Coffee Cup and I have only moments before we need to get to the office. I was up late reading…. I put the finishing 
touches on a review I have coming up in a couple hours and I had to (had to!) continue on with Catching Fire. I am a total addict.
Today should be a pretty smooth day. Nothing really on the agenda other than the office, perhaps a little work out if my friend Heidi gives me a call and a roast in the crock pot so dinner is planned and in process. I havent decided yet if I am going to go pick up those last minute things I need for Thanksgiving yet today…. or hit that tomorrow. We will see how this afternoon goes.
Today I leave you with a recipe for Pumpkin Soup. I think this will be on our menu for Thursday:
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter

- 2 garlic cloves chopped
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin

- 1 tablespoon salt

Book Journey 
Good morning! Sounds like the holiday feast is coming together…pumpkin soup. Yummy!
Love anything pumpkin.
I’ve been up since 4:30 and posted my Teaser Tuesdays, blog-hopped for awhile, and finished a couple of pages on my new WIP. I know, a couple of pages isn’t much. But progress, not perfection.
Now I’m off to the gym. I was just minding my own business on Facebook when my Curves trainer showed up on Chat and reminded me to come to the gym!
I really enjoy your morning meanderings. I love to see what you are up to. The pumpkin soup sounds delicious. I am envious that you get to celebrate Thanksgiving, it always sounds so wonderful.
Great recipe! I’m totally going to try to veganize it for thanksgiving tomorrow!
sounds yummy!
Oh wow! This is a nice treat. Thank you!
