Soup. Yep that’s it (were you expecting some glamorous new age gadget?), homemade soup. You know the kind, where lunch cannot come soon enough.
I’ve been feeling the need to make a couple of batches of different soups before spring comes and the ‘food for my soul taste buds’ move on to other things. This week’s batch is a hearty recipe called, ribollita. If you like vegetable soup, then you will love this soup. It’s has a couple of surprises in it (including bacon and sourdough bread). Check out Barefoot Contessa’s recipe.
It’s a quiet day in my house, and after a busy month last month, I’m having no problem settling into this temporary state of bliss. Ingredients for this peaceful day:
An ever growing stack of books and magazines. 
Cuddle time with Jax the Dog. And a quick walk around the still, snowy backyard.
