Soup Day

Mornings are foggy now and fall is in the air. The leaves seemed to have turned from green to red overnight. It is the type of day where you just want to curl up with a good book in front of the fire. Soup weather. What is it about soup that soothes the soul? It's aroma greeting those who enter as if to say "Welcome". So easy to make. Just throw in a lot of veggies or what ever you have on hand. Can make a chowder by adding potatoes and cream. That and a salad make a good meal. You can freeze it in plastic bags (after it cools to avoid the plasticizers) so you can have it on demand. Tastes best when shared with a friend.

Really clumsy today, spilled 2 cups of coffee at different times. Must be an omen. Looked it up and according to Romanian superstitions, spilling coffee means you will have some good fortune. Nice thought but I think we can create our own.
