I am glad
was able to stay inside.
So tired last night
after working outside all day
Did not sleep well and wish
I was better at pacing myself
and
not so sensitive to the
fact that 1/2 the family was far
away and my younger daughter
and family flying in last night.
How in the world do I have
so many vegetables in my frig?
Cauliflower, collard greens, spinach
and an eggplant along with
celery, carrots and onions.
I made cauliflower soup.
The same way as potato
with onion, celery, carrots
and garlic.
Cook until done and then
use the blender on half
an addition of chicken broth,
milk or cream.
Cooked the collard greens
and put some on the soup
along with shredded cheese
chopped bacon and a dollop
of sour cream.
1/2 recipe of my favorite
corn bread'
made it complete.

That looks good, although I'd rather have kale than collard greens. I've just gotten into 'greens' and kale is my favorite.
We do have to pace ourselves the older we get. I also take naps.
Have a nice visit with your family tat is flying in.

I love that you always carefully set the table for yourself. It looks beautiful and delicious - and ready for a very important person - you~~!!
this soup looks wonderful! i love soup during our rainy season especially, when the days are chilled and damp.
Balisha, I am glad.
FlowerLady, my daughter eats a lot of Kale - I need to try it.
Sky, soup is so easy and nourishing for me to prepare for one person. Then have a meal and lunch the next day :)
LR - I love setting a nice table.
In the past with a big family I always did this. If I did not do this for one it would almost be depressing. I like cloth napkins, candles and flowers :)
Looks super delicious as well as healthy.
I love your recipe/poem. Nourishment for the body and soul. Some of my best soups have come from using up bits of this and that from the refrigerator. Best wishes to you.
I am so glad you are having company!!!
A rainy day does give us a chance to rest or do something we like to do inside. I was afraid your work would make you too tired to sleep. Happens here sometimes.
It's good that you fix nutritious meals for yourself, when it would be tempting to just snack.
YOu are wonderful to gather the veggies and prepare a wonderful garden soup. I simply love cornbread.
I am still traveling back and picking up posts I have missed.
((hugs))
