Soup, salad, and lemonade.

Yum.

Good Soup

Back at home I have made soup... cauliflower ... with 2 day old french bread chunks.

As time permits I have been reading my vegetable gardening books, hoping to help the strawberry plants survive. Not sure about that though.

Chicken Soup Curries Flavor

TJ and I are Thai Food fans. I already cook with curry so trying out this simple recipe was easy.

I found it in a newspaper years ago. I have many cookbooks and cut out recipes and I look through them every once in a while.

It really was delicious.

I will scan and post the recipe.

Dinner Chez Grasshopper

The girls have been participating more and more in the cooking and baking.

They usually perform tasks such as mincing onions, or cutting something into small pieces.

Whenever possible I explain how the tasks are part of a bigger picture.

Grasshopper decided to make her own soup, using ingredients of her choosing. My participation was limited to suggesting that the onions be sauteed. She did that and developed the rest of the recipe.

She took notes and can repeat it later.

Some of the ingredients were: potatoes, spinach, garlic, and the juice of tangerines. Color was an important element.

it turned out very edible and tasty. The time spent in the kitchen with my daughters is rich in love, tolerance, and creativity.

What to do with green tomatos

The final product. Green tomato soup.

Ready to eat.

Must pure first.

Added the tomatoes, green and red, as well as vegetable stock made at Thanksgiving.

Saute the onions and turkey bacon. Ham works too.

The star ingredient. Beautiful!
