Growing up one of my very most favorite books was Chicken Soup With Rice, by Maurice Sendak.
I thought it was an appropriate post for today as . . .
“In August
it will be so hot
I will become
a cooking pot
cooking soup of course.
Why not?
Cooking once
cooking twice
cooking chicken soup with rice.”
I have a huge smile on my face right now. I can’t help it. I just LOVE this book!
I really have cooked chicken soup with rice. I dont know why it’s been so long since I have. Its a really wonderful soup any time of the year, don’t you think?
Of course this is my “Soup du jour”!
It’s actually a rainy day here today and soup is just perfect.
Last week I made Julia Child’s french onion soup.
Are you hungry yet?
Come on by and visit us for a nip of tea and a cup of soup.

Welcome to the Rose Arbour Blog. Here in Chester Vermont we live life a little slower, a little reminiscent of an earlier era. I hope you'll join me as I share about day to day life and what it's like running a Tea Room, Gift Shop, and B&B. I'll also post any exciting news about new merchandise and events, and the occasional recipe. Thank you for joining me. I hope you enjoy your stay!

Lovely post! Of course, I want some of that soup – NOW! please. I really do LOVE this post. Perfect day for it, naturally!

I don’t ever remember your reading this book, but I’m glad you love to make that soup. MMMMmmmmmm. I expect to have a very large bowl of it when we come in September.
