How can I say this? It is going to be hard. It is going to come out so I guess I need to be the one to say it….I think I’m a fraud. Maybe I’m being too hard on myself. It isn’t like I stole anything or deliberately tried or tried to deceive people. It wasn’t that …
Soup
This is the Dawning of The Age of Asparagus
Is it worth it? Do you ever think that? Eat another piece of cake? Is it worth the calories? (YES….it is cake….life is short.) Go to the fancy restaurant? Is it worth the extra money to eat off little plates decorated like pieces of artwork? (YES….because usually pretty food is delicious food.) Eat the spring asparagus? Is it …
Lent Approved Lentil Soup
Do you observe Lent? I’m not even sure anymore which religions necessarily practice this custom. I have a handful of friends of different denominations who give up “things” for lent. I’ve heard about sacrifice of things like snacks, smoking and even their social media accounts. (The irony is not lost on me that I read …
The True Super Bowl of Soup
Every year the same discussions occur this time of year during the Super Bowl. I hope it is a good game or that the commercials make sense. Will the half time show make you stay in your seat or will you take that opportunity to run to the bathroom? Is the game worth they hype …
Chicken Khao Soi (Small Town Version)
During our single digit days of winter, I had an obsession. It wasn’t anything too perverse or weird at least by my standards.

Chard in my Plants
Have you tried any new foods lately? Not just tried them but learned a way to like them? Do you do it willingly or is there some hesitation? Will you taste it multiple times to see if you truly like it or are you a one bite and done? Even in all my food adventures, …
What Do You Call It….Soup?
How caught up to you get in word definitions? Do you feel the need to correct people? Do you let it slide because it really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things? Do you deliberately say things improperly just to see if your “friend” will correct you? (This is one of my favorite games …
A Labor Day of Love…for Tomato Soup
So, Labor Day is here (or past depending on when you are reading this) and we already have leaves in the yard. I’m not complaining….Fall is my spirit season. The cooler weather, the changing colors and comfort food makes me happy….really happy. I was walking a lot in my yard this past week and enjoying …
Cevicho Or Copying A Soup You Taste on Vacation
Happy July!!! Any big summer plans? Do you like to just hang out at home and avoid summer crowds? Or maybe this is the only time of year you get off work so you take a big vacation? I like the mini-stay close to home vacation. I feel like I’m getting away but I still …
Not Really Spring Soup
Hooray the sun is shining, itty-bitty green leaf buds popping out on my trees limbs and the daffodils are in full bloom….aaaahhhhh…Spring is finally looking like…well…spring!!!! I love everything about the newness of the season…well…almost everything. I don’t like the warmer days!!! Whaaaat??? I’m probably in the minority on this topic but it is just …
