| Soup! |
Thank goodness the wardrobe changeover started a week or two
ago, because the weather seems to have flipped a switch this week and changed over to cooler. The wardrobe
thing has been in fits and starts, dribs and drabs, and isn’t done yet, because,
well, just because. The bit that has been done was mostly taking lightweight summer blouses out of the closet and filling the space with what appears to be
a flannel obsession. Lightweight cotton cardigans were rotated out of drawers
and replaced with cool weather, warmer counterparts.
This allowed me to easily dress for the chilly weather today. Of course, being a remote day made it easier, too. And it wasn't exactly 40 degrees chilly, just no longer summer weather chilly. It was nice to open a
drawer knowing what was inside and finding what I wanted instead of rifling through
storage bags and the cedar chest while swearing.

In addition to warmer fabrics in richer, darker colors, the
chill also sets my mind to winter food – heavier and heartier. Soup season started over the weekend with a container from the freezer of who knew what from Lord only knows when,
which is my favorite way to start. The mystery container revealed itself to
hold potato and mixed vegetable soup which was extended with a can of cream of mushroom
soup and chunks of chicken from the perpetual stream of chicken for Winston’s meal
booster.
Winter food supper season kicked off with roasted brussels
sprouts, mushrooms, broccoli, and onion, sautéed with butter, olive oil, and
balsamic vinegar, then tossed with angel hair. So yummy. What a difference the cooler weather makes in motivation to cook. And the temporary fix on the broken tooth that is allowing for
pain free eating. Small things, big joys.
