Lazy Rainy Days....and chicken soup!

I have definitely fallen short on the promise that I kept to myself which was to make this blog more of a daily part of my routine...I was sick all week last week with a terrible flu and could barely lift my head off of the pillow resulting in taking almost two full days off of work. Aside from being miserably sick, there was some enjoyment...homemade chicken vegetable soup. A HUGE pot of it resulted in my time being at home when I couldn't sleep, had read through several back issues of Food Network Magazine and even started Julia Child's "My Life In France"...im obsessed...needless to say, sick or not, the simple task of concocting this soup was soothing... and breathing in the steam that was billowing over my big ceramic pot(purchased for me by my lovely grandmother) wasnt too bad either for my congestion.

Well, now the soup is gone and onto other projects at night. Before I go for a run this evening, I intend to try a "first" in my kitchen since my friend Deanna will be joining me for dinner....three words: lemon beurre blanc.

I'll let you know how it goes....stay tuned....it will be coupled with sauteed snow peas and will be poured over broiled tilapia filets. My mouth is watering and its only 1:45 PM....too bad I ran out of my delicious soup...I had to resort to a salad from home for today...which reminds me....I MUST concentrate on making my salads more interesting from now...

Will blog from my kitchen later....

XO,

Sarah
