– I’m the lyrical Jesse JamesIts lunch time, I’m hungry and the Hubby isn’t going to go grocery shopping till tonight. What to do?
Make soup.
2 minutes in the garden =
12 snap peas, 1 young onion, 1 small japanese eggplant, 4 large swiss chard leaves, a sprig of oregano.
Saute bulb of onion, eggplant and chard stalks in local, organic butter till soft. Add chopped snap peas, chard leaves, chopped oregano and a splash of Long Trail Double Bag. Bring to a quick simmer. Add 1 cup chicken stock, 1/2 cup milk or half and half, chopped onion greens and salt and pepper to taste. Bring it all back to a simmer then enjoy!
The only thing that would make this the perfect lunch would be a slab of fresh baked bread but I haven’t gotten that far today. Soup and beer it is.

Yumm. I miss Long Trail. Not that the west coast doesn’t have good beer, but….I miss Long Trail.
Cheers!
