I was out of the house early today and ran a few errands around town before heading off to the BOND office for my lunch instructions. I was making minestrone today, along with the usual fruit and veggies. It was difficult to find veggies that weren’t already included in the soup. My recipe called for onions, celery, carrots, zucchini, and green beans so there was a lot of chopping and prep work to be done. And since I only have two pots to work with I had to cook the pasta in three different batches and, when that was done, wash out the pot and use it for my gluten-free version of the soup. There wasn’t a big turnout today, but all the leftovers were taken home.

After relaxing for a bit we headed off to Townsite. The Magpie Diner had burgers and milkshakes on special and they both were very good. After dinner we walked up the hill to the theatre for cheap night at the movies.
