I decided to make a cold cucumber soup on a cold afternoon. The thought of making this soup had been in the works and I wanted to time it for the perfect warm days as the crocuses were peeking through the soil. That did not happen, as the time came I made it on a cold rainy ugly, miserable day. I followed Ina’s simple recipe including cold shrimp. The subtle hint of dill is what did it for me. I was a bit nervous as I was serving it for Brandon. I have been experimenting with many recipes for when he has come over for dinner. I knew that this meal would be way too light for him so I poured it over some brown rice which did the trick. I was sitting on the edge of my seat as he took his first sip from the spoon. He cocked his head to the right a bit and let out a “hmm.” He took another and expressed his love for this soup. It is perfect for a hot day with a picnic in the park or a starter to a dinner party. We love this soup and can not wait to make it again!

It's been a while
It has been a long while. Life got busy and now it has finally settled a bit after the wedding. I have been blogging but have not posted anything. So here is a post to get you all back on track with my cooking and food thoughts!! This is a recipe I made for Brandon before we got married in the dreary cold winter months.
