So I have this huge job of building a new web site on a new web host using a web site builder program that has a "ginormous" learning curve... I spent many hours on Saturday tweaking my new web site to try and get it ready for a near-future launch, making some, but not a lot of progress. I ended my work for the night in time to watch our beloved Pats increase their incredible winning streak to 17-0.
Faced with another day of work and thinking about everything I have yet to do on this web site it became overwhelming. So, I decided to have a "domestic goddess day" and spent most of it in the kitchen making a wonderful "Winter Minestrone" soup and an equally wonderful carrot cake that called for a jar of baby food carrots to keep it moist and rolled oats for a bit more nutrition. These two recipes came out of the current Cooking Light magazine, which you should all run out and get! My husband said the meal of soup, a lovely 12-grain batard I got from the grocery store and the carrot cake (sans the high-fat frosting) for dessert was "probably the best meal we've had in Maine!" Wow!! That's high praise coming from my picky husband! I added some mini-meatballs to the soup to give it a little more substance, kind of like those found in Italian Wedding soup. I think that was just the right touch.
Well, I still have all this web site work to do, but will defer that to the work week. Hey, we all need a day off once in a while, right? It felt great!
'Til next time,

Yum, that minestrone soup sounds really good! I haven't even had breakfast yet LOL.
It's great! My husband was almost in tears when we finished the last of it, ha ha! I think I'll definitely be making more of that again soon.
