When we arrived, Jon and Mary Jo greeted us and then Sandy came out of their office and joined us. As usual, we had a round table discussion, even though the table wasn’t round, about the movie and other topics. After too much laughing—we left the book store—and then headed to Drew and Renee’s house, to see if we could help them with their iPod.
We stayed at their house for about thirty minutes and had a great time. Unfortunately, we couldn’t help them with their iPod, but we drove away with Drew’s recipe for asparagus soup!
We then went to the post office and then stopped at HEB to buy a few groceries, which now included asparagus and heavy cream!
When Tony and I returned to the rescue ranch, I had nine new phone calls to return, so Tony unpacked the groceries, as I reached out and touched someone—over and over, again.
After telling nine different people, that wanted to dump their wonderful dogs on us, because they’re getting a divorce, moving and their new apartment didn’t allow dogs, boyfriends telling their girlfriends to get rid of their dog, etc.—that we were full, with no space available—I was exhausted and became a little depressed about those poor dog's situations and teared up.
Not wanting to cry or be depressed, I turned on my iPod and really cranked up the volume. Then I went to the closet and pulled out— my purple vacuum cleaner, which I named Hazel, and then took her outside for a spin.
Hazel and I went into Outer Space, along with Thunder, Little Girl, Hank and Toto. Lucky, our cat, did not want to go with us, because he hates Hazel—with a purple passion. My best friends jumped up on the rocking chairs, and when they were all seated—Hazel went to work.
Within ten minutes Hazel quit—Outer Space sparkled, once again. Then we all returned to the trailer and I returned Hazel to the closet. I was feeling much better. I love my dogs, cat, iPod, Hazel, and of course Tony, Kinky, family and all of my dear friends. The rest of my day was great! Here’s Drew’s recipe:
Cousin Nancy’s Super Asparagas Soup
Ingredients:
1 Lb. of organic asparagas
1 large organic onion
2 Tbs. organic flour
2 Tbs. organic olive oil
4 cups of organic vegetable broth
1 cup of organic heavy cream
Instructions: In a large skillet add chopped onion, flour and olive oil. Cook onions until translucent. In a stock pot add broth and asparagus. Bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer for about 7 minutes. Then add all ingredients into the Vita-Mix blender and puree. Then pour mixture back into stock pot and add the heavy cream. Warm back up and garnish with black pepper! (Do not let it boil)
For lunch today, I am fixing it along with my famous chicken salad recipe that I also stole—from some innocent friend! Have a great day!
P.S. I’m going to invite Kinky over for lunch.
