this odd three-week hiatus (unheard of if you’re me), I particularly resented this one. It was just there. No usual phantom warning, flecks of light, odd pain elsewhere. There. Pounding at my eyelids and making it impossible for me to feel like dragging myself out of bed when my alarm went off at 5:45 in the morning, even though it had to happen. I think the fact that I’d been oddly migraine-free for about three weeks really made me bitter with this one.

But it is these days that I truly enjoy things like a fridge and freezer full of heat-and-eat goodness. Smallish-sized pieces of celery, onion and carrot. Slice a few mushrooms. Heat a bit of olive oil in a large stockpot. Kind of. We’re looking for the onions to lose their fog and become translucent. And when they get that way, toss in a bit of garlic and give it a stir.

And oh-so-delicious, which is the most important part. Apples! Caramel. Note: True caramel apples, of course, are those that involve making your own caramel (with brown sugar or corn syrup or sweetened condensed milk or all of the above). I’m weird like that. You’ll also need toppings. Chocolate chips. Coconut. Slivered almonds. And crushed pretzels. Other stuff you can use alone or with other things: crushed Heath bar, crushed pecans, graham cracker crumbs, crushed saltines, crushed cashews, etc. But I love walking on the wild side.
