I made soup yesterday, roasted tomato and basil.
The beginnings.
As I was opening a can of tomato paste I noticed the expiration date was in 2020.
March 2020 will probably be pretty interesting.
Given the political climate at the moment, I wonder what the world will look like in 2020.
Somehow I can’t quite imagine it.
The onions, pepper and potato work up a sweat while the tomatoes roast.
So I sighed and finished the soup.
Torn basil finishes it up.
It turned out really good.
I hope 2020 turns out really good too.
Yum. Soup and cheesy garlic bread.

I hope 2018 turns out good. I hope 2020 turns out good. But with each passing day, I lose a little more hope. Our govrnment needs a complete fall cleaning – dump out, weed out, throw out. Start over. With a clean slate.

The only influence we have is our vote. We will vote and we will hope and we will not beat ourselves up over the behavior of those that should know better.

It’s hard to live with the behavior of those in a position of power to affect our lives so much.

What is with soup lately?? Lol
I’m making cabbage-potato soup, my friend is busy making split pea— Just that time of year, I guess.

Yesterday I was watching something and a lottery ad came on. I’ve bought maybe one lottery ticket in my life, but was thinking if I did and won a bunch what would I do? An island sounds good.

It is the season for soups. The day temps are now in the 40-50’s. The mornings are in the 20-to-low-30’s. Soup-making has been my strategy for mowing through garden produce brought in ahead of last week’s killing frost. All told, we’ve frozen gallons (and gallons) of both chili and curried squash. Soup-making is also a good way to achieve mental balance in a crazy political and news climate. I plan to vote! They say snow is not too far off on the calendar…I’ll snowshoe to the voting booth if I must, but I will vote!

Me too. Though I hope we don’t have snow to trudge through on our way to the polls!

I’m afraid your cooking is far superior to today’s politics. My money is on your culinary skills for 2020.
