Did I ever tell you I was a sore loser? I don’t scream and cry. I stew in my fury of not winning. (If I win, I do scream out “In your face, Sucka!” Hmmm, this may be why my sisters dislike me.) Honestly, I am not ALWAYS a sore loser. I am sure that …
Soup
Potato Leek Soup Hold the Starch
I feel like I received a “Get Out of Jail Free” card this St. Patrick’s Day. I know there are folks out there that can’t wait for their corned beef and cabbage with some soda bread. Not me. I was thrilled that I am not up to cooking a lot so I had a legitimate …
Liquid Diet Liberation
I am not someone who follows any kind of specific diet. I’m not paleo, gluten-free or low sodium. I don’t watch my sugars or fat intake. Right now with the state of my Crohn’s, whatever doesn’t make me sick, is usually on my menu. (And keeps me a size 00!) But every now and then …
For the Love of Pho
It is a week before Valentine’s Day so the time is right to tell you of my new love. My beloved is HOT, satisfying and good for me. I want every liaison to last forever and I long for it on my lips. It is something I dream about and is the base of many …
The Ginger Pumpkin Curry Soup of Your Dreams
I love when people share their dreams with me. It is funny how little ol’ me can sneak into a person’s subconscious. Did I pop into your brain because you just saw me somewhere? Or maybe you read a blog of mine and it struck a chord? Some people have me in their dreams because …
Change is Good: Red Lentil Soup
I don’t like change. I’m not talking about coin change; I’m talking about adapting to something new. We experience change every day in the weather or what we eat or which undies we are wearing. (I like changing underwear; it is so refreshing. Don’t you think?) I do okay with daily changes but unexpected changes …
(Almost) Labor Free Grilled Vegetable Soup
Can you believe that it is September already??? Did everyone have a great Labor Day weekend? Did you have your grills going? I didn’t barbeque this weekend because I did a family BBQ last weekend for my husband’s birthday, which his mom coincidently calls Labor Day too. (Actually there should be a National Holiday for …
2014 Resolutions
Happy New Year!!! How did you celebrate? Did you whoop it up with friends? Or did you just stay home and drink two bottles of champagne on your own? (You know who you are?) We don’t usually do much to celebrate the New Year. We smooch at midnight (if I am awake) and talk about …
Hangin’ With My Gnomie Mushroom Soup
Sometimes I wonder about things…odd things. And then I wonder do other people wonder about such odd things or is this just the work of a brilliant brain? (I choose to believe my thoughts are a sign of brilliance and not psychosis.) So I was sitting in the living room this weekend staring out the …
Mother Nature’s Tomato Soup
The last two years, I have planted a garden loaded with different varieties of tomato plants. As much as I don’t like playing in the dirt, I do love watching the show as stems grow and the little buds magically turning into beautiful tomatoes. (And if I could bottle the fragrance emitted from these plants, …
