Haven't been doing much...we did pull an Ed Dray (love ya Ed!) yesterday when we went to 3 Banana's for lunch, closed on Tuesdays! So we stopped in at Belle's Bistro and had a salad and sandwich.
This morning I watered my plants and pulled one tomato because it just looked pitiful! The days are getting hotter and the tomatoes don't like it. Jim putzed around for a bit outside. We took Boo for a walk and then stayed inside for the next few hours. We both read our books, Jim finished The Thief by Clive Cussler and I started My Beef With Meat by Rip Esselstyn. Jim napped for a bit while I checked my eyelids for leaks on the Lazyboy.
Late afternoon we had a wild thunderstorm roll through. Power went off several times but all is quiet now.
For dinner we had Minestrone Soup and corn muffins
Minestrone Soup---my way
1 onion chopped
2-3 cloves garlic, crushed/minced
1 1/2 cups celery chopped, 3 ribs maybe
olive oil for sauteing if you want
1 can diced tomatoes
6 cups water
1 t oregano
2 bay leaves
2 t basil
2 cups veggies like carrots, bell pepper, potato....what ever you have
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup pasta,uncooked
1/2 cup parsley
cook! make sure your hard veggies are soft before adding pasta...
