The Cure

It was bound to happen. It's all around me. I fought it, ignored it, and then.......IT won!

Sore throat, sneezing, and the awful aching!

All I could think about all morning was a bowl of vegetable soup. So I braved the drizzling cool rain and bought the ingredients I was lacking.....

And now it is ready to cure me.....I know it will....I feel it!



Add a piece of cornbread to the cure and it can't fail



Do you like cornbread or crackers with soup?????

Do you like cornbread crumbled in a glass and filled with buttermilk? Oh me, it doesn't get any better than that. My daddy loved buttermilk and cornbread and I followed in his footsteps. It is pure comfort to me. I laugh at myself when buying groceries. I read labels, buy low fat products and then march to the milk cooler and buy bulgarian buttermilk.

I'm already looking forward to a glass tonight for a snack.....

That soup looks great! I usually love garlic bread on the side.

I hope the soup does the trick!

It's better to eat a little of great food than a lot of so-so food. I fully support your choices to feel better!

I love home made corn bread! And, I am so pleased to tell you that although I do not care for buttermilk my Papaw always poured buttermilk over left over cornbread! Such a wonderful memory.

I'm not much of a cornbread lover --but I will eat it with Pinto Beans..... I eat crackers with chili and most soups...

I'm sorry you got the 'bug'... Hope that wonderful soup will cure it quickly.
Hugs,
Betsy

Nanny, I am so sorry you have the crud! Hope you are feeling well soon.

I'm a cornbread LOVER! My dad and grandparents ate cornbread soaked in buttermilk... I never developed a taste for that though. That soup looks good enough to be a cure! Get well.

Cornbread and buttermilk does NOT sound good, but I LOVE cornbread with honey!

A local restaraunt serves corbread with cinnamon butter, and it's awesome!

I hope you're feeling better today and that the soup and cornbread were just the remedy you needed. =)
