baby turnips & a new kind of terrain.

dearest beauties,

i am missing you

& your stories....

i am hungry to gather

hear how you are doing

life these days...

any new recipes? 

here is one i am working on....

i am hiking up some new terrain

my story is a mountain

that looks familiar

but with these new shoes

it feels uncomfortable,

awkward, not so stable

i am unsure

can it handle me and

my copper pots?

as i climb, i think about

creating a new kind of soup...

it's a combination of finely chopped letting go
sweating being seen and being heard
with a full cup of cream topped confidence
add a hand full of i can to the base of the broth
pour all the salt water you have
bring it to a boil then simmer
let it cook for as long you need

as the mountain gets steeper
i can smell the aroma
i can feel the heat
the pots are getting lighter
my feet feel higher
am i flying? 

i can hardly see

my heart

my hunger

maybe i need to shred

some loneliness into the soup

that will give it some thickness

i have no idea where i am going

everything feels old and new

at the same time

i am committed to

staying the course

and when i get there

(wherever there is)

i am going to drink this soup

in a tea cup i love

and call it a dayxxxx

AND...

buy some baby turnips

roast them on 400

with olive oil & love

for about 20-30 minutes

check them at 20

move them around

buy two bunches (or more)

they are so tender & lush on the inside

wonderfully strong on the outside

i am in love again

(the man i have been looking for :)

i eat these cold and hot

with eggs, salad, rice, everything

you will want to have them in your fridge

all the time... you can keep them in 

glass tupperware for 3 days at least

enjoyxxxx
