Soup Tomorrow

What do you know?  I ran out of tomatoes!  That hardly ever happens at our house.  Usually I buy things like baby spinach or Spring Mix, tomatoes, and cucumbers thinking I should make a salad now and then, only to let the goods go untouched for a couple of weeks and discover they have to be thrown out.  Not now, not with my menu this week! 

I finally got brave enough to go outside of my comfort zone with the veggies.  Up until now, I was basically sticking to salad fixings.  Tonight, along with more tomatoes and lemons, I bought zucchini, summer squash, and okra.  Okra.  I have never tasted it in my life.  But when I saw them, I thought they would go well in the soup with the squash.  I figure I'll throw them in with some carrots and snow peas (and maybe a tomato).  I'll use organic beef stock and spices, and I'll let you know how it tastes.  Wish me luck!

Enjoy your day.  Enjoy this blog.
