“Only the pure of heart can make good soup”, Beethoven. Interesting quote, don’t you think? But then again, Beethoven was an interesting character and quite talented at that! I’m really pleased with todays soup. Roasted Tomato Bisque. Pure deliciousness. It’s made with roasted cherry tomatoes and garlic.
Wow I’ve missed blogging. Not only have I been incredibly busy the last week or so but when I got a new Mac Mini from my man Dan for Valentines Day my whole world of computers went topsy-turvy. Actually, it is still topsy-turvy! The problem is time – there isn’t enough of it. I […]
I did not make mac n cheese. I just wanted to let all of you know my adoring hubby gave me a new Mac Mini for Valentines day. Not particularly romantic but way fun. I just got it set up yesterday and am still transferring info from my old mac. I have not fallen out […]
gum*bo noun 1. okra, esp. the gelatinous pods used in cooking. *(in Cajun cooking) a spicy chicken or seafood soup thickened typically with okra or rice. It is tradition around the Orange Bee to make a big ole’ pot of gumbo for Super Bowl Sunday. It played into my hands perfectly this year as February […]
We’re having soup for supper. I changed it up a bit and made a fish chowder. I wanted a simple, yet delicious bowl of soup. Still yearning to fill up “Miss T” who is partial to clams, I thought about clam chowder, but finding fresh clams in my part of the universe is not easy.
I’m happy to report that “Miss T” is on the road to recovery. It was touch and go for a while as not only was her mouth achy but being restricted to a soft diet was hampering her energy level. All the delicious, made with love, pots of soup were not enough to keep up […]
It’s amazing how when you have a family member who is relegated to a “soft” diet for a few days how much soup needs to be simmering on the stove. Miss T had wisdom teeth extracted on Saturday and was ordered to stick with a soft diet for one week. Are you kidding me?
With fall upon us I’m thinking about soups. Not heavy, hearty ones like we crave in the winter; but nutritious, simple bowls of soup. Sometimes an uncomplicated bowl of soup just fits the bill, perhaps with a crusty loaf of bread or a tossed green salad. One of my go-to cookbooks carries the title “Williams-Sonoma Soup”. […]
The Texas Rangers are in the “World Series”! I’m not a huge baseball fan but when we get into the playoffs I’m there. Now that we’re there, my adoring hubby and I want to cheer on our team – he’s like me when it comes to baseball…when we’re in the playoffs he’s in. In lieu […]
Do you say tomato or toe-mah-toe? I say tomato and with that said, I’ve been pondering the change of seasons. It is upon us, spring that is. I’m feeling the need to move forward as the clocks will be moving forward this weekend, a true sign of the season change. Not to mention dandelions, peach […]
