Tampa is still riding the most gorgeous weather wave. When I got in from work yesterday I headed out on a run with my iPod fully charged. The thought of running until I ran out of steam crossed my mind more than a few times. Last weekend I bought a juicer and it was the best purchase decision this month. My mind is clearer and I feel more energetic. The juicer is easy to clean and easy to use and I don't know why I waited to buy one until now.
Today has been cloudy and cooler than usual. It made me want to cook something comforting and settle in with a book and movies for the day. Soups come together in a snap with around 7 ingredients or less. My recipe was altered from this but I used kale instead of cabbage. The result was delicious and filling with ingredients containing protein, grain, and several veggies. Instead of cabbage I used kale and I really liked the taste. A little secret about me is that I'd never eaten kale before February. It was then I discovered I liked it and I've slowly added it to more dishes over time. I try to experiment with new flavors and broaden my culinary skills. This was a pleasant surprise.
What a mess of rain we are in for tonight. A squall line with 90 mph winds is moving in and I'm keeping a watchful eye on the roof. So far so good.
