The Westering Hills

Just saw this Garlic White Bean Soup recipe on Farmgirl’s site and fell in love. What is it about the siren song of soup that lures me into its delicious snare? I feel like I could eat nothing but soup for a week and not get tired of it. So that’s what’s on the menu for tonight. It’s cloudy and chilly out so a bean soup is certainly not out of season yet here.

By the way, I only have three more days left in my Defying of the Merrymaking left and I’m actually kinda bummed about it. Which is silly because it’s a self-imposed sabbatical, right? I can just extend it if I want to, right? I might do just that and you wanna know the main reason behind it? I’ve lost six pounds this month! Six! I’ve been hitting the gym almost every other day, I haven’t drank any alcohol (and therefore, no empty calories & no late night munchies), I’ve been eating soup every day with meals, and most importantly, I’ve been following Weight Watchers almost to a T. I see no reason to not continue this program.

I’m off to the gym. I leave you all with this picture I found that makes me very happy. Feel free to steal it as it’s too cute to not be shared!
