mmmm, that's good for my soul

Today's temperatures called for back porch sitting and flower gazing. I know it will get colder, outdoor activities will require bundling and the flowers will quit blooming so I took advantage of an early afternoon opportunity.

And then a storm front moved in.

Same temperatures, but 70 and sunny feels very different from 70 with complete cloud cover and wind, even if it is a gentle breeze. I moved inside.

 

I was restless for something else soothing. What could I do that would be health giving. Definitely not succumb to the temptation to make anything sweet. I have very little discipline when there are cookies or peanut butter fudge in the house. And retail therapy isn't a good idea either.

Ahhhh.

The answer came to me.

Hamburger in the freezer.

A microwave to defrost the meat.

Potatoes in the fridge.

That combined with a little garlic powder, minced onion, real butter and half and half.

Voila!

Homemade potato soup, topped with shredded cheese makes great comfort food. 

And I still can't cook for one very well, so I'll have at least one more meal!

mmmm, mmmm, good
