The Labor Of Love...

"If more of us valued food and cheer

and song above hoarded gold,

it would be a merrier world."

- J.R.R. Tolkien 

This past weekend... was the FIRST

time I attempted my PRECIOUS... Momma's

FAMOUS soup recipe!

The original recipe reside's on a old piece of wood...

that I've searched high & low for, BUT... know in my heart

that it's inside these walls, JUST where though!  

At the moment I don't know... 

So... I took to a recipe found in Momma's 

recipe's that held the same 

name & ingredients of what's to be found on the 

ole' wood piece.

Prep started on Saturday & then finished on 

Sunday morning... for Sunday's dinner.

To say there were tears would be an understatement...

it was balling tears... knowing how proud Momma 

would be to see that her legacy STILL lives on.

My hubby had longed for THIS soup

since Momma had went on to be with The Lord.

I kept enticing him with other meals & recipes...

knowing my heart wasn't ready to attempt SUCH.

And... NOW, I'm beaming with JOY...

hearing him speak THESE words, 'this soup tastes JUST

like your Momma's'!

I understand... Momma's labor of love... 

the gathering of ingredients & the moments 

spent over the stove were ALL for her family!

The HOMEMADE... potato soup 

brings about a feeling of home... a warmth; 

a feeding of the soul that NO other taste could offer!

Unfortunately at this time I'm unable to share

the recipe... due to it being published.

SO... stay tuned THIS year for recipes...

from Vina B's Collection!

BUT... for now... you're WELCOME

to sit at our table; laugh in our home... & enjoy

a comfort of HOMEMADE goodness!

With My Love...
