Yesterday I used up the vegetable stock to make a green powerhouse soup. With leeks, potatoes, celery and chard. Heat added from the water in an almost emptied Dijon mustard container, swirled around.
It wasn't photogenic, but was very good, a bit bitter from the celery leaves, excellent with multigrain toast.
My local walk, the twenty minutes which now takes half an hour, yielded some great October sights, goldenrod, fungi, the pond, exploding chrysanthemums, garden containers like animals.
The puzzle answer is

I think a lot of people got that right away.
And here's another interesting thought from the same source, just my idea of great information
Happy day everyone, I'm off to the derma today to see if my aging skin is managing.
Keep managing!
Fall allergies are indeed annoying.
ReplyDeletebest, mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I'm sneezing as I agree!
DeleteLet us hope your aging skin in managing. I do think it is. I am making soup, but not green. You have a good soup making skill. A beautiful walk!
ReplyDeleteGood derma report, go away till next year!
DeleteHave fun! Hope your skin is in its forties.
ReplyDeleteIt's doing ok, though ageing.
DeleteI hope you have a good appointment. the soup sounds interesting.

Thank you, it went fine.
DeleteWow, those chrysanthemums are really something. That sounds like a very healthy soup.
ReplyDeleteThat little area is packed with color. Only a couple of square yards, too.
DeleteHope your skin report is good. And thank you for the tidbit about the original of 'n' !
ReplyDeleteIt was, thank you. Nothing to fix.
DeleteSo the walk is taking longer because there is more to see? It certainly brings us joy.
ReplyDeleteIt's taking longer because I'm slower and older! But still enjoying it anyway. I probably see more now that my speed's down, come to think of it.
DeleteGolden rod blooming here too.
ReplyDeleteLook at those chrysanthemums! I do love whimsical pots.
I think if you saw them at the thriftie, they'd come home with you.
DeleteWithout a doubt.
DeleteEven in the autumn Mother Nature turns on a show.
ReplyDeleteI love foods that are not pretty. But are so very very good to eat.
Bit like me. Not so camera ready but I’m very nice 😂
Hope your skin check is all clear
That's so funny, though what Ive noticed, you're pretty photogenic. Skin is fine for another year!
DeleteVery autumnal visuals, there! I hope your skin is managing well. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, holding up nicely.
DeleteIt's a great time of the year for a walk in the woods. There is so much to see for an observant naturalist. Fungi are especially plentiful now - at least around here.
ReplyDeleteNow that leaves are falling it's easier to spot birds, too. Yesterday in one tree, bluejays, a Carolina wren, a couple of migrating warblers and a cat bird, quite a crowd. Fungi are wonderful, so rapidly developing.
DeleteI don't have anywhere nearly as interesting to walk surrounded by fallow agricultural fields as I am. my turn to fix dinner and I have no idea what.
ReplyDeleteAny birds around? It sounds very quiet.
DeleteWonderful photos and such a beautiful place.
ReplyDeleteThank you, it's a nice place, old trees preserved from building, so the wildlife is happy too.
