Spring time in Nebraska - gotta love it!

24 degrees and snowing = soup!  At our house soup is welcomed anytime but especially today. And my favorite kind of soup is when I rummage through the fridge and freezer to see what I can find and throw it all in a pot.

I started with some chicken stock, chopped up half an onion, two carrots, a potato, a bit of broccoli left over in the fridge, and a garlic clove. Behind the ice cream I found a little bit of frozen chicken (which I had completely forgotten about), corn, peas and a few herbs from last year's garden (parsley, rosemary, thyme, and basil). ** If you're old, you might be thinking of Simon and Garfunkel right now**

 Within 15 minutes I had a hearty pot of soup on the stove. As I'm stirring up this colorful pot of deliciousness there seemed to be something missing..... tomatoes!!! Thankfully we still have plenty of our canned tomatoes so I dumped a jar in. "Dumped" is a very technical culinary term you know. :)

Iced Coffee

Sheesh - why didn't I think of this before?!  I LOVE iced coffee but always hate when the ice cubes melt and water it down so I am definitely doing this! I know - I know. There are those of you wrinkling up your nose right now just thinking about drinking cold coffee but the taste of strong cold coffee with a splash of half and half.... mmmmmm, Yummy!

Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption will inspire you. You want perspective? This book will give you perspective. It is the story of a man, Louis Zamperini, who became a running prodigy, on his way to setting world records in the 1940 Olympics. He was closing in on the four minute mile when war interrupted his dream and he found himself in the Army Air Corp as a bombardier. Stationed at Oahu he survived many air battles but the day his plane was shot down was a day that would change his life forever. This is a powerful story of a man’s sheer will and his refusal to be broken.

It’s one of the most memorable books I’ve read.
