Happy New Year

I had a terrible stomach ache that started on Friday. I spent the next 48 hours either curled up in bed or curled on the coach. 'Curled' was the only position that seemed to make me feel better. I feel much better now, thanks for asking. I don't know what the eff was wrong, but I'm about 95% better, so I'm happy.

After subsiding on pretzels and ginger ale for almost two days, the photographer made me black bean soup last night and it was delicious. I don't have a recipe, because he just goes with what's on hand, but it was soooooooo good. Black beans, tomatoes, onion, chipotle, cinnamon ... I know those things were in there, but I don't know about quantities: I was just grateful to have some real food.

I made soup on New Year's Day and we had a few people over for lunch. I was going to take pictures, but it was all gone before I could photograph it. Every last bit. But don't worry, I'll make it again (it's that good) and post a picture.

I've decided that January is soup month. I'm going to make a different soup at least twice a week and I'll share the recipes with you.

I was going to make a joke about a super January, but that's just dumb, so I won't.
