Soup For A Rainy Day

 

Is there nothing better than a hot bowl of soup on a rainy, cool, windy day?  We like it around here.  The great thing about making a pot of soup is that you can use many items that otherwise might not be used. It seems that the relatives always used what was on hand and the pots sometimes had to be changed out for even larger ones as the soup just grew and grew!  Enjoy some soup today...

Things That Go Bump In The Night

This photograph was taken in our yard after the last downpour

My kids have always loved this time of the year and so did their daddy. You see we were only one house off the road and not many came. Randy would prepare and get excited each year for those that actually would come up to the house. He had such enjoyment planning his main scary decoration every year.

We hoped to hear the doorbell and at times we did. For those too skittish to ring sometimes we left a basket of candy out on the porch.  It was rare to have little trick or treaters but we never or he never gave up.

One morning after Halloween we woke up to find scattered all across the yard a mask, a pumpkin bucket with candy, and a black piece of fabric. We wanted to know what happened and what was the mystery?

Shrimp and Cheese Grits!

We love them and I don't know why we don't have them more often. Maybe just maybe I should have called this Shrimp Bacon & Cheese Grits! I do so love bacon! 

I like the fact that you can add just about anything you like to your Shrimp & Grits and it's always delicious!

Looking For A Stove What A Job!

Have you searched for a new stove lately? Oh my gosh, I've been searching for about a week now and non stop I might add. It is not as simple as you may think this searching online. I personally am not out and about these days so online it is. 

Guess what? As you may imagine things are pretty much at a standstill or slow-moving due to this blame mess aka you know what I mean it starts with a C and it ain't a cookie (lol)! 

Now that's what I call range!

Hmmm sounds like a good idea to be out on the range!

Today The topic is searching for a stove or range whatever you call it.  What the heck I know I'm southern but did you grow up calling what you cook on a range?  Whatever you call it the search is real......
