Life is for learning

We like soup when the temperature starts to drop. I have a pretty good collection of recipes, but it is always fun to add a new one. 

This one was called Creamy Bean Soup with Kale. I had all the ingredients. It certainly smelled good. 

Note to self: next time I cook kale, remove it from the stems.


Was kale even invented in the 1900s? 

Maybe it was just illegal. 

(Tim thinks it should be.)

A mystery:


Tim came out of the bedroom wearing a tee-shirt. I said, 'Where did you get that?' He said, 'I thought you got it for me.' 'I would not have got you a ratty tee shirt...' 

We have no idea how this shirt wound up in his dresser drawer.  I don't even remember washing and folding it.

It looks like the democrats are having a good day. 

I wrestled with myself over this one. It is awful.

  1. I have laughed at several leather couch jokes lately. I would not have done so 10 years ago. I have become a snarky version of my former self.
    I am a soup person and could eat soup every day. A week ago I went out for lunch with friends and had the worse bowl of lobster bisque I have ever had. And at least in the top five worst soups I have ever tried, maybe even top two. I am off soup for a week or two until I can get that taste out of my memory.

  2. How I would prepare kale, is removed the stems, discard, then discard the leaves. The joke is good.

  6. I remember growing up in Rockland county with fields of kale down the street...smelly but not as bad as the fields of cabbage in Phelps, NY where Silverfloss sauerkraut was canned!!

  7. My older daughter makes several fancy kale salads which I thought I would hate. However, she somehow massages the kale so that it's not tough or bitter.

  8. HAH! The Usha meme is hysterical. I feel sort of bad for her.
