Speaking of Blogging Friends...

A wonderful surprise arrived in our post office box yesterday!  I SEE things like this in Somerset Magazines, but I'm not sure I've ever actually held one in my hands before...Thank you, DARLA!
It has found its home on our (fake) fireplace mantel along with the year-old white ceramic pumpkin and the little plastic ornament. Inspired by the all the reminders of the season and the nippy air this morning,  I think I shall make some pumpkin soup for our mid-afternoon lunch/dinner today!

BREAKING NEWS!  I just "invented" pumpkin soup!  1 chicken bouillon cube dissolved in 1 cup of water, a can of  100% packed pumpkin,  about 1/2 cup of chunky peanut butter and milk (I used skim) to make it the desired consistency.  A taste test resulted in the addition of some white pepper.  Yum!  Can't wait to have a bowl this afternoon!  I've put ingredients for our favorite bread machine bread into the bread maker.  It will go well with the soup, I think.

  2. I didn't realize I was one of the "first", Meg. I'm honored and humbled at the same time.

  5. Great surprise in the mail, Rebecca. I must try this soup real soon, and the fresh bread sounds delicious too.
    Thank you for coming by today and for your sweet comment, however after 4 attempts to fix my post, blogger for some reason deleted the whole post. lol I decided it was time to take a break, so i went and did laundry, at least I had something to show for the day. lol
    Enjoy your weekend,
    Hugs,
    Sue

  7. Friends, You probably know that many pumpkin soup recipes call for heavy cream and chicken broth (neither of which I had on hand). I'm sure these would have made it even better - but both my husband and I enjoyed it the way I made it.

  8. I just caught up on reading the last 10 of your blogs! There's no way I can comment on them all. I think the pumpkin soup sounds delicious and want to try it.

    I'm still not home; hoping to get back to a more normal routine soon. The cruise was wonderful and now I'm in Hilton Head helping a friend clean and organize her condo--it was recently remodeled--dust and stuff on everything.
