    Do you have a happy place?

    Mine is the beach.

    I feel so blessed to have spent this fall and winter here:

    With these guys:

    Though I love it, usually by this time of year the weather starts to wear on me.

    I DON'T do cold and live in denial each year that it is ever going to get cold.

    Seriously, other than my running shoes I don't even own a closed toe pair of shoes. I just run around in my flip-flops all winter (silently) complaining about how cold it is.

    Crazy-Wendy-Logic: If I buy appropriate clothing I am preparing for cold and in the process must accept that even in Florida the weather gets yucky in the winter.

    This year I can't complain. We had some nasty weather over the holidays but January was pretty amazing.

    Today, however, it is cold.

    Like it got down into the 30's this morning-cold. Brrrr!

    (Good thing for me I went to the grocery store yesterday. :))

    I'm the crazy Floridian who acts like those of you up north would act with a foot of snow at the first sign of frost on my windshield.

    Cancel everything! Build a fire! Buy snow bread!

    And of course, make soup.  This Tomato Cheddar Quinoa Soup is just perfect for days like today.

    Today's soup is one you have to try - simple & delicious!

    Do you like the cold?

      If I can't find roasted tomato, could I use normal diced tomatoes from a tin?
