It's a delicious homemade vegan pumpkin soup from a bar in the neighborhood . They have a few dishes (and wines) they offer at the bar & To Go in a food vending machine. As I'm useless at cooking to a point I even burn water when making coffee 😅, I sometimes treat myself to a takeaway from their vending machine.

Late night soup making.
What a weeeeeeeeek - I‘m working this weekend so I‘m not even halfway 😩🫠
It's a cloudy, cool, blustery, sometimes rainy day today 🍁🍂🌬️💨💧. Two friends became widows this week and I attended the visitation for one this afternoon. The weather matched our moods. Comfort food was definitely called for! I let the season dictate my menu and made one of my fall favorites! Fresh roasted pumpkin bisque and grilled cheese made with extra sharp cheddar and sliced apples. I have a heavy heart and a full belly.
The kids are both gone but I still carve a pumpkin, still have the book, still make the soup. Hope you all had a great Halloween.
What books are you reading with your kids for Halloween?

"Deep in the woods there's an old white cabin with pumpkins in the garden. There's a good smell of soup,"
Bought this for my daughter a long time ago in a land far, far away (England). It inspired me to actually make pumpkin soup from scratch which I now do every year after carving them out.
