Sloppy Joe’s were always my birthday request when I was but a wee one. I still love them. My mother made hers with tomato soup, but I tend not to use canned soups…I think it might just be a bit of snobbery on my part, because there really was a reason I asked for them every year. They were sublimely delicious! Continue reading

I love salsa. I think most people do. I love it on good tortilla chips. Good salsa pure, simple, with just the right balance of flavors. The thing is I’m picky about my salsa. I don’t like the watery version you get from using fresh tomatoes. Nor the thick, gloppy version that takes over the whole chip. Both of these seem to be de rigueur in many jarred, and so-called “fresh” salsas in supermarkets and many restaurants, Mexican or otherwise. So I decided to do something about it. Continue reading

I love eggplant parm. I was peeling an eggplant to make it when I realized, that I really should have another one, but it’s cold and I didn’t want to go out to get another eggplant, so then The Goddess improvises. In the way my mind works, or doesn’t, I thought SOUP! Anyway, you may have heard that lately soup has been on my mind, so in the words of the late Mr. Spock, “It is perfectly logical”. I thought eggplant parmesan in soup-form might work. I think it did. Continue reading

“Old Mother Hubbard
Went to the cupboard
To get her poor dog a bone,
When she got there
The cupboard was bare
So the poor little dog had none.”
We all remember this nursery rhyme, right? This soup is the perfect cold-weather-bare-cupboard-meal. It uses things many of us have on hand and if you don’t have these things, then you haven’t been paying attention. Continue reading
