Roooooooosebuuuuuuuuud!

"Roooooooosebuuuuuuuuud! "

Yeah. You know Citizen Kane's famous death rattle? That's kind of what I feel/sound like today. Needless to say I skipped work and stayed home.

Things that make me feel better:



* Jolly Ollie from Me and Ollie's Bakery



* Finished scarf four - one more before le mucho anticipated shop update!



* Carrot Ginger Soup

Olive oil
One large onion
A bunch of carrots - I used six
4 inch piece of ginger (I used A LOT, because I am sick. If you don't like your soup with a lot of ginger heat use an inch an a half long piece)
4 cups of chicken stock

In a large pot saute onion over medium heat. Add sliced carrots and ginger and cook until ginger is fragrant, about five minutes. Pour stock over mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until carrots are tender, about twenty minutes. Blend in batches. Serve with a dollop of creme fraiche or yogurt if you like.

* The Music Mamas Blog makes me happy.

Okay, time for tea I think.
