Summer has returned
Posted at 3:44 PM on September 8, 2008 by Paulette Thompson
It is hard to believe that we were in autumn mode last week. Because I had been fighting a bug for a couple of weeks my mother kept making chicken soup for me. I ate chicken soup for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. When I wasn't eating soup, I ate a lot of fruit and drank copious amounts of herbal tea and green tea.
It is nice and warm again this week. I can stay in the summer food mode for a while longer. Next week will be in the eighties!
My colleagues and I are pretty tired. We have returned to a beautiful school that happens to be unfinished. There are so many things to do that I have not done any real cooking for myself since we returned to work.
I am really digging fresh ripe plums, peaches, or nectarines with yogurt. Today I placed thinly sliced cucumber on my bagel sandwich.
I looked at my tomato plants last night and spotted some tiny green tomatoes. That really makes my day!
