I wanted to make a creamy, luscious Pumpkin Soup, but since I wanted it so badly, it went to the fasting, and I settled on making a beef/vegetable soup with short ribs and many veggies – quite hearty looking, since I threw in some noodles. Of course, then I realized I’d have to pick the noodles out of my serving. Dammit.
Now, I’m off to buy a lovely loaf of French bread to go with it the soup and salad.
And yes, I’ll have to sit there and watch everyone slather butter on their bread while I don’t.
I know, I’m being bad. I’m moaning about fasting and the Lord said I should be happy and jolly about it.
But it’s hard to be jolly when your butter-delivery system is taken away!
Sigh. See what I do for my country!
