I'm Still Here

Thoughts and Quotes: Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education alone will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone is omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.

Okay, Cal, got it. Pressing on - literally. I have to press the blue tablecloth for the photo of tomorrow's soup - Manhattan Clam Chowder. I'm using the Coastal Cuisine dishes, but it will look different. I hate to give these up, but I'm determined to clear out my garage.

I finished four more soups

Potato-Corn Chowder

Ham and Bean

Corn Comfort Soup

Ugly Hambone Soup

I'm working on a Lady Lunch for a possible book next year. Here's the table.

More on this next time. And that's the end of my glads for this year. Still have lots of marigolds, so I should do something for fall, I guess.

Nothing more going on here. Staying home because of the virus. Back to my soup kitchen. We'll talk later.

A Quick Update

Thoughts and Quotes: I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.   Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.

That's my new way of life. Just keep plodding, and don't worry about what's next. Try to stay on schedule. And so far, I've been able to do that. I made the Hummingbird Cake, because I needed a photo of a slice.

I'm on schedule with soups. I added -

Mulligatawny

Creamy Tomato Basil

Coolapena (jalapenos without the heat - I found a plant)

Broccoli-Cheese

Stole this tablescape from one of my VECC lunches.

And while I had all the apple stuff out, I redid the Apple Farm Dinner.

Oh, and I found some great chargers for next year's Lady Lunches. Like them?

And, of course I did have help.

I have to do two soups by next Tuesday, and I have one last tablescape to do over. Stay tuned.

STAY WELL

STAY SAFE

STAY IN

THANK YOU FOR SHARING MY LIFE
