New Recipe #2. Creamy Tomato and Lentil Soup.

This one may be cheating just a little

(because it came with the seasonings all measured out)

however, I had to chop up vegetables including an onion

that made my eyes water and water.

That counts as cooking in my book.

I don't read a lot of cooking blogs

but sometimes people that I follow will show 

some amazing and exotic dish they just whipped up.

The other day on one of the blogs I follow,

her 9 year old daughter cooked up a beautiful something something to eat

which convinced me that I am qualified to take 

Cooking for Dummies classes.

Now I know that we can't all be gourmet chefs

and that we all have different talents.

I have a neighbor that a year or so ago admitted 

she has never made a dessert from scratch.

I adored her even more for it.

I really just want to be a better cook and try new things, so don't judge harshly.

This soup was so yummy.

Jeff said sweetly that it was some of the best soup he's ever tasted

as he gobbled it up

(now don't go over board on my behalf but it made me happy just the same).

Sheyla doesn't like tomatoes and didn't seem to eat much of the soup.

Davis wouldn't even try it.

I had two bowlfuls

and I will have left overs for days.

We did have juicy steak and a vegetable tray too.

So, nobody in this house is in danger of starving.
