Would you hire this pianist? He knows all the words to "Bob the Builder" and "Scooby Doo".
I am still on liquids today, as my mouth is very sore from all of my dental work. Honestly, the crown was worse than the root canal! You would think that something called a crown would be pleasant. After all, I am a big fan of pretty jewelry. One of my friends told me to ask them to give me a gold tooth with my initials in diamonds. Do you think insurance would cover that? ;)
I don't mind surviving on a liquid diet when the liquids are thick, chocolate smoothies and refreshing chilled soups. Here is a cucumber soup that elevates that humble vegetable to a whole new level.
Chilled Cucumber Soup from 1000 Vegetarian Recipes
2 medium cucumbers, peeled and seeded
1 small onion, quartered
1 cup water
1 cube chicken bouillon
1/2 tsp dried dill weed
1 cup fat free milk
1 tsp vinegar
1/4 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1. Place cucumbers, onion, water, bouillon, and dill in a food processor or blender. Cover and blend until smooth.
2. Add remaining ingredients. Cover and blend until combined. Chill.
3. Yields 4, 1 point servings

I followed some advice from Rebecca and read this interesting article on food blogging. It was eye opening for me. Here is what I feel concretely, which was reinforced after reading this article: the two best things about blogging are the creativity it allows me and the truly amazing people I "meet". I appreciate each and every one of my followers, I love your comments, and I am blessed to read your posts. If I had the technical skills, I would create a BEST FOLLOWERS IN THE WORLD award for you!
David Lebovitz mentions photography and gives some tips. One of my favorite "uncles" happens to be a fabulous, globe trotting photographer. A recent article compiled some of his tips. I highly recommend it.
If you are interested in seeing more of his photographs, he has an excellent display from a recent trip to Australia. Just click here. (Truly, I am so proud of him! Can you tell?)
David Lebovitz says I shouldn't give you so much text without a picture and that I should showcase the culture in which I live. So, here is a picture of some lovely Tennessee horses. Ya'll come back now, ya hear?
