Tell me all about the hard times that you had to be alive

[sovay]

I do not wish to become a photo blog for a variety of reasons, including the importance of words to me, but my chicken carcass with vegetables and spices came out so peculiarly photogenic mid-soup-making that I wanted to share it. If my stovetop looked just a little more like a Symbolist void, I could try to convince people it was some kind of memento mori still life. Or, since we are going to get new soup out of it, perhaps a metaphor for renewal.



The soup is now boiling and doesn't look like much of anything, especially since I've clapped a lid on it for the next few hours.

Soup is definitely the latter.

It looks like it will be a lovely soup!

The photos are beautiful, and thank you for the reminder that I have chicken bones in the freezer that need to be turned into stock.

I love the single peppercorn nestled in the hollow of the celery.

And I really like posts that show my friends are nourishing themselves, body and soul.

I think of you often, and on my desk I have my copy of Forget the Ceaseless Shores.

Soup! The wonder cure all!

There was a news item a few days back about an old (really old) lady who came though covid and claimed her family's recipe for potato soup was what got her through! :o)

Mmm... soup!

The carrots and celery are just a base. It's not going to be a boring soup.

...sorry, Grosse Pointe Blank is with me always, it does seem like the beginnings of lovely soup.
