In Praise of Sleep and Soup

Sleep and rest. 

I'm starting to give myself full weekends, or at least trying.  When most of what you'd do for work is really fun, work and leisure get a little mixed up.  So, I'm starting to build in "easy" days before and after long days of travel.  I'm trying to give myself something the marvelous Linda Holmes of my favorite podcast, NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour, calls "Stay in Bed Saturday." 

And soup.

This part is for my friend, Deborah Sue.  We share busy over-scheduled days, and when we're on the road all day, it is easy to slip into meals with poor nutrition.   I love cooking a big batch of soup and then putting individual servings in the freezer.

Today, we've got snow on the ground and I finished off my last frozen tupperwared portion of this yummy recipe.
