Tomato Bread Soup

tomato-bread-soup-1

Tomato Bread Soup, also known as Pappa al Pomodoro, is one of the soups I really enjoy whether it be a chilly evening or in the summer when fresh tomatoes are in abundance. The Italians do not waste their breads. The stale breads either go to the soup or in a salad, which is really great for they have some great flavorful breads to start with. The  first time I had this soup was in an Italian Restaurant, & found it incredibly delicious. I had been wanting to make it since then, but it never happened. When I saw Suganya Tomato Bread Soup, I knew I had to do it at home now I had a recipe at hand.

The Spring air smells good. Along with the change of season comes the colorful blooms of the pretty flowers & some fresh vegetables& fruits  in the market. The local market got crates of fresh corn & avocado. (I was somehow under the impression that the corns came during fall..) Anyway. we got quite a few of these. Today I saw Corn Salsa in Peter G’s (Souvlaki for The Soul) blog. His pictures tempted me to make some salsa with the hass avocados & corn right away.

Roasted Vegetable Stew with Coconut Milk

spiced-vegetable-stew-with-coconut-milk-2

Having been not feeling so good for the past few days, I was yearning for some change of taste for my tasteless sensation in my mouth. That’s what flu does to you – steals your energy, enthusiam & the sensation of the taste buds too. I did not want to even look at anything overcooked, or too spicy. Something different (as if some else cooked for me, you know how everything tastes better when you don’t cook), light & warm yet healthy is exactly what I needed & exactly what I got.

Flor de Jamaica Beverage

flower-of-jamaica-21

A Stunning  drink which comes with a pretty vivid color & a  taste as good as it looks. The name, the look, the color, the taste – endless appeals. With the warm air already filling in, I am sure this is going to be The Drink for us  during the next few months. That absolutely gorgeous color, the slight tang,  & only a few easy steps, with may be some lime & a hint of mint & some spices, result in this all engaging & refreshing Flower Tea or a Sorrel Punch!
