It's The Season For Soup

Been eating a lot of soup this month. It was extra money month, so I ended up getting more canned tomatoes than I normally do, and ended up making simple soup with them often. It's basically just a large can of stewed tomatoes, and 4 cups of frozen mixed veggies. No spice or herbs, just the basics. Generally I get 2 meals out of a pot of soup and they are a good sized feed. I enjoy it and it's a reminder of the old days when Mom would make the same thing when I was a child. It was the only thing she did not screw up cooking. When I was a kid, it was often Tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich at lunch time, while I watched the Flintstones. I've tried it in my adult years, but it just did not go down as well for some reason. Anyways, have a good one and keep smiling.

The Importance of Coffee to Me

Image
Do I enjoy coffee? Well yes I do and rather a lot. To me the act of making coffee in my Moka Pot and then consuming it while it is still hot - hot to the point it needs to be slurped, is a great pleasure and a great joy. It enriches my life to say the least. It is almost to the point of being spiritual to me. It's not just a wakeup in the morning, it's a start to my day with a nice warm hug from a mug of coffee. I got into coffee as a teen when friends and I would go to a truck stop and have coffee. It became part of my social life for many years. I have to say I did not drink it at home for a very long time. Then all the sudden in my late 30's, I desired to have it in my home. I got a drip maker and since then I've had many coffee makers including a fancy pod machine given to me by a great friend. But not one of them came close to the joy that is the Moka Pot to me. I have to say, I've cut back on my coffee intake and most days, I only have the one mug of coffee ou...

If you could become with one fictional character (book, show, or movie) who would it be? Lestat de Lioncourt from Interview with the Vampire for sure. But with a better outcome in his existence. I know he can be a complete twat at times, but I don't think there is a more cool character that will come to mind any time soon. A close second would be Doctor Who as played by Matt Smith (11th Doctor). He had style in spades, with a hint of being pansexual, but not a certainty of it. The energy of this incarnation was I think the best of all of them. But I'd still rather be Lestat.

July Blogging Challenge Day 28

Is your favorite attribute about yourself physical or non-physical? Non-physical. I am rather fond of my ability to think better than average. I hate to say it, but I think the average person these days has no idea how to correctly process and discern information. They just believe what ever is told them for the most part. As for problem solving, forget it for most people under 40 these days it seems. Yes some young folk are totally on the ball and can think properly, but most, not so much. It also seems that a lot of people in my generation have just stopped thinking and just go with whatever is fed them from the sources they prefer - be it complete bull shit and obviously fake as hell, or not. Thought is not important to the average person anymore. They rely on being told everything.

Coffee Is A Big Part Of My Life

Image
A nice cup of coffee is a great thing to say the least. Well this is discount coffee, but It's not terrible. It's the store brand from Real Canadian Superstore. It comes in a large yellow container. There is rather a lot of it in the container, and it is not going to keep fresh for the rest of the month, but that's OK I guess. The stuff is not terrible, in fact it's better than most of the coffee I've had when out for coffee with friends. It's not close to Lavazza of course, but what is that is not supper expensive. I've been sent coffee that was worse than this stuff and was far more expensive for the person sending it, and not enjoyed it as much as the No Name coffee (that's the brand name.) I find coffee to be a great joy and I have cut down to one strong cup of coffee a day, but I really need to be having that one cup. It is my pleasure for starting the day with. Yet it helps get me awake and so on, but it's also a great joy. Making the coffee an...
