EAT - H E R B S

It is true....I have a "black thumb".  Unintentionally killing my beautiful green plants because I forget to water them.  But this time is going to be different.  I have accumulated a little tiny garden of fresh herbs - lemon thyme, Italian oregano, rosemary and spearmint.  I lovingly water them every morning and place them gently in the morning's sun.  If I can keep the deer at bay and continue to nurture my little plants soon enough I will have a lush fragrant herb garden like no other!

BIKINI - S H A C K

If I was to open a little shop with all of my little bikini's this is where I would want it to be.  I would paint it bright colors like a gypsy wagon and I would call it "Winnie's Bikini Shack".  All of my potential chickie's can pull into the "shack" on their way to Stinson, pick up the cutest bikini and hop right back onto highway one for a beachalicious day!

Butterfly kisses, the smell of suntan lotion, warm golden sun, jasmine at night, chirping crickets, coffee in the morning, holding hands, laughing and big fat roses are a few of my favorite things.

The last time I had a daiquiri I was pregnant, it was strawberry and it was a virgin - the drink that is, obviously not me. It had so much sugar in it that the next day I had the worse "sugar hangover" and I  haven't had once since.  Until yesterday that is.  Super easy to make, didn't add any fruit and it had just enough sugar in it to balance the fresh lime juice.  Icy cold, refreshing and left me wanting more.  Bottoms up.

One of my favorite soup recipes comes from Nigella Lawson's Forever Summer cook book.  Page 28 to be exact - Happiness Soup. The book automatically opens to this recipe due to the many soup splatters on the page.  All of the ingredients are yellow, super mellow and amazingly simple.   Over the years I have come to  tweaked this recipe and the name to best suit my taste.  I hope you like it as much as I do.

Sunshine Soup

18 ounces yellow squash (2 large)
zest and juice of 1 small lemon
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon curry (recipe calls for turmeric)
4 cups of organic chicken stock
1/2 cup of orzo (recipe calls for basmati rice)
roasted chicken breast - chopped (not in original recipe)
sea salt and pepper to taste

Cut the squash into fine rings and then finely dice them (I used a "slap chop").  Put them into a pan with lemon zest and oil, stir to coat, then cook on a gentle heat for about 5 minutes, stirring until they've slightly soften.

Stir in the curry and pour in the stock and lemon juice and then drop in the orzo.

Cook uncovered, for 10-12 minuets,  until the squash and rice are tender.  Taste for seasoning.  Leave to cool slightly before serving so that you can eat the soup warm rather than hot.  I also find that this soup taste 100% better the next day!  You may find that the orzo will absorb the liquid overnight, no worries just add a little chicken broth or water to thin it out.  Also, love to dip warm crusty bread with a little butter into this lovely soup.

Serves 4 - 6
