Minestrone...

One beautiful day.

50 degrees +.

 No red coats today.

 A lot more snow has melted since this morning.

 I decided to make a big pot of Minestrone soup

after chores.  Nancy served it to us at our last rehearsal

and it was so delicious I was motivated.

Started out with celery, onions and carrots.

While that was going on,  I put some chicken stock (Better than Boullion)

and a (frozen) bag of our home made sauce in a big pot.

Let those flavors blend together, then I added cannellini beans,

green beans, black beans, diced potatoes and corn.

In the meantime, made whatever pasta I could find

and drained it.

 Threw in some spinach

 and added the cooked pasta.

Salt and pepper to taste.

 The kitchen smelled divine.

 At 3 I had a much needed massage and stopped at Wegmans on the way home.

Yey!!!!! Karen was back so I did not have to do evening chores.

 Dinner was delicious.

 Night all.
