precariously perched

look at me, I cooked a healthy meal, from a recipe and didn’t ruin it! It was actually pretty darn good.  Pork chop, butternut squash roasted with sage, and sauteed kale with garlic. I guess I could have sliced the garlic thinner or just used the minced stuff I already had, but, whatever.

And I have another serving, which, I don’t know how that will be left over, at least the kale.

But yay, me. I am not always so good at following directions but I read this one till I understood the timing and all so I did okay. 

And I still have a huge butternut squash and half a bunch (at least) of kale to use. Plus carrots and potatoes but those are easy.

today’s soup: mom’s homemade alphabet-beef-vegetable soup

I have been eating soup lately like it’s the only thing going. Last week I bought 3 different homemade ones at the market—wedding soup, ham and bean, and chicken noodle.  Yesterday my mom gave me this soup (and i have a little left), and I bought some tuscan bean with ham at the cafe yesterday when I picked up my sandwich (the soup was supposed to be lunch today but since I didn’t go to the office it will be tomorrow’s) and I also bought more wedding soup at the market yesterday. Like they say, soup is good food.
