Back in the kitchen!

Hi there!  I'm back.  I hope that makes you as excited as I am!  :)  I've been rather sick since Friday and have missed my kitchen.  So today, I made some yummy (and therapeutic) soup to get back in the groove.  :)  I think it worked too.

Plus, I got a package yesterday from my MIL who sent me these cookbooks I've been wanting!  So, I even have more excuses to spent time in the kitchen making great food!  ;)

(Joy of Cooking--a super great all american cookbook!  and Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking!!!)
