Thanks for the post from Sylvester Campbell

The Weather Channel on DIRECTV led me to believe this day would be ruled by rain and fog. They were right. This day begged for lit candles, hot baths, and PJ’s all day. Norah Jones in the background plays low and soft and the house takes on a feeling of warmth and comfort. Hot Soup was quickly becoming a necessity. The thought of it filtered its way through my frontal lobe and refused to leave. I could no longer listen to the explosion of ideas detailing the many ways I could create a hot bubbly elixir to comfort us from the inside out. I made my way to the kitchen and began. Spicy Vegetable Soup was born. I poured the kaleidoscope of vegetables into large mugs. The spoon rested on the saucer and even it yearned to taste. The smell alone left me drunk with pleasure. I lifted the mug and watched the steam dance before my eyes. The taste was pure satisfaction and I knew even if I didn’t accomplish another thing today, this day was spent very well.
