Homemade Tomato Soup on a Rainy Day

Tuesday, November 14

Today was another cloudy, overcast, and misty day. Fallish day.

It was a very low-key day. Did laundry, cleaned the bathrooms, dishes, etc. Grading and school work. I baked my cinnamon rolls and my sourdough bread in the morning. Mmm. The rolls were not the same as last time. I think perhaps it was because I used melted butter instead of softened butter. I'm not quite sure. Still learning this sourdough journey.

They looked pretty though!

This time, I did the glaze that the original recipe calls for.

Summer made dinner - creamy dreamy tomato soup and grilled cheese with fresh sourdough bread. Nothing better than grilled cheese and tomato soup on a rainy fall day.

These girls are always being silly with this cat.

On this day, I was really struggling with the cloudy skies. Candles bring a sense of happiness to a gray day.

I also finished an audiobook which I recommend - Counting the Cost by Jill Duggar. Excellent book and so relevant.

I also received a call from my daughter, Addie. She was so excited to share that her boyfriend's older brother just received Christ! We have been praying for his salvation and praise God, his name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. Never give up! God hears your prayers!

Happy birthday to my husband, Eric! He turns 45 today. I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami. I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno. We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders. I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.

(I cut the chicken breasts in half to make thinner.). Season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and garlic salt until combined.
