Where you live, it’s probably lovely and warm, but today is soup weather here, and I just chucked two heads of broccoli and a fat head of cauliflower into a pot for soup (with the requisite six cloves of garlic, because let’s face it: it’s getting to be cold season). While that’s simmering, I’m taking a lazy weekend wander through the web before I decide to build a nest of pillows and read my Cybils books.<\/p>\n
