Update on 2/6/2013 — If you looked at this post earlier and saw the onions hanging down, you would have wondered what I was doing. Honestly, they looked like a bull’s private parts. Sorry! I fixed!

I came home tonight and fixed a quick bowl of minestrone soup. It was from the recipe that I shared a few weeks ago here. Looks good, doesn’t it? And note…this time, I didn’t use Parmesean cheese from the big green can…notice the bigger grated bits of cheese on the soup? I’m on it!

And do you know what else is in this soup? There were lots of them on my back porch last summer…

But there were sandwiches and soups and salads…and finally there was only one.

She had been on the potrack watching me wash dishes, checking out the feeding of cats and dogs, watching me dance to Adele…and now she’s gone. (Note…I checked the spelling of Adele’s name — ONLY ONE L!!)
