Day125 and recipe 105

Getting back in the groove with Cream of Broccoli soup (pg 28). It was very tasty and received well by Mom and Sam alike. The recipe is a little confusing. I used 6 cups of vegetable soup stock and sauteed the onions in the oil before making the cream sauce. The herbs should be added to cook with the broccoli.

Speaking of herbs: I was able to grab all the herbs for the soup right from my kitchen garden: Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme. Wait a minute that was a song in the 60's there is no call for sage in this recipe! Was it Simon and Garfunkle...?

We had such a wonderful time with Maja's parents. We had to do all the traditional Maine things for them like Lobster for dinner, blueberry pancakes with real Maple syrup for breakfast etc. So now, I will have to catch up on cooking Bill's great recipes.

It is so easy to let the urgent things of life squash out the important things like eating healthy meals. If I wasn't doing this blog I am sure I would be tempted to grab a frozen bag of something out of the freezer.
