Hello folks!

I find that I miss writing on this food blog, much as I love writing about choral music on my Behind the Music site. (Be sure to subscribe on the sidebar, and make plans to attend the concert that my choir, the Cherry Creek Chorale, is performing this coming weekend, October 15 & 16. If you do miss this one, our Christmas concert will be the next one. I will say that normally I’d be in the throes of planning the Friday-night post-conert reception this week, but we’re not having a reception for this concert. I have high hopes for Christmas, though) As the world is s-l-o-w-l-y opens up again I’m getting back into food events. There have been two recently that haven’t shown up on this blog; let me tell you about the one that took place just this past weekend, and I’ll save the other one for later.

Hi folks! I keep saying that I’m working on my cookbook, and indeed it’s still being formatted and edited by my tech guy. I hope to have it out well before Christmas, or even Thanksgiving. Maybe I’ll do a little series before TG of my favorite recipes for that holiday. Are people getting together this year? We’re having our usual fairly small family gathering, probably no more than a dozen people, so that should be okay as far as health guidelines are concerned.

But for today I want to share a recipe from this past Saturday, when I was in charge of the mid-morning snack and the lunch at a women’s retreat at our church. We had only 25 attendees, partly because of last-minute cancellations and partly because, I’m sure, of COVID. But the ones who were there were very enthusiastic, and I enjoyed serving them. I’m going to share a soup recipe with you today and my new roll recipe later on this week. Both are wonderful fall items that you may find useful this month. Let me take you through my thought process in coming up with the menu.
