...is Good Food

Yes, it was pretty hot today (and still is in this house)
Yes, I did wind up walking 1/3 of the way home from Little Tokyo and then spent about 30 minutes being DASHed around my 'hood.
And yes, I'm making soup for dinner.

I was originally going to make a small batch, but out of impulse, I decided to upend the rest of the veggie broth that's most likely past its prime in the pot. I should have left at least a bit to soften my next batch of black beans. Add to the mix a cup of lentils, a small handful of chopped onions, and chopped up chicken sausage that's been smoked and seasoned in cajun spices. I'm debating on whether to add another, or at least half a sausage to the mix, not really looking for more sausage action, but to get a better spicy flavor incorporated into the broth.

Add to the mix the fact that I'm in bed right now, which is warm, and I have a sprawled out kitten next to me that's a bit lethargic, but has managed to inch her way closer and closer to me. Now her paws are touching my arm. She's VERY warm.

No matter how hot it is, I'd never give up soup, or kitties.
