Hiya readers! How is your Monday? Got a case of the Mondays or are you plowing right on through? I just finished a most excellent yoga practice and I feel amazing. The other day my friends' Facebook status was something about her dog licking her palms during final savasana. It made me laugh because that's something my dog would do. Well, it turns out Elle can top that. Today, she decided she would sit on me during final savasana. Apparently, she thought I needed some company in the corpse pose. ... View the Post
Pasta E Fagioli
It is a cold day which is all the evidence I need to whip up a tasty soup. A girl's gotta keep warm. Soup is my favorite because I always have some sort of ingredients for it. This is intentional. When I go to the store I stock up on beans, diced tomatoes, chicken stock, vegetable stock, fresh Parmesan, fresh veggies and greens... I'm always prepared to get the kitchen all steamy with a good soup. Soup is also my favorite because it reheats well and gets better with time. <-- ... View the Post
Minestrone Soup
Welp. Here we all are. That had to have been the worst apocalypse ever. OR maybe I saved the world like I said I would yesterday. We'll never know... ;) All well. I'm happy we're all still here. Let's celebrate with soup, shall we? I've been craving soup like a mad-woman for the past few days. The weather here is always a warrant for soup because it's foggy, dreary, and either misting or sleeting or snowing. The Viper Pilot calls it Italian Wedding Soup and I prefer ... View the Post
Chili Champs
Last night was First Friday (just a week late) at the squadron. The first Friday of every month, the squadron gets together and just hangs out. Kids tag along and there's usually plenty of beer, food and merriment to go along. Since it is well into chilly fall here in Germany, this First Friday, we had chili cook-off. Sorry for the blurry picture. Cameras and phones aren't allowed in the squadron bar. But I took one anyway. I keep a blog yo, I gotta take pictures. Sue me. ;) There were ... View the Post
Soup kind of month.
A couple of nights ago, as the Viper Pilot was building the usual fire in the wood stove to warm us up, I asked him, Me: "How does soup sound for dinner?" Him: "Soups sounds great. Definitely a soup kind of night...{thinks about it}...actually, it's a soup kind of month." He's right. We've been hovering around 50 degrees for the past few days and the dreary rainy days don't help matters much. The sun shone for a few hours during the afternoon on my birthday and that's really about it. ... View the Post
I’m bringin’ the chili to the party.
Howdy, blog readers. I'm so excited about the new Facebook page, and am even more excited about how awesome you all ya'll are for "liking" it! If you haven't had the chance to check it out, please do and "like" it! Bitte und danke. :) Someone is camera shy today. Poor pup, she knows what the camera is. Sometimes she will cooperate with me and sit pretty and other times...eh, not so much. I feel bad for our future children, there is no hope for them. They're going to love ... View the Post
