Piping HOT Rachel Ray... B,L,T & P Soup!

Another Sunday, another delicious Rachel Ray dinner, but this time I didn't lend a hand. Though I asked (really, I did... a few times!) Anne put this dish together herself. Not that it wasn't without challenges and barriers, the chief of these being my inability to properly identify just what a leek is. Apparently last weekend, Anne and I went shopping for ingredients together, one ingredient of which were leeks.


When I went to the store on my own this time to pick up a few things I was one for two. The , I returned with BEETS! (After realizing my mistake--it only took a quick phone conversation with my wife--I ran back to the store for the correct veggie... of course, now we have 3 beets to prepare.)

Yesterday, despite the shopping snafu, Anne prepared Rachel's B, L, T & P Soup (Bacon, Leek, Tomato and Potato) Soup from 2, 4, 6, 8, Great Meals for Couples or Crowds, and it was "delish." Served with sliced baguettes, the meal was hearty, spicy and simple.

I wonderfully warm conclusion to a coolish January Day.

Breathe in, breathe out… YOU AND I ARE ALIVE!
