Nothing like soup and sandwich. ;-d Childhood memories and comfort
food...

Might be about time to make a pot of black soybeans, but with the
current drought and 100+ degree temps, the weather is just not right for
soups yet!

I've even been letting all 3 dogs live indoors for the afternoons. I'm
not leaving my poor pups outside in those temps!

It's not stopping me from grilling tho'. Ferocious stole a chicken leg
off the mini-grill the other day. I took it away from him and tossed it
as I don't want him eating a leg bone...
