It's officially Spring according to
the calendar.
Look what I found at Whole Foods.
Pricey but I needed a sign.

Pussy Willows
Once upon a time we use to have a pussy willow shrub.
I don't think many people have them in their yards here.
I'm hoping maybe one or two of them might root
and I could plant it somewhere.

We'll have to see what happens.
Despite having a bit of spring fever,
I included soup on the menu for this Souper Monday.
Not quite ready to give that up. A pot of soup
significantly impacts
meal planning and prep time.
That's a good thing.
Jarlsberg Vegetable Bisque
is one of my favorites and I hadn't had a chance to make
it yet this year.
I've had this recipe for years and years and occasionally
think of it when I go to Sam's. I can get a nice block of
cheese for a good price.
Jarlsberg cheese is known for it's nutty, buttery, and distinctive sweet taste and
large round holes.
It's great for cooking and for eating.
It's a Norwegian cheese.
I love it.
