SOUP'S ON

I'm  glad to report that my sick calf is doing great and is all better but my cold which I tried so hard to squash has got me by the head... I'm stuffed up, especially at night and I have a sore red nose from blowing it and my head feel like it's on too tight.



So, even though I'm sick, I still have to do my barn chores and today I thought that I would make a great big pot of beef barley soup so I'll have something to eat tomorrow in case  I don't feel like cooking a meal.
I love this soup tureen that I got at Value Village a while back and I make use of it quite often. I love it.

 I shouldn't complain about  my tiny miseries because they are nothing to mention in regards to what is going on in Japan. My heart goes out to them and all those who live in its  path and fear for radiation fallout for themselves and their love ones.

Thanks for stopping by.  JB

    I hope you feel better soon. Colds really are the pits! It's hard to get good rest with them. Your soup looks so good. I could use a good beef barley recipe...hint, hint! Stock up on the hot lemon and honey...add a bit of ginger or cinnamon for the coughing, too.
    Take good care,
    Courtney

    Thanks Courtney and Kim. I'm off to bed with a cup of lemon and honey and I took an advil for my sore wrist from hooking a storm for my challenge rug. It's not the hooking hand but my weak left hand that I hold the wool with. Nighty night. JB

    Hi Julia,
    Yes, It is still morning here. So 4 hours difference. In fact I have only been up for two hours. :) I hope you can rest and get better today. I wondered about the time difference so I am glad you noticed.
