A Different Kind of Book


So,

I'm a little behind on Suite Francaise...I will catch up!

But, I justed wanted to share what I have been reading lately. The weather down here, or over here has been quite blustery, and when the weather gets blustery, I think of one thing...SOUP!

One of my favorite cookbooks, and one of my favorite soup cookbooks is Maryana Vollstedt's Big Book of Soups. Whatever your ingredients you have, you can find a recipe. Usually quick, usually easy, I haven't yet found one to yuck at. I've been making the minestrone out of this book for as long as I can remember cooking.

So, I figured everyone but Toni (sitting beside a pool down south), is feeling the winter weather. And if you want something warm and yummy to warm you up while your reading a good book...take a look at this cookbook! I know my mom (Linda), has no idea who this Maryana Vollstedt person is, and will enjoy some 'good' recipes! :)

Oh, and I guess cooking soup is one of my passions. There is nothing so happy for me as standing over a hot pot, pitching things into it, and ending up with a nourishing and tasty pot of goodness. Perhaps it's a bit of witch in me...loving to stir a cauldron. :)

Happy Eating and Reading
