Carbs ..and soups..

 

I just love breads and soups..For 100 years I never ate bread.In my family growing up..bread was not something on the table at dinner.Dinner was dinner..Period lol.

In Jacques' family bread seemed to always be on the table.

Since I was evidently and clearly overweight from 10- 15..(the worst years right? For bullying?)

I stopped eating bread at 15 to stay lighter..and stopped eating Fiesta Chips:)

And this went on most of my adult life..Bread? Oh no thank you..

Unless I was out.

But then..bread became something I could easily eat one year..in my 50's and I have never stopped.

Not in a huge way..but I do make it and love a slice here and there.

Love soups too..

I made Ricardo's bread twice in 10 days;)

Because I knew I would be having French Onion Soup twice..and other ideas were swimming in my head.

A poached egg on his toasted bread is heaven.

I have shared the link many times.

Marie made a small batch biscuit recipe and J loves biscuits so I made those easy peasy ones too.

Ricardo's French Onion soup is also ..so very easy..

Make sure you caramelize those onions..and I add thyme.

I love  Bonne Femme soups..recipes abound!

I love adding maple syrup thank you very much..kicks it up a whole sweet fall notch.

Remember when you make soups..

TASTE.. not salty enough and you are eating..well nothing really..pepper..  herbs..a lovely rind of parm..in certain soups.

For the Bonne Femme soup..I scribbled it in on IG..you can find it is this post.

Just documenting what's up..

Blogging is my journal..kind of..so I keep going lol..

Hope to do my garlic bed tomorrow.

Fall has definitely arrived.

Haven't received my  tulips bulbs yet..

Fairies are in the Sheshed..tubers dug up..some..still praying for 1 dahlia flower...Not praying anymore as I finish this draft..

No Thanksgiving..watching the US from afar..curious as to the outcome.

God Bless the doctors..nurses..aides..TEACHERS.

In the words of Tiny Tim..

God Bless Us Everyone.

And hopefully ..Christmas en famille is in the cards.

In garden terms..this sums up 2020.

Not having the opportunity to check out my fave nurseries..I bought 1 dahlia..I had stopped growing them because of earwigs and slugs..

But caved for Café Au Lait♥

I started it INDOORS so it had a head start.

This CAL was babied..staked..watered..like an only child..

many nights a sheet in case of frost because I had buds.

Even the night this happened.

C'est fini.

Good news..no slugs no earwigs this year..wow..

But no flowers.

And here you have 2020.

So I will dig up the tuber..and try again next year.

Still..

I prepped my garlic bed..ripped out all the tomato and nasturtium plants..

And thanked God I had had this work to do this summer...

And thought..winter..please be kind to all of us.♥
