THE TOXIC AVENGER

I didn't know what to expect with the musical, "The Toxic Avenger", but I was pleasantly surprised! I laughed so much my belly hurt, it was silly and fun, but yet a good story.

I didn't know that this was a movie back in the 80's, and I heard after, not a good one, but the play looked like something I thought Rob would enjoy when I heard about it a couple months ago. I was able to get good seats for the Saturday preview show at a very decent price so we checked it out last night with a couple of friends and I'm so glad we did! I highly recommend it and wouldn't be surprised if we go see it again! The whole cast was incredible, the score was catchy and laughable, in a good way, and you'll be routing for "Toxie" the whole time.

SLOW COOKER TURKEY BARLEY SOUP

Don't know what to do with all that leftover turkey? Here is my Turkey Barley Soup recipe.

6 Cups Chicken Broth (or homemade stock)
1-2 Cups diced Turkey (or chicken)
1/3 Cup Pearl Barley
1/2 Cup Chopped Onion
2 Celery Stalks, sliced
3 Carrots, sliced
1-2 Bay Leaves
1 tsp Thyme
2 tsp dried Parsley
Salt & Pepper to taste.

Cook in slow cooker on low for 6 hours. I love my slow cooker!!

NOTES: When I made mine on Monday, I also added a whole turkey leg, all the meat fell off when the soup was done. Just remove the bones and skin, but I believe doing this added some extra flavor, and I will do this for now on.
