You have a way with words that draws me in. Not that you need me to confirm, but lord, your nightmare is awful! I think we’re all contradictions of self. Now I need to make that carrot soup. Thanks for sharing.

Got to try that soup! Beets? They were on my yuck list for decades, probably because the beets on m] y mother’s table came from a can. But fresh beets - cooked any way you wish - are utterly delicious.

Simple soup yum. I would add some lentils too to make it a complete protein. I love the way you write it really enraptures me. Thank you.
