Jeanine prepared an end of garden soup from the ingredients pictured above combined with many others not shown. I can say with both pride and confidence that no one makes better soups than Jeanine. Of the hundreds I have enjoyed, this one may well be my favorite.
As if to punish me for abandoning it during my “drive about,” my iMac computer failed to boot up when I returned. It took Apple a week to replace the defective hard disk drive and I picked it up this afternoon. I spent the balance of the day reinstalling software and restoring all of my archived photos. Unfortunately, I lost about 2 weeks of photography and my archived e-mails. I am still working on recovering these files but the probability of doing so without employing an expensive recovery service is rapidly diminishing.
