Velvety-smooth beet soup.
Beets and Bougainvillea.
This soup was inspired by the stunning fuchsia Bougainvillea growing in our yard, and the calling of the goddess within to share a loving spoonful of earthy beets with friends. Almost every morning my hubby Bill and I cycle to the Ernest Coffee shop and meet our friends for a cup of the best coffee in town, Stumptown coffee. It’s a cool hangout and a younger crowd than other coffee spots in town. We might be the only patrons without tattoos!
My table setting for lunch
The tunes are good and my feet dance under the table of their own accord. Speaking of dancing, Bill and I are taking Argentine tango lessons — not an easy dance by any means, but its HOT!! Tonight will be our third lesson and I am thrilled that Bill is digging it. He dresses up for the occasion in black jeans, a nice shirt and a splash of Armani.
Have you see the movie Assassination Tango with Robert Duvall? It’s a quirky film that we enjoyed immensely and inspired a spark of Tango in our blood.
My wish is to became proficient enough at tango, no matter how long it takes, and fly to Buenos Aires to tango with the locals. I hear the street food is dam tasty with chorizo-style hot dogs and the steaks are grilled to perfection, by all accounts. If anyone has been there and has some tips, I would love to hear about it.

The old cook book has left our kitchen, I fought with it for so long! This blog Louise has opened our hearts and stomachs,we’ve been waiting and you’ve done it again, filled us with tastes that bring fun to cooking. My son asked when he got home from school today “Da,see did that woman tell us what to cook today”.
My suggestion Louise….get a cookbook on the shelves and help the favourite room in the house,the kitchen, be the center of family life again..
Thanks
Thank you how sweet. I have a banana bread in the over as I write, so I will post a recipe and you can bake it for your wee lad.
