Good 33ยบ morning. Some clouds. Chance of rain 40%-50% until Wednesday when
it increases to 70%. We'll see.....
Here is one of my photographs I "tweaked" with the new photo paint program.
I couldn't believe that I felt so good yesterday! 100% over the past 6
days. I started feeling crummy on Tuesday and the cold hit hard by Wednesday
evening. Glad that's over!!!
This lovely plant is blooming in my bathroom window...
Patty gave me this Amaryllis a number of years ago when they were heading
to the coast for the summer. It never fails to impress. Blooms twice a
year.
Must be something about this time of year, as I looked back a year ago on
my blog I was making hummus then! So, yesterday I made two batches, one flavored
with pesto
and one with sweet/hot chili and siracha.
Both good! Snacked on them with raw vegetables.
Then I made some soup.
Basically I wanted to make some garbanzo bean soup, so found a recipe that
sounded good. Then as I worked on it I changed my mind as to ingredients. All of
the above did not go into it.
First into the crockpot 2 cartons of chicken stock, some onion, garlic,
rosemary, 1 can of diced tomato, 1 can of artichoke heart quarters, and a can of
drained and rinsed black beans. After an hour or so I added in three cups of
garbanzo beans. I reconstituted a couple cups of dried mushrooms and cut them up
and added them in....
along with about a tablespoon of sesame oil. Another hour or so I stirred
in a big handful of baby spinach and a package of Bear Creek Cheesy
Cheddar Broccoli soup mix.
Sold at most markets, Target, Wal-Mart, Amazon....
Bottom line....this soup was FANTASTIC!!!! It was thick and rich and cheesy
and I'm havin' some for breakfast!!!
You have got to see this cat! He's on top of a basketball backboard and he
gets down in a very unique way.
