Day 9 -- Not so fine

Day 9 -- Not so fine

Today was not the best day but certainly far from the worst.  I just found myself blue and tired.

I'm not sure if I did not have enough broth today, or what happened, but it was a less than wonderful day.  Perhaps it was such a let down given that yesterday was so amazingly awesome.  I think the "blueness" was from the let down.  I spent most of the day tired and dragging.  Just a bit ago, I picked up a bit.  I've had more soup this evening, meaning like 3 servings, and I am thinking that there is a correlation here.  I'll be more careful with a larger consumption tomorrow.  Also it might be worth mentioning that the reason that I had so much less broth today was that I wasn't all that hungry.  And I wasn't so rumbly in my tumbly.

The highlight was receiving a phone call from my friend Leslie.  She always has the right thing to say.  She said that she was having a cup of vegetable broth "in solidarity" as a way of supporting me. What a sweet thing to do. She is such a dear and I so appreciate her friendship.

The soups all turned out really well.  The chicken soup with tomatoes and chard was about what I expected, but to give it some zing, I squeeze one Key Lime into a mug. (Key Limes are very small limes) It gives it such a nice contrast, something that I like in foods.  I don't think that I would do well with tradition British food.  Honestly, you can't blame the British for take such a keen interest in India.

I was able to not have to cook any new soups today.  I have enough to make it all the way through tomorrow.  Suzy will be going out with her friend Connie (who lives 6 hours away) tomorrow night.  It will be a special time for them.  They were roommates back in college.  That said, I think that I might just wait till then to do some more cooking.  But I could postpone that until Saturday morning, I'd expect.

Well, that is it for today.  Oh, but a special greeting to the followers in the UK.  I noticed that there are a bunch of you following this.  Thank you!!  Oh shoot, and above I beat up on your food a bit.  Sorry about that.  As you would say, I was being a bit "cheeky".  All in good fun mates.  That's me trying to be British, not a very good attempt I'm sure.  But I did have an Austin Healey for a while.  Hopefully that is worth something.  Oh, and my mother in law drinks the same tea as the Queen.  There, are we ok now?

Tata for now....Oh, but here's the next link:
