Today's ideas are inspired by all things kitchen. It's still time for fresh vegetables, for nights spent outside on the deck, and for delicious meals cooked on the grill.
My family always seems to spend summer time getting together - family comes in to visit, little impromptu gatherings, or enjoying the new hot tub my parents just had installed.

Had received a dressing down because i had oedemas (in my legs). NO salt – over – well – yes I started… Now I know why that fairy tale in which the three daughters of the king were asked by their father: “how do you describe my love for you?” – the first said sugar – the second said like my best dress and the third answered: LIKE SALT… Only those who know how food tastes without salt – know how right the third daughter was… Well – the father was stupid – he kicked her out of the house… After years – when he tasted food without salt because they had no more salt left in the palace – he remembered how right his third daughter was and was very upset of himself… He then regretted bitterly what he said and did to her… WELL at least he knew at last – some NEVER know not even when they are dying – no – that is no longer abt salt… ;)
OK so no more salt – nettle tea and not standing nor sitting too long… For a housewife THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM – right? Well coffee and salt – because coffee too – kept these oedemas alive – brilliant – how great!

versatile dish, this soup can be served hot or cold. It's rich in texture and flavor, so it will leave you feeling satisfied. As an added bonus, it's loaded with heart-healthy beta-carotene.

This recipe is courtesy of Pillsbury and one of the few (and I mean like 1 of 2) recipes I make that actually uses sour cream. I'm not a huge fan, but it's a little more difficult to taste in this recipe. And it turned out good enough that it didn't bother me to be eating it!

For the perfect autumnal presentation, serve chili in a steamed butternut or acorn-squash "bowl." To make, simply halve the squash, remove seeds, place halves upside-down in a shallow baking dish and microwave on high 5-7 minutes, until fork-tender.
Serves: 4 Prep Time: 10 mins.
