being in the moment
Maybe it was my sister's undoing. She phoned an hour ago as I was contemplating making fish pie for dinner. A few minutes into our chat said, "You sound tired".
Until that moment I'd felt fine, then as if by magic the word inhabited me and I was filled with a gnawing sense of fatigue.
There are numerous incomplete blogposts demanding attention but instead you will get this, a moment of sunshine in the kitchen this morning.
Soup made from a base of last seasons homegrown tomatoes, roasted with garlic then pureed and frozen.
Finely diced carrots, parnsips, some slices of onion and fennel, a can a white beans.
Simple stuff.
A pot of hot soup shared with friends on a dim autumn day.
This is what matters
Taking a moment in a busy morning to snap a few photos.
Watching how a glass of water plays with the light.
Becoming entranced by butter smears on a knife.
Little things that bring a sense of calm and wonder.
These things matter to me more than writing a post about food right now.

hot good soup banishes fatigue.
Crock ON!
So it's not a cotton bud, then?
*runs away!*
Bloody family...
No, you're absolutely right-on. Long posting can wait. A moment in the sun is worth SOOOO much more.
Zoe - you DO crack me up.
Thats funny - i've been craving fish pie lately too & plan on making one next week - hope I dont lose my desire to cook too
Time to yourself, the best present ever.
Zoe - my what big ears you have :)
...and I did make fish pie, consumed at a dinner time rather later than usual but absolutely fabulous. The mash did *not* have a masterchef amount of butter in in, maybe 20 gm per person and a dash of olive oil.
Delish!
