I'll be spending some time today taking pictures of my scrap squares. But I found this charming image in the picture file...quite nice... for today.
I am reading the Royals Upstairs by Karina Halle....I've waited years for this particular book. It follows up the Royals Next Door which I loved.... and have on my bookshelf. There were some personal upheavals in the author's life that made getting this one written challenging. In the first book, James was the secondary bodyguard in Vancouver and rarely had any dialog. Just long silent staring with sunglasses. Same in this book. Norway and a different bodyguard situation.
Son and I made pizza and we watched football and then I put on my wool bed socks and rolled myself into my Down Comforter and fell asleep. In the middle of the night I also rolled myself out of the four poster onto the floor....but I didn't. Not something I want to do twice.....the first roll onto the floor years ago was enough.
The newspaper had an interesting soup made with a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. The grocery chickens tend to be salty.....I try hard to limit really salty things.... so I might just make a vegetable soup....minus salt and chicken. I have been saying I was going to make soup....for months...and Son has been discarding unused soup ingredients as they dry up and wilt in the Crisper Drawer.
Well, today is the day... S..O...U...P!!!!! I plan to use the recipe I got from one of the bloggers I enjoy reading. (Dee in the Boston area). It's called Pantry Soup because everything is in the pantry....or the vegetable bin in the fridge. Potatoes, Carrots, Celery, Onion, Cabbage, rinsed can of white beans... perhaps some canned diced tomatoes. (never mind the soup- all the vegetables are no longer in the vegetable drawer- daughter or son threw them away......) I have one onion....and some potatoes. Period.
I am very very disappointed....very. I have a can of soup but generally the canned soup is way too salty...

The veggies were soooo beyond their healthy usefulness… the cabbages were squishy,, the carrots could do backbends, and the celery was green slime and not the therapeutic kind.
