medIcally bOred!
This is a big week for our family, mainly for Jeff. This week he flies to Chicago to take his last test. His oral and written boards to become a board certifited Otolaryngologist. He has been studying for months but the past few weeks has kicked in hight gear. It just amazes me how well he disciplines himself. This will complete his 10th year of training, studying, test taking etc.
So us girls at home are tying to be on our best behavior at home to not stress himout anymore than he is. Which is interesting about Jeff, he never gets stressed out. He is so calm about everything. The only time I have seen him like this was when he took a set of boards to get into residency. During that time he was so scheduled. He even ate the same thing for dinner for two weeks. So tonight i thought I would make his good luck soup. We actually call it "Medical Board Tortilla Soup" it is his favorite dinner. I hope it gives him good luck. Here it the receipe if you want to make it.

1 medium onion
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 Tbsp. Oil
2 lb chicken
1 28oz can diced tomatoes
1 10oz can Ro-tel tomatoes with green chilies
4Cups of chicken stock
2 cup beef stock
1 can tomato soup
1sp ground coumin
1 tsp chili powder

Cook together for one hour on medium heat. Use a fork to shred chicken in the pot. To serve: Line each bowls with cripsy four tortillas (this can be done by putting them in the toaster) Pour in the soup and top with green onion, shredded Jack cheese and sour cream.

good luck Jeff we love you... your girls!

Alright Kristi, the only way to reply was to sign up as a fellow blogger. Don't hold your breath because I am not as good as you logging in each day. I will have to say that Doug has survived many o times on the tortilla soup. Especially when we go out of town. We love that recipe!!

Good luck to Jeff. I can vouch for Kristi that Jeff really hasn't shown the pressure of school in all of the past ten years when he is around his family. He'll do great.

Good luck Jeff! That is truly impressive that he normally doesn't allow the pressures of it all to get to him. I am impressed with all that he does with church and family on top of it all.
